Entrance SongHere I Am, Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.All who dwell in dark and sin My hand will save.I, who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?I have heard you calling in the night.I will go, Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain.I have wept for love of them. They turn away.I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone.I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?




I have heard you calling in the night.I will go, Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.

1st Reading1 Sm 3:3b-10, 19

Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORDwhere the ark of God was.The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, “Here I am.”Samuel ran to Eli and said, “Here I am. You called me.”“I did not call you, “ Eli said. “Go back to sleep.”So he went back to sleep.Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli.“Here I am, “ he said. “You called me.”But Eli answered, “I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep.”

At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD,because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet.The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time.Getting up and going to Eli, he said, “Here I am. You called me.”Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth.So he said to Samuel, “Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply,Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.”When Samuel went to sleep in his place,the LORD came and revealed his presence,calling out as before, “Samuel, Samuel!”Samuel answered, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him,




not permitting any word of his to be without effect.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 40: Here I Am

Here I am, Lord, here I am. I come to do your will.

Long was I waiting for God, and then he heard my cry.It was he who taught this song to me, a song of praise to God.


You asked me not for sacrifice, for slaughtered goats of lambs.No, my heart, you gave me ears to hear you, then I said, “Here I am.”


You wrote it in the scrolls of law what you would have me do.Doing that is what has made me happy, your law is in my heart.


I spoke before your holy people, the good news that you save.Now you know that I will not be silent, I’ll always sing your praise.

2nd Reading1 Cor 6:13c-15a, 17-20




Brothers and sisters:The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord,and the Lord is for the body;God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him.Avoid immorality.Every other sin a person commits is outside the body,but the immoral person sins against his own body.Do you not know that your bodyis a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?For you have been purchased at a price.Therefore glorify God in your body.

GospelJn 1:35-42

John was standing with two of his disciples,and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said,“Behold, the Lamb of God.”The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them,“What are you looking for?”They said to him, “Rabbi” — which translated means Teacher —,“where are you staying?”He said to them, “Come, and you will see.”So they went and saw where Jesus was staying,and they stayed with him that day.It was about four in the afternoon.Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter,was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.He first found his own brother Simon and told him,




“We have found the Messiah” — which is translated Christ —.Then he brought him to Jesus.Jesus looked at him and said,“You are Simon the son of John;you will be called Cephas” — which is translated Peter.Offertory SongYou Walk along Our Shoreline

You walk along our shoreline, Where land meets unknown sea.We hear your voice of power, “Now come and follow me.And if you still will follow Through storm and wave and shoal,Then I will make you fishers, But of the human soul.”

You call us, Christ, to gather The people of the earth.We cannot fish for only Those lives we think have worth.We spread your net of gospel Across the water’s face,Our boat a common shelter For all found by your grace.

We cast our net, O Jesus; We cry the kingdom’s name;We work for love and justice; We learn to hope through pain.You call is, Lord, to gather God’s daughters and God’s sons,To let your judgment heal us So that all may be one.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,I believe that You are presentin the Most Holy Sacrament.I love You above all things,and I desire to receive You into my soul.Since I cannot at this momentreceive You sacramentally,




come at least spiritually into my heart.I embrace You as if You were already thereand unite myself wholly to You.Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen

Communion SongBread of Life from Heaven

Bread of life from heaven, your blood and body given,we eat this bread and drink this cup until you come again.

Break now the break of Christ’s sacrifice;Giving thanks, hungry ones gather round.Eat, all of you, and be satisfied;In Christ’s presence that loaves will abound.


Seek not the food that will peace away;Set your hearts on the food that endures.Come, learn the true and the living Way,That the fullness of life may be yours.


Love as the One who, in love for you,Gave himself for the life of the world.Come to the One who is food for you,That your hunger and thirst be no more.





Take in the light that will never dim,Taste the life that is stronger than death.Live in the One who will come and thenRaise you up at the last with the blest.


Dwell in the One who now dwells in you;Make your home in the lifegiving Word.Know only Christ, Holy One of God,And believe in the truth you have heard.


Drink of this cup and declare his death;Eat this bread and believe Easter morn.Trust his return and, with ev’ry breath,Praise the One in whom you are reborn.

St. Michael’s Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel,




defend us in battle.Be our defense against the wickednessand snares of the Devil.May God rebuke him,we humbly pray,and do thou,O Prince of the heavenly hosts,by the power of God,thrust into hell Satan,and all the evil spirits,who prowl about the worldseeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

RecessionalThe Summons

Will you come and follow me If I but call your name?Will you go where you don’t know And never be the same?Will you let my love be shown, Will you let my name be known,Will you let my life be grown In you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind If I but call your name?Will you care for cruel and kind And never be the same?Will you risk the hostile stare Should your life attract or scare?Will you let me answer prayer In you and you in me?
