We are his body, living as one;

our God is here. And we cry:

Offertory How Can I Keep From Singing

1. My life flows on in endless song

Above earth's lamenta�on.

I hear the real though far-off hymn

That hails a new crea�on.

Refrain

No storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to that rock I'm clinging.

Since love is Lord of

heaven and earth,

How can I keep from singing?

2. Through all the tumult

and the strife,

I hear that music ringing;

It sounds and echoes in my soul;

How can I keep from singing?

3. What, though my joys

and comfort die,

The Lord, my savior liveth.

What though the darkness

gather 'round?

Songs in the night it giveth.

4. The peace of Christ

makes fresh my heart,

A fountain ever springing.

All things are mine since I am his;

How can I keep from singing?

Communion Shepherd of Our Hearts

Refrain

Shepherd of our hearts,

receive our song of praise.

Lead us to the Kingdom,

and guide us all our days.

1. Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless

your chosen pilgrim flock

with manna in the wilderness,

with water from the rock.

2. We would not live by bread alone,

but by your word of grace,

in strength of which we

travel on to our abiding place.

3. Be known to us in breaking bread,

but do not then depart;

O Lord, abide with

us, and spread your table in our heart.

4. Lord, sup with us in love divine;

your Body and your Blood,

that living bread, that heav'nly wine

be our immortal food.

Family Prayer

L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdi-ocese have appreciated the pray-

ers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Suc-cor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism.

We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives re-spect to the life and dignity of all people.

Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence.

Hear our prayer and give us the persever-ance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.

Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

Ofertorio Visión Pastoral

1. Eran cien ovejas

que había en su rebaño,

Eran cien ovejas

que amante cuido;

Pero una tarde al contarlas todas,

le faltaba una, le faltaba una

y triste lloró.

Las noventa y nueva

dejo en el aprisco

y por la montaña a buscarla fue;

La encontró llorando,

temblando de frío.

Ungió sus heridas,

la cargo en sus hombros

y al redil volvió.

2. Esa an�gua historia

vuelve a repe�rse,

todavía hay ovejas

que errabundas van;

con el alma rota

van por los collados,

temblando de frío,

vagando en el mundo,

sin Dios y sin luz.

Pero todavía existen pastores

que por la montaña

a buscarlas van,

y cuando las hallan,

las traen al camino,

al camino bueno,

la Verdad y Vida

que es Cristo el Señor.

3. Si tú eres un alma

que sufre la angus�a

de sen�rse sola

en cruel lobreguez,

hoy te traigo nuevas,

nuevas de gran gozo,

es el evangelio

que salva y redime

y te da la luz.

Sea en la montaña

o en la cumbre agreste,

ya fuera en el valle

o en abismo cruel,

Cristo el Buen Pastor

quiere en pastos verdes

confortar tu alma,

vendar tus heridas y darte la paz.

Offertory You Sa*sfy The Hungry Heart

Refrain

You sa�sfy the hungry heart

With giU of finest wheat;

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

The bread of life to eat.

1. As when the shepherd calls his sheep,

They know and heed his voice;

So when you call your fam'ly, Lord,

We follow and rejoice.

2. With joyful lips we sing to you

Our praise and gra�tude,

That you should count us worthy, Lord,

To share this heav'nly food.

3. Is not the cup we bless and share

The blood of Christ outpoured?

Do not one cup, one loaf, declare

Our oneness in the Lord?

4. The myst'ry of your presence, Lord,

No mortal tongue can tell:

Whom all the world cannot contain

Comes in our hearts to dwell.

5. You give yourself to us, O Lord;

Then selfless let us be,

To serve each other in your name

In truth and charity.

Communion Take And Eat

Refrain Take and eat; take and eat:

this is my body given up for you.

Take and drink; take and drink:

this is my blood given up for you.

1. I am the Word that spoke and

light was made; I am the seed that

died to be reborn; I am the bread that

comes from heav'n above;

I am the vine

that fills your cup with joy.

2. I am the way that leads the

exile home; I am the truth that sets

the cap�ve free; I am the life that

raises up the dead; I am your peace,

true peace my giU to you.

3. I am the Lamb that takes away

your sin; I am the gate that guards

you night and day; You are my flock:

you know the shepherd's voice;

You are my own:

your ransom is my blood.

4. I am the cornerstone that

God has laid; A chosen stone

and precious in his eyes;

You are God's dwelling place,

on me you rest; Like living stones,

a temple for God's praise.

5. I am the light that came into the

world; I am the light that darkness

cannot hide; I am the morning star

that never sets; LiU up your face,

in you my light will shine.

6. I am the first and last,

the Living One;

I am the Lord who

died that you might live;

I am the bridegroom,

this my wedding song;

You are my bride,

come to the marriage feast.

Today is “Good Shepherd Sunday.” The gospel reading, John 10:27-30, is very short but to the point. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me,” John 10:27. Je-sus is the “Good Shepherd” and we are the sheep. He is such a “good” shepherd. Think about it. He was slain for His sheep! Do you have any family or friends that sacrifice for you? At Life Teen and Edge, we pray that we can imitate Jesus, the good shepherd. Come join us!

When Jesus walked the earth, life was tough. There were no worldly comforts and the Ro-man rulers were cruel savages. To survive one had to be strong of body and mind. Jesus did not suffer and die because He was weak, in fact He chose to surrender to His attackers to save us from the power of evil. He mirrored for us how we are to live in today’s world. We too need to be strong both in body and in mind, and this strength comes from our faith in Christ who has risen from the grave.

Our television screens are filled with images of the blood of martyrs poured out on streets across the world due to the savagery of those who have chosen evil over good. To conquer this evil, we need to become soldiers of Christ, real Christians who are not afraid of the destruction of satan, but are confident that through the cross and resurrection of Jesus we too will defeat evil and rise again in victory. As St. John Paul ll often said to us, “Be not “Be not “Be not “Be not afraid!”afraid!”afraid!”afraid!”

Cuando Jesús estuvo en la tierra, la vida era dura. No había las comodidades

mundanas y los gobernantes Romanos eran crueles salvajes. Para sobrevivir uno

tenía que ser fuerte de cuerpo y mente. Jesús no sufrió y murió porque era débil,

de hecho, él optó por rendirse a sus atacantes para salvarnos del poder del mal.

El refleja para nosotros cómo debemos vivir en el mundo de hoy. Nosotros

también necesitamos ser fuertes tanto de cuerpo como de mente, y esta fuerza viene de nuestra fe en Cristo, que se

ha levantado de la tumba.

Nuestras pantallas de televisión están llenas de imágenes de la sangre que los mártires derramaron en las calles de

todo el mundo debido a la ferocidad de aquellos que han elegido el mal sobre el bien. Para vencer este mal, tenemos

que ser soldados de Cristo, cristianos verdaderos que no tienen miedo de la destrucción de Satanás, pero confiamos

en que a través de la cruz y la resurrección de Jesús, también nosotros vamos a vencer al mal y subir de nuevo en la

victoria. Como San Juan Pablo II a menudo nos dijo: "No tengan miedo!"

Hoy es el día de "Domingo el Buen Pastor." La lectura del Evangelio, Juan 10: 27-30, es bien corta pero direc-ta al punto. Jesús dijo: "Mis ovejas oyen mi voz; Yo las conozco, y me siguen, "Juan 10:27. Jesús es el "Buen Pastor" y nosotros somos las ovejas. Él es un "buen" pastor. Piénsalo. El murió por sus ovejas! ¿Tiene fami-liares o amigos que se sacrifiquen por usted? En Life Teen y Edge, rogamos que podamos imitar a Jesús, el buen pastor. ¡Ven y únete a nosotros!

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself en-tirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.

Acto de Comunión Espiritual

Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te

amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no pue-do recibirte sacramental-mente, al me-

nos ven a mi corazón espiritual-mente. Como ya has venido, Yo te abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.
