HYMN Sung by Assembly:                                                                 for it is the king’s sanctuary and a royal temple.”
 New Songs of Celebration                                        RENEDEZ À DIEU      Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet,
  New songs of celebration render                                                      nor have I belonged to a company of prophets;
     To God who has great wonders done;                                              I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores.
  Love sits enthroned in ageless splendor;                                             The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me,
     Come and adore the Mighty One.                                                    Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”

  All things that live in earth and ocean,

  “Off with you, visionary, flee to the land of Judah!                                “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave.
 There earn your bread by prophesying,                                                Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,
leave there and shake the dust off your feet

 So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out
 many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and
 cured them.                                                    MEMORIAL ACCLAMATIION Assembly:                                                                                                                         Roman Missal
