Alleluia it's a sign of love Alleluia it's a sign of peace
Alleluia it's the mystery of faith Alleluia Amen
Take the body and the blood of Christ
In divine revelation of His love
Be transformed Oh my people from your

And will come again to rule all the world
The saints who sleep in Christ shall rise
Rejoice O Zion and be glad
Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God

Come you faithful to the paradise of God
To the marriage feast of the Lamb
Eat manna from the tree of life

IV. LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading: Isaiah 42: 1-9 Jeanne Garcia
“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold;
My chosen one in whom My soul delights.
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the nations.
He will not cry out nor raise His voice,
Nor make His voice heard in the street.
A bent reed He will not break off
And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish;
He will faithfully bring forth justice.
He will not be disheartened or crushed
Until He has established justice on the earth;
And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law.”
This is what God the Lord says,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it:7 “I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison. I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to idols. Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they sprout I proclaim them to you.” The word of the Lord ALL: Thanks be to God Responsorial Psalm110: Nancy A. Soto/Alvin M. A. Milligan “You are a Priest Forever, in the line of Melchizedek” Second Reading Hebrews 5:1-10 Shanda Cebedo Porque todo sumo sacerdote tomado de entre los hombres es constituido a favor de los hombres en las cosas que a Dios se refieren, para presentar ofrendas y sacrificios por los pecados. Puede obrar con benignidad para con los ignorantes y extraviados, puesto que él mismo está sujeto a flaquezas. Por esa causa está obligado a ofrecer sacrificios por los pecados, tanto por sí mismo como por el pueblo. Nadie toma este honor para sí mismo, sino que lo recibe cuando es llamado por Dios, así como lo fue Aarón. De la misma manera, Cristo no se glorificó a Él mismo para hacerse Sumo Sacerdote, sino que lo glorificó el que le dijo: Hijo Mío eres Tú, Yo te he engendrado Hoy como también dice en otro pasaje: Tú eres sacerdote para siempre Según el orden de Melquisedec. Cristo, en los días de Su carne, habiendo ofrecido oraciones y súplicas con gran clamor y lágrimas al que lo podía librar de la muerte, fue oído a causa de Su temor reverente. Aunque era Hijo, aprendió obediencia por lo que padeció; y habiendo sido hecho perfecto, vino a ser fuente de eterna salvación para todos los que le obedecen, siendo constituido por Dios como sumo sacerdote según el orden de Melquisedec. Palabra de Dios ALL: Te alabamos, Señor.
8 Gospel Acclamation/Alleluia: God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every- one who believes in him may have eternal life. Gospel: Tony Murray A Reading from the holy Gospel according to John ALL: Glory to you o Lord John 10: 11-18 “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock. He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd. For this reason, the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it back. This commandment I received from My Father.” Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ Homily: Bishop Jerome Feudjio Credo: I believe in one God... Prayers of the Faithful: Deacon David Capriola

VI. LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
Offertory Hymn: Pescador de Hombres
(St. Joseph Spanish Community)
Tú Has venido a la orilla
No has buscado a sabios ni a ricos
Tan solo quieres que yo te siga
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos
Sonriendo has dicho mi nombre
En la arena he dejado mi barca
Junto a ti buscaré otro mar
Tú Sabes bien lo que tengo
En mi barca no hay oro ni espadas
Tan solo redes y mi trabajo
Tú Necesitas mis manos
Mi cansancio que a otros descanse
Amor que quiera seguir amando
Tú Pescador de otros mares
Ansia entera de almas que esperan
Amigo bueno que así me llamas
Sanctus: composed by Erwin Jackie
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed, Blessed is he comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.
Memorial Acclamation: composed by D Allison L. Wallace

Communion Hymns: (Filipino Catholic Community Church Choir)

“Take and Receive”
Meditation: Christ be our Light
Longing for light we wait in darkness
Longing for truth we turn to you
Make us your own your holy people
Light for the world to see
Christ be our light shine in our hearts
Shine through the darkness Christ be our light
Shine in your church gathered today
Longing for peace our world is troubled
Longing for hope many despair
Your word alone has pow'r to save us
Make us your living voice
Longing for food many are hungry
Longing for water many still thirst
Make us your bread broken for others
Shared until all are fed11
Longing for shelter many are homeless
Longing for warmth many are cold
Make us your building sheltering others
Walls made of living stone
Many the gifts many the people
many the hearts that yearn to belong
Let us be servants to one another
Making your kingdom come
