Introductory Rites

Entrance Hymn: All are Welcome
                     1.   Let us build a house where love can dwell
                                     And all can safely live,
                            A place where saints and children tell
                                 How hearts learn to forgive.
                           Built of hopes and dreams and visions,
                               Rock of faith and vault of grace;
                          Here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
                              All are welcome, all are welcome,
                                 all are welcome in this place.

                 2.       Let us build a house where prophets speak,
                                And words are strong and true,
                            Where all God's children dare to seek
                                 To dream God's reign anew.
                              Here the cross shall stand as witness
                                 And as symbol of God's grace;
                           Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
                                       All are welcome...
Penitential Act

                  I confess to almighty God
             and to you, my brothers and sisters,
                  that I have greatly sinned,
              in my thoughts and in my words,
     in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
            through my fault, through my fault,
              through my most grievous fault;
          therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
                  all the Angels and Saints,
              and you, my brothers and sisters,
             to pray for me to the Lord our God.

                           -or-

  … Lord, have mercy              R: Lord, have mercy
… Christ, have mercy               R:Christ Have Mercy
  … Lord, have mercy              R: Lord, have mercy
Gloria
                Glory to God in the highest,
          and on earth peace to people of good will.

                        We praise you,
                        we bless you,
                        we adore you,
                      we glorify you,
           we give you thanks for your great glory,
                 Lord God, heavenly King,
                   O God, almighty Father.

           Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
         Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
             you take away the sins of the world,
                      have mercy on us;
             you take away the sins of the world,
                      receive our prayer;
         you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
                       have mercy on us.

               For you alone are the Holy One,
                    you alone are the Lord,
                you alone are the Most High,
                          Jesus Christ,
                     with the Holy Spirit,
                in the glory of God the Father.
                             Amen.
Liturgy of the Word
 First Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7

 Thus says the Lord:                 and becoming his servants—
 Observe what is right, do           all who keep the sabbath free from
 what is just; for my salvation is   profanation
 about to come, my justice,          and hold to my covenant,
 about to be revealed.               them I will bring to my holy mountain
                                     and make joyful in my house of prayer;
 The foreigners who join             their burnt offerings and sacrifices
 themselves to the Lord,             will be acceptable on my altar,
 ministering to him,                 for my house shall be called
 loving the name of the Lord,        a house of prayer for all peoples.

Psalm:
Second Reading: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32

Brothers and sisters: I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to
the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save
some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will
their acceptance be but life from the dead?

For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God
but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now dis-
obeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now re-
ceive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon
all.
Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28

At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And be-
hold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have
pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a de-
mon.” But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesus’ disciples
came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after
us.” He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.” But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, “Lord,
help me.” He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the chil-
dren and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Please, Lord, for even the
dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus
said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for
you as you wish.” And the woman’s daughter was healed from that
hour.
Homily

Profession of Faith

   I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
   of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the
   Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God
   from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not
   made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were
   made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
   and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became
   man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered
   death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance
   with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right
   hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and
   the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
   the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
   who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spo-
   ken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic
   Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look for-
   ward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
   Amen.

             name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

THE COMMUNION RITE
Lord’s Prayer

Sign of Peace

Lamb of God

  Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on
us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on
us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
The communion procession will form by way of one, single-file line in each
 aisle. When coming forward, all must wear a mask and maintain 6ft distancing.
  For safety reasons, we ask that people receive on the hand, step aside, remove
 mask and consume host. Then put mask back on until back in pew. Those not
  receiving communion are to remain in pew. Please keep your hand flat when
   receiving the Eucharist to avoid contact with the minister. It is possible the
               priest or the ministers will need to sanitize our hands
                             in between communicants.

Communion Hymn: There is a Balm

                                  There is a balm in Gilead
                                To make the wounded whole,
                                  There is a balm in Gilead
                                  To heal the sin-sick soul.

                           1.       Sometimes I feel discouraged
                                    And think my work's in vain,
                                      But then the Holy Spirit
                                      Revives my soul again.

                                      There is a balm...

                          2.       If you cannot preach like Peter,
                                     If you cannot pray like Paul,
                                    You can tell the love of Jesus,
                                       And say, 'He died for all!'

                                      There is a balm...

                           3.       Don't ever feel discouraged,
                                     For Jesus is your friend;
                                   And if you lack for knowledge
                                     He'll ne'er refuse to lend.
Recessional Hymn:

                               1.       In Christ there is no east or west,
                                           In him no south or north,
                                      But one great fam'ly bound by love
                                      Throughout the whole wide earth.

                               2.      In him shall true hearts ev'rywhere
                                           Their high communion find;
                                           His service is the golden cord
                                            Close binding humankind.

                                3.    Join hands, disciples in the faith,
                                        Whate'er your race may be!
                                     Who serve each other in Christ's love
                                                 Are surely kin to me.

                          4.         In Christ now meet both east and west,
                                         In him meet south and north,
                                        All Christly souls are one in him
                                       Throughout the whole wide earth.
