ENTRY You alone are holy and you alone are Lord and you alone are the most high Jesus Christ our Lord

Penitential Rite: Russian Kyrie

THE WORD Matthew is called the teaching gospel. Each Sunday until Lent we are listening to the “Sermon on the Mount”

OLD TESTAMENT ISAIAH , 15 God will not forget us

PSALM 62 O God you are my God alone Who eagerly I seek Though longing fills my soul with thirst And leaves my body weak Just like a dry and barren land Awaits a freshening shower I long within your house to see your glory And your power. Your faithful love surpasses life Evoking all my praise Through every day to bless your name My hands in joy I’ll raise My deepest needs you satisfy As with a sumptious feast So on my lips and in my heart Your praise has never ceased.

Throughout the night I lie in bed And call you Lord to mind In darkest hours I meditate How God my strength is kind Beneath the shadow of your wing I live and feel secure And daily as I follow close Your right hand keeps me sure

EPISTLE First Corinthians We are servants of God

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia Deacon sings verse Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

GOSPEL MATTHEW – 34 It is impossible to love God and money

Mount of the Beatitudes overlooking Sea of Galilee

Creed We believe in one God the Father the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen & unseen (pause) We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again 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 (pause) We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life who proceeds from the Father & the Son. With the Father & the Son he is worshipped & glorified. He has spoken thro the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic & apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sin. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead & the life of the world to come

Each prayer ends: Lord in your mercy: hear our prayer Please note: those absent from us (sick, dead etc) are remembered during the MEMENTO in the Eucharistic Prayer.

Communion Procession from today’s first reading I will never forget you my people I have carved you on the palm of my hand I will never forget you I will not leave you orphaned I will never forget my own. Does a mother forget her baby Or a woman the child in her womb? Yet even if these forget, yes even if these forget, I will never forget my own
