A Reading from the
Holy Gospel according to St. Luke
Glory to you, O’ Lord
This is the gospel of

7.  The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
“Suppose one of you has a servant ploughing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

8. Alleluia, Alleluia

9. I wonder what you heard in the Gospel today.
What did the apostles want Jesus to do?
How did Jesus help the disciples to
understand what having faith
in God means?
What do you think Jesus means when He says having faith in God will help us when we are unsure or need guidance?

10. We know that everything is possible with faith and God’s help,
The response is sung, Lord hear our prayer.
We pray for all who hold and teach the Christian faith;
may it be firmly rooted in our hearts and lives
Lord hear our prayer.
We pray for an end to hatred and fear in our world.
May we work together to share the gift of Christ’s peace
We pray for the sick, the poor and the hungry and all who are in pain;
may their faith in God’s love bring them comfort and healing.

11. I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright,
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Chorus:  Here I am, Lord – is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them,
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my word to them.
Whom shall I send? Chorus
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them,
Finest bread I will provide,
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them. .

12. Knowing that our heavenly in the silence of our hearts let
Father is listening,
in the silence of our hearts let
us share our unspoken
prayers with Him.

13. Increase our faith and make our lives A perfect offering to you.
Let us say this prayer together
Loving Father
Increase our faith and make our lives
A perfect offering to you.
We make these and all our prayers
Through Jesus Christ
Your beloved Son
Amen
