OPENING PRAYER

FIRST READING read by Name

Song of Solomon 2:8-10, 14, 16a; 8:6-7a

A reading from the Song of Songs.

The voice of my beloved!Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains,

bounding over the hills.My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.Look, there he stands behind our wall,

gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice.

My beloved speaks and says to me:“Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away;

O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

My beloved is mine and I am his.

Seal me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave.

Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame.Many waters cannot quench love, nor can

floods drown it.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM read by Name

Psalm 128

Response: Indeed thus shall be blessed the man who fears the Lord.

Happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.

You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you. R

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. R

Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

The Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life. R

SECOND READING read by Name

1 John 4:7-12

A reading from the first letter of John.Beloved let us love one another, because

love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

God’s love was revealed among us in this way:

God sent his only son into the world so that we might live through him.

In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Beloved, since God loved us so much, we ought also to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; if we love one another,

God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

OFFERTORY SONG:“Above All”

Above all powers, above all kingsAbove all nature and all created thingsAbove all wisdom and all the ways of manYou were here before the world beganAbove all kingdoms, above all thronesAbove all wonders the world has ever knownAbove all wealth and treasures of the earthThere’s no way to measure what you’re worth

COMMUNION

*ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WISH TO RECEIVE COMMUNION BUT WOULD LIKE TO GO UP TO RECEIVE A BLESSING CAN

CROSS THEIR ARMS OVER THEIR CHEST BY TOUCHING THEIR HANDS TO THEIR OPPOSITE SHOULDERS FORMING AN X

AND RECEIVE A BLESSING FROM THE PRIEST.*

COMMUNION SONG:“How Deep the Father’s Love for Us”

How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure.

That he should give his on - ly Son, to make a wretch his treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss, the father turns his face away.

As wounds which mar the Cho - sen One, bring many sons to glo - ry.

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders.

Ashamed to hear my mocking voice, call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held him there, until it was accomplished.

His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in a - ny - thing, no gifts no power no wisdom.

But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from his re - ward, I cannot give an answer.

But this I know with all my heart, his wounds have paid my ransom.

RECESSIONAL SONG:“Companions on the Journey”

CHORUS:We are companions on the jour - ney,Breaking bread and sharing life;And in the love we bear is the hope we shareFor we believe in the love of our God,We believe in the love of our God.

No longer strangers to each other,No longer strangers in God’s House;We are fed and we are nourishedBy the strength of those who care,By the strength of those who care.

We have been gifted with each other,And we are called by the Word of the Lord:To act with justice, to love tenderly,And to walk humbly with our God,To walk humbly with our God.

We will seek and we shall find;We will knock and the door will be opened;We will ask and it shall be given,For we believe in the love of our God,We believe in the love of our God.
