23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sacred Heart Parish, Oakland

September 6, 2020, 10 am Virtual Mass

 

Mass Readings:

• First Reading:  Ezekiel 33:7-9

Thus says the Lord:  You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me.  If I tell the wicked, “O wicked one, you shall surely die,” and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death.  But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself.

• Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9

 

If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

 

Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.  Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him.

 

Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the Lord who made us.  For he is our God, and we are his people he shepherds, the flock he guides.

 

Oh, that today you would hear his voice:  “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me through they had seen my works.”

 

• Second Reading:  Romans 13:8-10

Brothers and sisters:  Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.  The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.

• Gospel Acclamation: 

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!  God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

 

• Gospel:  Matthew 18:15-20

Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.  If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.  If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.  If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.  Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.  Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

 

Songs for the Mass:

 

• Entrance:  Here At This Table (J Whitaker/M Whitaker), MI 313

Come and be filled here at this table.  Food for all who hunger and drink for all who thirst.  Drink of his love, wine of salvation.  You shall live forever, in Jesus Christ the Lord.

You who labor for justice, you who labor for peace, you who steady the plow in the field of the Lord.

You, with lives full of pain, you who sorrow and weep, you, beloved of Christ, come to him, come to him!

 

• Preparation of the Gifts:  As the Deer (B Farrell)

 

As the deer yearns for water, so have I longed for you, only in you, the living God, resting my whole life through.

Thirsting for you, my God.  Knowing your truth within me.  When can I see you as you are, God of my life?

Tears have become my bread, tears every night and morning.  Questioning voices all day long:  where is your God?

 

• Communion:  Love One Another (B Dufford), MI 474

Love one another as I have loved you.  Care for each other.  I have cared for you.  Bear each other’s burdens.  Bind each other’s wounds; and so you will know my return.

My friends, do you know what I have done for you?  I have washed your feet with my hands.  If I, your Lord, have knelt at your feet, you should do at each other’s feet as I have done for you.

When the world will hate you and revile you, when they laugh at your care for the poor, when they hold you in darkness and imprison your tongues, remember how they listened to me.

 

• Sending Forth:  For the Fruits of This Creation (AR HYD Y NOS), MI 426

For the fruits of this creation, Thanks be to God; For the goods of every nation, Thanks be to God; For the plowing, sowing, reaping, Silent growth while we are sleeping, Future needs in earth’s safekeeping, Thanks be to God.

In the just reward of labor, God’s will be done; In the help we give our neighbor, God’s will be done; In the worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, In the harvests we are sharing, God’s will be done.
