21^st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sacred Heart Parish, Oakland

August 23, 2020, 10 am Mass

 

Mass Readings:

• First Reading:  Isaiah 22:19-23 (121A)

Thus says the Lord to Shebna, master of the palace: “I will thrust you from your office and pull you down from your station.  On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority.  He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the key of the House of David on Eliakim’s shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open.  I will fix him like a peg in a sure spot, to be a place of honor for his family.”

 

• Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 138:1-2, 2-3, 6, 8 (121)

 

Lord, Your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of Your hands.

 

I will give thanks to You, O Lord, with all my heart, for You have heard the words of my mouth; In the presence of the angels I will sing Your praise; I will worship at Your holy temple.

 

I will give thanks to Your name, because of Your kindness and Your truth; when I called, You answered me; You built up strength within me.

 

The Lord is exalted, yet the lowly He sees; and the proud He knows from afar.  Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever; forsake not the work of Your hands.

 

• Second Reading:  Romans 11:33-36

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!  How inscrutable are His judgments and how unsearchable His ways!  For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been His counselor?  Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid?  For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things.  To Him be glory forever.  Amen.

 

• Gospel Acclamation: 

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!  You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.  Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

 

• Gospel:  Matthew 16:13-20

Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.  For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.  And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.  I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.  Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”  Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

 

Songs For the Mass:

 

• Entrance:  City of God (Schutte), MI 385

Awake from your slumber!  Arise from your sleep!  A new day is dawning for all those who weep.  The people in darkness have seen a great light.  The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

 

Let us build the city of God.  May our tears be turned into dancing!  For the Lord, our light and our love, has turned the night into day!

 

We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day.  The One who has loved us has brightened our way.  The Lord of all kindness has called us to be a light for his people to set their hearts free.

 

• Preparation of the Gifts:  The Eyes and Hands of Christ (Kendzia), MI 520

Where two or three are gathered in my name, love will be found, life will abound.  By name we are called, from water we are sent:  to become the eyes and hands of Christ.

 

One in the Spirit, one in the Lord, one in the breaking of the bread.  Lifegiving witness of our dying and new life.  Held by the promise in our hands.

 

Not what we are, but what we become.  Not what we say, but what we do.  Living the challenge as bearers of light.  We are the eyes and hands of Christ.

 

• Communion:  We Are Many Parts (Haugen), MI 584

We are many parts, we are all one body, and the gifts we have we are given to share.  May the Spirit of love make us one indeed; one, the love that we share, one, our hope in despair, one, the cross that we bear.

 

God of all, we look to you, we would be your servants true, let us be the love to all the world.

 

All you seekers great and small, seek the greatest gift of all; if you love, then you will know the Lord.

 

• Sending Forth:  Lead Me, Lord (Becker), MI 726

Blessed are the poor in spirit, longing for their Lord, for God’s coming kingdom shall be theirs.  Blessed are the sorrowing, for they shall be consoled, and the meek shall come to rule the world.

 

Lead me, Lord; lead me, Lord, by the light of truth to seek and to find the narrow way.  Be my way, be my truth; be my life, my Lord, and lead me, Lord, today.

 

Blest are they who through their lifetimes sow the seeds of peace, all will call them children of the Lord.  Blest are you, though persecuted in your holy life, for in heaven great is your reward.
