Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Entrance Antiphon
Cantor: Behold, O God
our protector, and consider the face of your Anointed;
For one day in your
house is better than a thousand elsewhere.
All: Glory be to the
Father…
Psalm Response: O God, O
God, Let all the nations praise You!
Communion Antiphon
My house will be called
a house of prayer, says the Lord;
everyone who asks here, will receive,
and he who seeks, will find, and
to him who knocks, it will be opened.
Communion
1. All who hunger, gather gladly;
Holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and
wand'ring.
Here, in truth, we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness,
All around us is our food.
Refrain
Taste and see the grace
eternal.
Taste and see that God
is good.
Taste and see the grace
eternal.
Taste and see that God
is good.
2. All who hunger, never strangers,
Seeker, be a welcome guest.
Come from restlessness and roaming.
Here, in joy, we keep the feast.
We that once were lost and scattered
In communion's love have stood.
3. All who hunger, sing together;
Jesus Christ is living bread.
Come from loneliness and longing.
Here, in peace, we have been led.
Blest are those who from this table
Live their lives in gratitude.

ABOUT ADORATION
Our numbers at Adoration
are not what they were pre-pandemic. That is understandable. But we are
noticing there are some hours when no one is in church, and that cannot be when
the Eucharist is exposed. Also, some nights, there are just 2, 3 or 4 people
for Benediction. Before we make any changes, we want to make sure that everyone
knows about this wonderful opportunity to pray before the exposed Blessed
Sacrament on Monday to Friday beginning at 4:00 pm in Church. We end with Benediction
on M-W-F at 7:50pm and on Tu-Th at 7:40 pm. Come and experience this special
quiet time for prayer. Would you consider covering one hour each week? Email
Deacon Chris at cmerenda@frontiernet.net.
ABOUT DAILY MASS
After Labor Day, morning
Mass on Monday, Wednesday and Friday will return to church at 7:00 am. School
will begin, and the parking lot will be needed. The question remains about
Tuesday and Thursday. Right now, it is at 7:00 pm outdoors. Is there a need to
keep these two Masses at 7:00 pm? (Note-they would have to be in church as
daylight gets shorter). Or do we go back at all 7:00 am? For those who have
been coming to 7:00 pm – is it important to you that we keep these 7pm Mass
times during the pandemic? Is this the one Mass you are going to each week? Or
can you adjust to 7am? Please leave a comment for us on Flocknotes or write rectory@stcolumbaonline.org. Thanks!
