Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

 

Entrance Antiphon

Cantor: At  the  name  of  the  Lord  let  eve-  ry  knee  bend,   in  heav-  en,  on    earth  and  un-  der  the  earth;  for  the  Lord  be-  came  o-  be-  dient  un-  to    death,   e-  ven  death  on  the  Cross;  that  is  why  Je-  sus  Christ  is    the  Lord,   to  the  glo-  ry  of  God  the  Fa-  ther. 

( Vs. O  Lord,  hear  my    prayer,   and  let  my  cry  come  un-  to  you.) 

Assembly:  Glo-  ry  be  to  the    Fa-  ther,  and  to  the  Son,   and  to  the  Ho-  ly  Spir-  it.  As  it  was  in  the    be-  gin-  ning,   is  now,  and  ev-  er  shall  be,   world  with-  out  end.  A-  men. 

 Psalm Response: Remember your mercies, O Lord.

 Offertory Antiphon: Upon  the  rivers  of  Babylon,  there  we  sat  down  and  we  wept,   as  we    remembered  you,  O  Zion.

 Communion Antiphon: Be  mindful  of  your  word  to  your  servant,  O  Lord,    in  which  you    caused  me  to  hope;   this  has  been  my  comfort  in  my  affliction.

 Communion Hymn:

 

1.      O breathe on me, O Breath of God,

          Fill me with life anew,

          That I may love the things you love,

          And do what you would do.

 

2.      O breathe on me, O Breath of God,

          Until my heart is pure; 

          Until my will is one with yours,

          To do and to endure.

 

3.      O breathe on me, O Breath of God,

          My will to yours incline, 

          Until this selfish part of me

          Glows with your fire divine.

 

4.      O breathe on me, O Breath of God,

          So shall I never die,

          But live with you the perfect life

          Of your eternity.
