23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

 

Entrance Antiphon

Cantor: You are righteous, O Lord, and right is  your  judgment;     

deal with this servant of yours according to  your  mercy.    

(Vs. Blessed are those whose way is blameless,  who  walk  in    the  law  of  the  Lord.  

All: Glory be to the Father, and  to    the Son,   and  to  the  Holy  Spirit.  As it was in the  

beginning, is now, and ever shall  be,   world  without  end.  A- men.  

 

Psalm Response: “If today you hear his voice, harden not your heart.”

 

Communion Antiphon

Make  vows  unto  the  Lord  your  God,  and  accomplish  them,   all  you  who    gather  around  him  to  present  offerings;  to  the  awesome  God  who    takes  away  the  life  of  princes;   he  is  greatly  feared  by  all  the  kings  of    the  earth.

 

Communion

Set your heart on the higher gifts, 

on the things that come from your Maker in heaven. 

These three gifts are all that remain: 

faith, hope and love, 

and the greatest is love.

 

1.     If I speak with the tongues of the living, 

        and of angels, but speak without love, 

        I am only brass without song, 

        an empty noise on the wind.

 

2.     And if I understand ev’ry myst’ry, 

        having wisdom, but think without love, 

        had I faith to scatter the hills, 

        I am nothing at all.

 

3.     And if I should renounce all my riches, 

        feed the hungry, give over my life; 

        without love my profit is loss, 

        my caring finds no reward.
