Gathering | Pagaalaala

Bayan muling magtipon, awitan ang Panginoon
Sa piging sariwain, pagliligtas Niya sa atin

Bayan ating alalahanin, panahong tayo’y inalipin
Nang ngalan Niya’y ating sambitin
Paanong ‘di tayo lingapin

Bayan muling magtipon, awitan ang Panginoon
Sa piging sariwain, pagliligtas niya sa atin

Bayan, walang sawang purihin
Ang Poon nating mahabagin
Bayan, isayaw ang damdamin
Kandili Niya’y ating awitin

Bayan muling magtipon, awitan ang Panginoon
Sa piging sariwain, pagliligtas Niya sa atin
Sa piging sariwain, pagliligtas Niya sa atin

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 146 Praise the Lord, My Soul

Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise the Lord, my soul!

R./ Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise the Lord, my soul!


Blessed is he who keeps faith forever,
secures justice for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets captives free.

R./ Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise the Lord, my soul!

The LORD gives sight to the blind;
the LORD raises up those who were bowed down.
The LORD loves the just;
the LORD protects strangers.

R./ Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise the Lord, my soul!

The fatherless and the widow he sustains,
but the way of the wicked he thwarts.
The LORD shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion, through all generations. Alleluia.

R./ Praise the Lord, my soul!
Praise the Lord, my soul!

Preparation of the Gifts | Sanlibong Buhay

Sanlibo man aking buhay,
bawat isa’y iaalay
sa Diyos at bayan kong mahal,
‘sasanggalang inyong dangal.

Isugo Mo kahit saan,
hamakin man ako’t saktan.
Dalangin ko’y maging tapat.
Pag-ibig Mo ay sasapat.

Sanlibo man aking buhay,
sanlibo ring iaalay.
Sanlibo kong kamatayan,
sa palad Mo ilalaan.

Amen from WYD ’95

Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen, amen

Communion | Ang Katawan Ni Kristo

In the presence of our God
as we gather here in Christ
feel the Spirit breathe upon us
the breathe of life, graced and divine

We have come to break the bread
We have come to share our lives
Let us bring these fruits to the table
the love of God, yours and mine

Ang Katawan ni Kristo
Ang Katawan ni Kristo

Behold, the Body of Christ
Jesus, our Savior and Life
Rejoice, O People of God
We are the body of Christ

Is not the meal that we bless and share
a communion in the life of Christ
One bread, one blessing, one cup
make us one body in our Lord

In the presence of our God
by the justice that is shown
we will build a kingdom together
the love of Christ, given to all

Ang Katawan ni Kristo
Ang Katawan ni Kristo

Behold, the Body of Christ
Jesus, our Savior and Life
Rejoice, O People of God
We are the body of Christ

Ang Katawan ni Kristo
Ang Katawan ni Kristo

Behold, the Body of Christ
Jesus, our Savior and Life
Rejoice, O People of God
We are the body of Christ
We are the body of Christ
We are the body of Christ

Reflection | Song of St. Lorenzo (Male cantor solo)

This simple fam’ly man who feared our God
in Mary’s mantle, he found warmth and perched
whom friars trusted; all his work unflawed
his whole life, thus toiled to serve his church

This man’s utter gift in calligraphy
beheld its beauty in the gentlest stroke
his skills so flourished in fluidity
his art lfited and formed as if he spoke

And then of twisted faith, his life but changed
in gloom the passage way to freedom doomed
Christians dimmed of life by pagans deranged
their sweet death for Christ from Shoguns who ruled

And if I had a thousand lives he said,
“To God I offer them until the end”
And if I had a thousand lives he said,
“To God I offer them until the end”
