Gathering | Take Up Your Cross
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
and follow me
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
Take up your cross

Whoever wishes to come after me
must deny himself
Whoever wishes to come after me
must take up his cross
and follow me

Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it
Whoever loses his life for My sake will find it
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
and follow me
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
Take up your cross
and follow me
Responsorial Psalm
R./ The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
R./ The Lord is my light and my salvation.
One thing I ask of the LORD; this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
and contemplate his temple.
R./ The Lord is my light and my salvation.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
R./ The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Communion | I Am the Bread of Life (Come and Follow Me)
I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me
I am bread for the world
hope for the hopeless
Come to me, and know that I’ll always be there
with my arms open wide
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me
I give my heart to those in sorrow
I come to those who are in need
hope for today and for tomorrow

Closing | With One Voice
Take the Word and go out to every land
Shine the light of Christ for all to see
May the lives of those we touch
Sing praise to God above
Let us sing; we’ll sing
With one voice, we’ll pass the Word along
With one voice, bring justice to the world
And with all the angels, we’ll spread the goodness of God
With all power and glory, the Word of God shall reign…shall reign…shall reign
