Liturgy for March 8, 2026 | Third Sunday of Lent

Gathering | We Gather In Love

We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God
We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one

United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We gather in love

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 95 If Today You Hear His Voice

If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert,
Where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works.”

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Lenten Gospel Acclamation from Mass of Creation

R./ Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ
King of endless glory


Lord, you are truly the Savior of the world;
give me living water, that I may never thirst again.

Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ
King of endless glory

Preparation of the Gifts | Renew

Our Father, Maker of the heavens and the earth,
Author of the universe who imagined us,
God All-Seeing: into our humanity come;
let your kingdom be with us,
oh, let your will be done.

Lord Jesus, Son of God who sits at his right hand,
Perfect Love that became man sacrificed for us,
Pure Redeemer: into our iniquity come;
let forgiveness sweetly fall,
have mercy on us all.

Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you, Lord, renew.

Holy Spirit, Gift of risen hope, abiding peace,
Comforter who intercedes, carries ev’ry prayer,
Moving Presence, Living Breath of living God: come,
stir the passion in our hearts;
breathe new life into us.

Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you, Lord, renew.
Lord, renew, Lord renew.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
