Worship Aid for The Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 18, 2020

Opening Hymn: All the ends of the earth

(Refrain) All the ends of the earth, all you creatures of the sea, lift up your eyes to the wonders of the Lord. For the Lord of the earth, the master of the sea, has come with justice for the world. Break into song at the deeds of the Lord, the wonders God has done in every age. (Refrain)

Gloria

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the

world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most

High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Responsorial Hymn Response (Spoken): Give the Lord Glory and Honor.

Gospel Acclamation (Sung): “Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia”

Homily

Creed (spoken)

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made consubstantial with the Father; through him all things

were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will

have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the

resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayers of the Faithful Response (Spoken): Lord, Hear our prayer

Offertory (Silent Prayer)/Mass Parts (Spoken)

Communion Hymn: Hold onto love

There is a place for the sadness, Hold on to Love. There is a season of gladness. Hold on to Love. (Refrain) Hold on to Love, where hope is found. Hold on to Love, where joy abounds. Hold on to Love, where grace and mercy’s overflowing. Hold on to Love. When pain and confusion seem endless, hold on to Love. We cultivate healing through kindness. Hold on to Love. (Refrain)

Closing Prayer

CLOSING SONG: Glory and Praise to our God

(Refrain) Glory and praise to our God, who alone gives light to our days. Many are the blessings he bears to those who trust in his ways. We, the daughters and sons of him who build the valleys and plains, praise the wonders our God has done in ev’ry heart that sings. (Refrain)
