One Bread, One Body--John Foley, SJ, ©1978, GIA

One bread, one body, one Lord of all,

one cup of blessing which we bless.

And we, though many, throughout the earth,

We are one body in this one Lord.

Gentile or Jew,

servant or free,

woman or man

no more.

One bread, one body, one Lord of all,

one cup of blessing which we bless.

And we, though many, throughout the earth,

We are one body in this one Lord.

Many the gifts,Many the

works,one in the Lord

of all.

One bread, one body, one Lord of all,

one cup of blessing which we bless.

And we, though many, throughout the earth,

We are one body in this one Lord.

Grain for the fields,scattered and grown,

gathered to one for all.

One bread, one body, one Lord of all,

one cup of blessing which we bless.

And we, though many, throughout the earth,

We are one body in this one Lord.

GOSPEL Luke 20:27-38 (p. 79NT)

The Sadducees, who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, try to trap Jesus. They ask him about the marital status of a resurrected woman who had been married to a succession of seven brothers.

The real issue, says Jesus, is not “Whose wife is she?” but rather “What is your relationship with God?”

Love divine, all loves excelling,Joy of heav'n, to earth come down!Fix in us thy humble dwelling,all thy faithful mercies crown.Jesus, thou art all compassion,pure, unbounded love thou art;visit us with thy salvation,enter ev'ry trembling heart.

Breathe, oh, breath thy loving Spiritinto ev'ry troubled breast;let us all in thee inherit;let us find thy promised rest.Take away the love of sinning;Alpha and Omega be;end of faith, as its beginning,set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty, to deliver;let us all thy life receive;suddenly return, and never,nevermore thy temples leave.Thee we would be always blessing,serve thee as thy hosts above,pray, and praise thee without ceasing,glory in thy perfect love.

Finish then thy new creation,pure and spotless let us be;let us see thy great salvationperfectly restored in thee!Changed from glory into glory,till in heav'n we take our place,till we cast our crowns before thee,lost in wonder, love, and praise.
