TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME 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.

Collect O God, who have prepared for those who love

you

good things which no eye can see,

fill our hearts, we pray, with the warmth of your

love,

so that, loving you in all things

and above all things, we may attain your prom-

ises,

which surpass every human desire.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the

Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

First Reading (Jer 38:4-6.8-10)

A reading from the prophet Jeremiah.

The king’s leading men spoke to the king. “Let

Jeremiah be put to death: he is unquestionably

disheartening the remaining soldiers in the city,

and all the people too, by talking like this. The

fellow does not have the welfare of this people at

heart so much as its ruin.” “He is in your hands as

you know,” King Zedekiah answered, “for the king

is powerless against you.” So they took Jeremiah

and threw him into the well of Prince Malchiah in

the Court of the Guard, letting him down with

ropes. There was no water in the well, only mud,

and into the mud Jeremiah sank.

Ebed-melech came out from the palace and

spoke to the king. “My lord king,” he said “these

men have done a wicked thing by treating the

prophet Jeremiah like this: they have thrown him

into the well where he will die.” At this the king

gave Ebed-melech the Cushite the following or-

der: “Take three men with you from here and pull

the prophet Jeremiah out of the well before he

dies.”

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm R. Lord, come to my aid!

I waited, I waited for the Lord

and he stooped down to me;

he heard my cry. R

He drew me from the deadly pit,

from the miry clay.

He set my feet upon a rock

and made my footsteps firm. R

He put a new song into my mouth,

praise of our God.

Many shall see and fear

and shall trust in the Lord. R

As for me, wretched and poor,

the Lord thinks of me.

You are my rescuer, my help,

O God, do not delay. R

Second Reading (Heb 12:1-4)

A reading from the letter to the Hebrews.

With so many witnesses in a great cloud on every

side of us, we too, then, should throw off every-

thing that hinders us, especially the sin that clings

so easily, and keep running steadily in the race

we have started. Let us not lose sight of Jesus,

who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfec-

tion: for the sake of the joy which was still in the

future, he endured the cross, disregarding the

shamefulness of it, and from now on has taken his

place at the right of God¹s throne. Think of the

way he stood such opposition from sinners and

then you will not give up for want of courage. In

the fight against sin, you have not yet had to keep

fighting to the point of death.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia!

Open our heart, O Lord,

to accept the words of your Son

Alleluia!

Gospel A reading from the holy Gospel according to

Luke.

Jesus said to his disciples: “I have come to bring

fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing

already! There is a baptism I must still receive,

and how great is my distress till it is over! “Do you

suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth?

No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on

a household of five will be divided: three against

two and two against three; the father divided

against the son, son against father, mother

against daughter, daughter against mother,

mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, daughter-

in-law against mother-in-law.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Profession of Faith 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 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 Scrip-

tures. 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 proph-

ets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apos-

tolic 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

Hymns Give Me Joy

Give me joy in my heart, Keep me praising, Give me joy in my heart, I pray.

Give me joy in my heart, deep me praising. Keep me praising ‘till the break of day.

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna, Sing hosanna to the King of kings!

Sing hosanna, sing hosanna, Sing hosanna to the King.

Give me peace in my heart keep me resting …….

Give me love in my heart keep me serving ……….

I Am The Bread Of Life I am the bread of life.

He who comes to me shall not hunger He who believes in me shall not thirst

No one can come to me Unless the father draw him

And I will raise him up And I will raise him up

And I will raise him up on the last day.

The bread that I will give Is my flesh for the life of the world

And he who eats of this bread, He shall live forever He shall live forever.

How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder

Consider all The Works Thy Hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow’r throughout The universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my saviour God to Thee, How great Thou art! (x2)

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art! (x2)

How great Thou art!

Letter of thanks from Trócaire:

Dear Parishioners,

At a time when so many things seem wrong around the world,

kindness makes all the difference. The kindness of people like

you. The compassion shown in parishes like yours…

Thank you so much to you and your parishioners for your sup-

port of the Trócaire Lenten campaign this year. Your generous

spirit is helping girls like María from Guatemala, Patricia from

Uganda, and Maya living in a refugee camp in Lebanon, hold on

to hope and help to get them back on their feet.

You are the hope that heals a widow’s broken heart so

that her children can have enough food to eat from the land

her husband left her when he died ….

You are there to protect a vulnerable family like María’s from

having their land stolen by violent, corrupt companies. So that

generations of a family can grow up on the land they have

farmed…..

Your are the kindness that helps Maya and her family stay

strong through the trauma they have experienced by providing

a safe and supportive environment where they c an ease their

fear.

Thank you, to you and your parishioners for joining in

compassion with parishes across Ireland. Thank you for

holding María, Patricia and Maya in your heart this Lent

and helping love to conquer fear.

This good work would not be possible without you,

Caoimhe de Barra

CEO, Trócaire.
