COMMUNION HYMN: To Be Your Bread Refrain: To be your bread now, be your wine now,Lord, come and change us. To be a sign of your love.Blest and broken, poured and flowing, gift that you gave us, to be your body once again.

1.We come to your table with our lives as they are.Heal us Lord, for we are broken; make us one again.

2.Lord, we stumble through the darkness of night.Lead us, now, O Lord, we follow; bring us home to you.

3.Give us the bread and wine that bring us to life.Feed us, and we'll never hunger, never thirst again.

RECESSIONAL HYMN The Summons

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?Will you let my love be shown? Will you let my name be known?Will you let my life be grown in you, and you in me?

Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.In your company I'll go, where your love and footsteps show,thus I'll move and live and grow in you, and you in me.

For this month of All Souls, we pray this famous prayer of St. Gertrude for those in purgatory. “Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen”.

ENTRANCE HYMN: Gather Your PeopleRefrain: Gather your people, O Lord. Gather your people, O Lord.One bread, one body, one spirit of love. Gather your people, O Lord.

1. Draw us forth to the table of life: brothers and sisters, each of us called to walk in your light.

2. We are parts of the body of Christ, needing each other, each of the gifts the Spirit provides.

FIRST READING PRV 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31A Reading from the book of ProverbsWhen one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. She obtains wool and flax and works with loving hands. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her fingers ply the spindle. She reaches out her hands to the poor and extends her arms to the needy. Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her a reward for her labors, and let her works praise her at the city gates.The Word of the Lord

RESPONSORIAL PSALM from Psalm 128R: Blessed are those who fear the Lord.

Blessed are you who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways!For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork;blessed shall you be, and favored.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the recesses of your home;Your children like olive plants around your table.

Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.The LORD bless you from Zion: may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

SECOND READING 1 Thes: 5: 1-6 A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the ThessaloniansConcerning times and seasons, brothers and sisters,you have no need for anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will comelike a thief at night. When people are saying, "Peace and security,"then sudden disaster comes upon them,like labor pains upon a pregnant woman,and they will not escape.But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness,for that day to overtake you like a thief. For all of you are children of the lightand children of the day.We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do,but let us stay alert and sober..The Word of the Lord

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia!Remain in me as I remain in you, says the Lord.

Whoever remains in me bears much fruit.READING OF THE HOLY GOSPEL MT 22: 34-40Jesus told his disciples this parable: "A man going on a journeycalled in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one--to each according to his ability. Then he went away.Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master's money."After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.’

OFFERTORY HYMN: We Are Many Parts We are many parts We are all one body.And the gifts we have, We are given to share.May the spirit of love, make us one indeed;One, the Love that we share; One, our hope in despair;One, the cross that we bear.

God of all, we look to you, We would be your servants true,Let us be your love for all the world

So my pain is your pain too. In your joy, is my joy too,All is brought together in the Lord.

All you seekers great and small. Seek the greatest gift of all,If you love, then you will know the Lord.
