The Blessed Virgin Mary, Health of the Sick

Entrance Hymn

Daniel L Schutte SJ

Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep! A new day is dawning for all those who weep. The people in darkness have seen a great light. The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Let us build the city of God. May our tears be turned into dancing! For the Lord, our light and our Love, has turned the night into day!

We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day. The One who has loved us has brightened our way. The Lord of all kindness has called us to be a light for his people to set their hearts free.

God is light; in him there is no darkness. Let us walk in his light, his children, one and all.

O comfort my people; make gentle your words. Proclaim to my city the day of her birth.

O city of gladness, now lift up your voice! Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!

During the Anointing

Carey Landry

Lay your hands gently upon us, let their touch render your peace; let them bring your forgiveness and healing, lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

You were sent to free the broken hearted. You were sent to give sight to the blind. You desire to heal all our illness. Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

Lord, we come to you through one another. Lord, we come to you in all our need. Lord, we come to you seeking wholeness. Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

Lord, here I am to answer your call, Lord, here I am to serve and love you. I have left everything just to follow you. Here is my heart, here is my mind; Here is my soul, here is my whole self. I am for you and you alone.

Agnus Dei Spoken

Holy Communion

Joanne Boyce & Mike Stanley

Bread of life, truth eternal, Broken now to set us free. The risen Christ, his saving power, is here in Bread and Wine for me.

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you. You speak the words and I am healed. Here at your table, love’s mystery: one bread, one cup, one family.

Lord by your cross, you reconciled us to the Father. We have only to believe. Your sacrifice, our victory, now by your blood we are redeemed.

Lord, you gave your people manna in the desert, still you fulfil our every need. Lord when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst, we come to you and we receive…………… (the)

Recessional Hymn

translated Mary Byrne (1881-1931), versified by Eleanor Hull (1860-1935), and others, adapted Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, naught be all else to me save that thou art; thou my best thought in the day and night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true Word; I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord; thou my great Father, and I thy true son; thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

Be thou my breast-plate, my sword for the fight; be thou my armour, and be thou my might, thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tower, raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, thou mine inheritance through all my days; thou, and thou only, the first in my heart, high King of heaven, my treasure thou art!

High King of heaven, when battle is done, grant heaven’s joy to me, O bright heaven’s sun; Christ of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
