Second Reading Romans 8: 14-17 Proclaimed in Spanish Amaya Rodriguez-Agiss ’24

Brothers and Sisters:

For those who are led by the Spirt of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

Gloria

Lector: The word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

Gospel

Matthew 28: 16-20

Fr. Michael T. White, CSSp

Homily Msgr. Dillabough

Profession of Faith

All: 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 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.

The Goodness of God

I love You, Lord, for Your mercy never fails me. All my days I’ve been held in Your hands. From the moment that I wake up, until I lay my head, oh, I will sing of the goodness of God. ‘Cause all my life You have been faithful, and all my life You have been so, so good. With ev’ry breath that I am able, oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.

I love Your voice. You have lead me through the fire. In the darkest nights, You are close like no other. I’ve known You as a Father, I’ve known You as a Friend, and I have lived in the goodness of God.

Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me. Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me. With my life laid down, I surrender now, I give You ev’rything, oh Lord. Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me.

And all my life You have been faithful, and all my life You have been so so good. With ev’ry breath that I am able, oh, I will sing of the goodness of God. I will sing. All my life You have been faithful, all my life You have been so so good. Ev’ry breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God. I will sing of the goodness of God. I will sing of the goodness of God.
