Prelude

This We Know

This we know.

The earth does not belong

to us;

we belong to the earth.

This we know.

all things are connected

like the blood that unites

one family.

All things are connected.

what e’er befalls the earth,

befalls the children of earth.

This we know.

We did not weave

the web of life,

we are merely a strand in it.

Whatever we do to the web,

we do to ourselves.

This we know.

Gloria

Psalm

For I will bless you

at all times,

and praise your name

through all my days.

The Lord is great beyond

all thought,

the Lord is worthy

of high praise.

The Lord is

merciful and kind,

so slow to anger

when we fall.

The Lord is good in

ev’ry way,

and is compassionate

to all.

The Lord is just

in ev’ry way,

forever loving in each deed.

The Lord is near to

those who call,

who call with truth in

time of need.

Gospel

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God,

the Father almighty,

Creator of heaven

and earth,

and in Jesus Christ,

his only Son, our Lord,

(Bow)

Who was conceived by the

Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under

Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died,

and was buried

he descended into hell;

on the third day

he rose again

from the dead;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated

at the right hand of

God the Father almighty;

from there he will come

to judge the living

and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and life everlasting. Amen.

Meditation

Shelter Me A Prayer-Song during the

Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic Michael Joncas

Shepherd and sheep,

my God and I:

To fresh green fields

you led my steps

in days gone by.

You gave me rest

by quiet springs

and filled my soul

with peace your

loving presence brings.

Yet now I tread

a diff’rent way:

Death dogs my path with

stealthy steps from

day to day.

I cannot find

your peaceful place,

but dwell in

dreary darkness,

longing for your face.

I will look back

in days to come

and realize your

faithfulness

has led me home.

Within your house

I’ll find my peace,

trusting that in your mercy

you have sheltered me.
