"I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him. That my hand may always be with him; and that my arm may make him strong."
Verse 2 "My faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him; and through my name shall his horn be exalted. He shall say of me, 'You are my father, my God, the Rock, my savior!'" R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
Verse 1
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. Let the house of Israel say, "His mercy endures forever."
Verse 2 "The right hand of the LORD has struck with power; the right hand of the LORD is exalted. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD."
Verse 3 The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes.
You saved my life from death When I was all defeated You spoke Your promises And brought life to my weakness Came as a conquering King And You warred for my freedom My soul can’t help but sing Hallelujah
You opened up my eyes For the first time I saw You Your love commanding life And deserving devotion You told me who I am Now in faith I believe it My soul can’t help but sing Hallelujah
You’ve made a place for me Silenced all my accusers Leading me forth with peace Filled with joy I will follow Your cross demands my life Now Your grace is my anthem My soul can’t help but sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, we’re redeemed and made free By the blood of the Lamb We have won Hallelujah, we will sing victory Jesus conquered the grave God be praised
The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
The Gospel of the Lord!
Prayer:
Almighty Father we may always see Mary as our model to say 'Yes' to your will. Amen!
All who see me scoff at me; they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads: "He relied on the LORD; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, if he loves him."(R.)
2
Indeed, many dogs surround me, a pack of evildoers closes in upon me; They have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones. (R.)
3
They divide my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots. But you, O LORD, be not far from me; O my help, hasten to aid me. (R.)
4
I will proclaim your name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will praise you: "You who fear the LORD, praise him; all you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him; revere him, all you descendants of Israel!" (R.)
Higher than the mountains that I face Stronger than the power of the grave Constant through the trial and the change This One thing Remains This One thing Remains.

Lord of Peace, we come to You in our need Create in us an awareness of the massive forces of violence and terrorism that threaten our world today.
Grant us a sense of urgency to activate the forces of goodness, of justice, of love and of peace in our communities.
Where there is armed conflict, let us stretch out our arms to our brothers and sisters.
Where there is abundance and luxury, let there be simple lifestyle and sharing.
Where there is poverty and misery, let there be dignified living and constant striving for just structures.
Where there is selfish ambition, let there be humble service. Where there is injustice, let there be humble atonement. Where there is despair, let there be hope in the Good News. Where there are wounds of division, let there be unity and wholeness. Where there are lies and deceit, let your Truth set us all of us free. Where there are thoughts of vengeance, let there be healing and forgiveness.
Help us to be committed to the Gospel of peace. In spite of our differences in faith traditions and ethnic roots, Teach us Your spirit of mercy and compassion.
For it is only in loving imitation of you, Lord of Peace, that we can discover the healing springs of life that will bring about new birth to our earth a new era of peace and a new harmony among all Forever and ever. Amen.
