COLLECT
Almighty Father, who in your great
mercy gladdened the disciples with
the sight of the risen Lord: give us
such knowledge of his presence
with us, that we may be
strengthened and sustained by his
risen life and serve you continually
in righteousness and truth;
through Jesus Christ your Son our
Lord, who is alive and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen.
GATHERING:
Christ is alive, with joy we sing;
We celebrate our risen Lord,
Praising the glory of his name.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
He is the grain of wheat that died;
Sown in distress and reaped in joy,
Yielding a harvest of new life.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
He is the sun
which brings the dawn:
He is the light of all the world,
Setting us free from death and sin.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
He is the vine set in the earth,
Sharing our life, becoming man,
That we might share
in God's own life.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
He is the bread
which comes from God
Broken to feed us in our need
Given to bring eternal life.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Christ is alive, with joy we sing;
We celebrate our risen Lord,
Praising the glory of his name.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
OFFERTORY:
This is my body, broken for you,
bringing you wholeness,
making you free,
take it and eat it,
and when you do,
do it in love for me.
This is my blood
poured out for you,
bringing forgiveness,
making you free.
Take it and drink it,
and when you do,
do it in love for me.
Back to my Father soon shall I go.
Do not forget me;
then you will see
I am still with you,
and you will know
you’re very close to me.
Filled with my Spirit,
how you will grow!
You are my branches;
I am the tree.
If you are faithful,
others will know
you are alive in me.
Love one another –
I have loved you,
and I have shown you
how to be free;
serve one another,
and when you do,
do it in love for me.
COMMUNION:
Amazing grace
how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught
my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
Through many dangers,
toils and snares
I have already come:
2
5 MAY 2019
'tis grace has brought me
safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh
and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon
dissolve like snow,
the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine
FINAL HYMN:
All for Jesus--all for Jesus,

this our song shall ever be;

for we have no hope, nor Saviour,

if we have not hope in thee.



All for Jesus--thou wilt give us

strength to serve thee,
hour by hour,

none can move us
from thy presence,

while we trust thy love and power.



All for Jesus--at thine altar

thou wilt give us sweet content;

there, dear Lord,
we shall receive thee

in the solemn sacrament.



All for Jesus--thou hast loved us;

all for Jesus--thou hast died;

all for Jesus--thou art with us;

all for Jesus crucified.



All for Jesus--all for Jesus--

this the Church's song must be;

till, at last, her sons are gathered

one in love and one in thee.

FIRST READING
The First reading is from the book of
Acts.
The high priest demanded an
explanation of the Apostles. ‘We gave
you a formal warning’ he said ‘not to
preach in this name, and what have you
done? You have filled Jerusalem with
your teaching, and seem determined to
fix the guilt of this man’s death on us.’ In
reply Peter and the apostles said,
‘Obedience to God comes before
obedience to men; it was the God of our
ancestors who raised up Jesus, but it
was you who had him executed by
hanging on a tree. By his own right hand
God has now raised him up to be leader
and saviour, to give repentance and
forgiveness of sins through him to Israel.
We are witnesses to all this, we and the
Holy Spirit whom God has given to those
who obey him.’ They warned the
apostles not to speak in the name of
Jesus and released them. And so they
left the presence of the Sanhedrin glad
to have had the honour of suffering
humiliation for the sake of the name.
This is the word of the Lord.
Acts 5
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
I will praise you, Lord,
you have rescued me.
I will praise you, Lord,
you have rescued me
and have not let my enemies
rejoice over me.
O Lord, you have raised my soul f
rom the dead,
restored me to life
from those who sink into the grave. R/
Sing psalms to the Lord,
you who love him,
give thanks to his holy name.
His anger lasts a moment;
his favour all through life.
At night there are tears,
but joy comes with dawn. R/
The Lord listened and had pity.
The Lord came to my help.
For me you have changed
my mourning into dancing:
O Lord my God,
I will thank you for ever. R/
Psalm 30

GOSPEL
A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St John.
After these things Jesus showed himself
again to the disciples by the Sea of
Tiberias; and he showed himself in this
way. Gathered there together were
Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin,
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of
Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
Simon Peter said to them, ‘I am going
fishing.’ They said to him, ‘We will go
with you.’ They went out and got into
the boat, but that night they caught
nothing.
Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the
beach; but the disciples did not know
that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them,
‘Children, you have no fish, have you?’
They answered him, ‘No.’ He said to
them, ‘Cast the net to the right side of
the boat, and you will find some.’ So
they cast it, and now they were not able
to haul it in because there were so many
fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said
to Peter, ‘It is the Lord!’ When Simon
Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put
on some clothes, for he was naked, and
jumped into the lake. But the other
disciples came in the boat, dragging the
net full of fish, for they were not far
from the land, only about a hundred
yards off.
When they had gone ashore, they saw a
charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and
bread. Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of
the fish that you have just caught.’ So
Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the
net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred
