JULY 4 & 5, 2026
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Hymn Reflections
Entrance: Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
As we gather in worship, let us lift our hearts in joyful praise to our King and Savior. May our songs remind us that every blessing comes from the Lord, whose mercy and love endure forever.
Responsorial Psalm: I Will Praise Your Name Forever, My King and My God
Our response is a heartfelt promise to praise God not only with our lips but through our daily lives. His faithfulness invites us to trust Him in every season.
Gospel Acclamation
“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.”
God reveals His truth to humble and trusting hearts. May we approach Him with childlike faith, ready to receive His wisdom and share His love with others.
Offertory: Come to Me
As we present our gifts, we also offer our burdens, worries, and hopes. Christ gently calls each of us, “Come to Me,” promising rest, peace, and renewed strength.
Communion: Prayer of St. Francis
Nourished by the Eucharist, may we become instruments of God’s peace—bringing love where there is hatred, hope where there is despair, and light where there is darkness.
Recessional: America the Beautiful
As we go forth, let us pray for our nation and all its people. May God continue to bless our land with justice, peace, and compassion, and may we be faithful witnesses of Christ wherever we go.
