WORD
 FIRST READING

A Reading from the First

Book of Samuel
 The Lord said to Samuel,
“Fill your horn with oil,
and go; I will send you to
Jesse the Bethlehemite, for
I have provided for myself
a king among his sons.”
  When they came, he
looked on Eliab and
thought, “Surely
the Lord’s anointed is
before him.” But the Lord
said to Samuel, “Do not
look on his
 appearance or on the
height of his stature,
because I have rejected
him; for the Lord sees not
as man sees; man
looks on the outward
appearance,
but the Lord looks on the
heart.” And Jesse made
seven of his sons pass
before Samuel. And
Samuel said to Jesse,
“The Lord has not chosen
these.”
And Samuel said to Jesse,
“Are all your sons here?”
And he said, “There
remains yet the youngest,
but behold, he is keeping
the sheep.”
And Samuel said to Jesse,
“Send and
 fetch him; for we will not
sit down till he comes
here.” And he sent, and
brought him in. Now he
was ruddy,
and had beautiful eyes, and
was handsome. And
the Lord said, “Arise,
anoint him; for this is he.”
Then Samuel took the horn
of oil, and anointed him
 in the midst of his
brothers; and the Spirit of
the Lord came mightily
upon David from that day
forward.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall
want.
 The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the
pastures where he gives me
repose. Near restful waters he
leads me, to revive my
drooping spirit.
 Response

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall
want.
 He guides me along the right
path; he is true to his name. If
I should walk in the valley of
darkness no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook
and your staff; with these you
give me comfort.
 Response

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall
want.
You have prepared
a banquet for me
in the sight of my foes.
My head you have
anointed with oil;
my cup is overflowing.
 Response

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall
want.
 Surely goodness and
kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
In the Lord’s own house
shall I dwell
for ever and ever.
 Response

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall
want.
 SECOND READING

A Reading from the Letter

of St. Paul to the
Ephesians
 Once you were darkness,
but now you are light in the
Lord; walk as children of
light (for the fruit of light
is found in all that is good
and right and true),
 and try to learn what is
pleasing to the Lord. Take
no part in the unfruitful
works of darkness, but
instead expose them. For it
is a shame even to speak
of the things that they do in
secret; but when anything
is exposed by the light it
becomes visible, for
anything that becomes
visible is light. Therefore it
is said,
 “Awake, O sleeper, and
arise from the dead, and
Christ shall give you light.”

ONE MORE GIFT
If there’s one more gift I’d ask of
you, Lord
It would be peace here on earth
As gentle as your children’s
laughter
All around, all around
Your people have grown weary of
living in confusion
When will we realize that neither
heaven is at peace?
When we live not in peace
If there’s one more gift I’d ask of
you, Lord
It would be peace here on earth
As gentle as your children’s
laughter
All around, all around
 Grant me serenity, within
For the confusions around are
mere reflections of what’s within
What’s within me
If there’s one more gift I’d ask of
you, Lord
It would be peace here on earth
As gentle as your children’s
laughter
All around, all around,
