First Reading: Simone

A reading from the book of Ruth

In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of
Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and two sons. But
Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons. These took Moabite
wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. When they had lived there
about ten years, both Mahlon and Chilion also died, so that the woman was left without her two
sons and her husband.

Then she started to return with her daughters-in-law from the country of Moab, for she had
heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had considered his people and given them food. Then
they wept aloud again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

So she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and gods; return after sister-in-
law.” But Ruth said, “Do not press me leave you or turn from following you! Where go, I will go;
lodge, lodge; shall be my people, God God.

So Naomi returned together with Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, who came back with
her from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
The word of the Lord

All: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm: Lucy

The response to the psalm is:

Praise the Lord, my soul!

He is happy who is helped by Jacob’s God,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who alone made heaven and earth,
the seas and all they contain.

Praise the Lord, my soul!

It is he who keeps faith for ever,
who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is he who gives bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free.

Praise the Lord, my soul!

It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed down,
the Lord, who protects the stranger
and upholds the widow and orphan.

Praise the Lord, my soul!

It is the Lord who loves the just
but thwarts the path of the wicked.
The Lord will reign for ever,
Zion’s God, from age to age.

Praise the Lord, my soul!

Gospel Acclamation: Xavier

Please stand to welcome the gospel

Alleluia, alleluia!
I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;
I know my sheep, and mine know me.
Alleluia!

Gospel (Father)

A reading from the gospel according to Matthew

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and
one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which commandment in the
law is the greatest?” He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a
second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.”
The Gospel of the Lord

All: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Please sit

Lyrics – Hold Us Together – Matt Maher

Don't have a job

Don't pay your bills
Won't buy you a home in Beverly Hills
Won't fix your life in five easy steps
Ain't the law of the land or the government

But it's all you need, even now, let's see

Love will hold us together
Make us a shelter weather the storm
And I'll be my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know that we're not alone

He's waiting for you

Knockin' at your door!
Every moment of truth
When your heart hits the floor
And when you're on your knees, now see

Love will hold us together

Make us a shelter weather the storm
And I'll be my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know that we're not alone
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life

'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life

Oh, 'cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright, oh, it's gonna be alright
And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter weather the storm
And I'll be my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know that we're not alone
