Peace in the Middle East

Dear Parishioners,

On Sunday, October 15 at the 9:30 Mass, Bishop Shanahan Liturgical Choir sang. They filled the Church with beautiful music and song. I am most grateful to them and their Director, Mary Beth   Kilpatrick.

You can go onto our parish website and click the Live Steam Mass for October 15 and enjoy the liturgy and choir.

One of the songs they sang was a hymn of praise, “Lord of All.” I am really moved by the message. With times the way they are, I find it a very uplifting message. I offer it to you for your own Prayer and reflection.

Hymn of Praise
Lord of All

Lord of all, of the heights where faith can lift the trusting heart
Lord of all, of the depths where fear would tear such faith apart
Lord of all, of the nations quick to anger, bearing arms
Lord of all, of each child held by its mother safe from harm

Lord of all, of all seen and unseen things
of the universe that sings and calls you Lord of all
Lord of all, of the power not to sin
You have always been and always will be
Lord of all

Lord of all, of a peace that we can draw with every breath
Lord of all, of provision for each need in life and death
Lord of all, of the turnings of the seasons and the earth
Lord of all, of the love that purchased man a
second birth

Lord of all, in grateful praise we call you Lord of all.

God bless is all!
