Opening Song:Altogether Good by Brian Eichelberger and Zach Bolen Lyrics:How could we recount the waysThat You have multiplied our faithThe wisdom of Your waysThe currents of Your grace expressedIn every moment every wave In the longing of our soulsIn the darkness where we goYou are there You are loveYou are altogether goodIn the weakness of our faithIn the silence where we waitYou are here You're enoughYou are altogether good Through our joys and in our griefsYou have led us to believeThe wisdom of Your waysThe currents of Your grace expressOur only hope for all our days You are altogether good I love You Lord I love You LordYou are my moreWholly present and pure(You are altogether good)Passage: Luke On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”[a] 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.Musical Reflection: “Amazing Grace,” Appalachian folk tuneReflection Notes: This beloved tune, formally known as NEW BRITAIN, originates from the folk music of Appalachia. The melody is simple and outlines triads, making it memorable; the ascending line creates a triumphant climax. Prayer:O Lord, our heavenly Father, keep your household the Church continually in your true religion, that we who trust in the hope of your heavenly grace may always be defended by your mighty power; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
