Crouch) Second Reading 2 Thessalonians 2:16-3:5 Paul prayed that God, who consoled him, also comfort and strengthen the saints of the Thessalonians church. He asked for their prayer and gave them God s blessing. Gospel Acclamation Alleluia (Manibusan) Gloria Mass of Light (D. Haas) First Reading 2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14 Even their torturers marveled at the heroism of the seven Maccabee brothers and their mother who trusted in God and faced death with courage.

Ofertory Care For Me (Hervé Kieffel) Care for me, God, take care of me, I have no where else to hide. Shadow me with your wings Until all danger passes. Extend to me your love that never fails For I find myself among lions Who crave for human flesh, Their teeth like spears and arrows. They rigged a net, a trap to bring me down, But I will not fear, O Lord, To you I ll sing my praise: Awake my soul to song. I call to the most high, to God, My hope and my salvation: Send help to free me, Free me from all fear. Awake my harp and lyre so I can wake the dawn! I lift up my voice in praise, For your love reaches heaven s edge, Your unfailing love the skies! Sanctus Mass of Light (D. Haas)
