love. - --The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

27Prayer for Today
- God Be with You
- And also with you.
- Let us pray
- What is love, Jesus? It seems so important,
Jesus, that you called on the Father to forgive
your torturers because, as you put it, they
didnt know what they were doing. But you kept
on loving, even then.
28Prayer for Today
- Help us to learn from you, Lord, how to keep on
loving when we feel like hating. Its hard.
Some of us have even turned your cross into a
symbol of hate. When the Ku Klux Klan burns a
cross, Lord, the blasphemy of it startles me.
Doesnt this mean, in a very real sense, joining
the ranks of your own executioners?
Nevertheless, you were actively, creatively,
responsibly loving, even on the cross, Jesus.
Help us to see that love for what it is in all
its fierce passion and sweep of forgiveness. - Amen.
- By Malcolm Boyd, Are You
Running With Me, Jesus?
29A Reading from 1 Corinthians 134-13
- No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I
do, I'm bankrupt without love. Love never
gives up. Love cares more for others than for
self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
30 Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled
head, Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off
the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of
others, Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything, Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best, Never looks
back, But keeps going to the end.
31- Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over
some day praying in tongues will end
understanding will reach its limit. We know only
a portion of the truth, and what we say about God
is always incomplete. But when the Complete
arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. - When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I
gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew
up, I left those infant ways for good.
32- We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting
in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be
long before the weather clears and the sun shines
bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as
clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just
as he knows us! - But for right now, until that completeness, we
have three things to do to lead us toward that
consummation Trust steadily in God, hope
unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of
the three is love. - The Word of the Lord
- Thanks be to God.
33Responsorial I Still Havent Found What Im
Looking For
I have climbed the highest mountains I have run
through the fields Only to be with you Only to be
with you. I have run, I have crawled I have
scaled these city walls These city walls Only to
be with you. But I still haven't found what I'm
looking for. But I still haven't found what I'm
looking for.
34I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her
finger tips It burned like fire (I was) burning
inside her. I have spoke with the tongue of
angels I have held the hand of a devil It was
warm in the night I was cold as a stone. But I
still haven't found what I'm looking for. But I
still haven't found what I'm looking for.
35I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the
colours will bleed into one Bleed into one. But
yes, I'm still running. You broke the bonds And
you loosed the chains Carried the cross of my
shame Oh my shame, you know I believe it. But I
still haven't found what I'm looking for. But I
still haven't found what I'm looking for.
36 But I still haven't found what I'm looking
for. But I still haven't found what I'm looking
for.
37Gospel
- This is the Gospel according to Matthew (51-12)
- Glory to you Lord Jesus
- When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds,
he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed
to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving
at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his
climbing companions. This is what he said - "You're blessed when you're at the end of your
rope. With less of you there is more of God and
his rule. - "You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is
most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced
by the One most dear to you.
38-
- "You're blessed when you're content with just who
you areno more, no less. That's the moment you
find yourselves proud owners of everything that
can't be bought. - "You're blessed when you've worked up a good
appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best
meal you'll ever eat. - "You're blessed when you care. At the moment of
being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
- "You're blessed when you get your inside
worldyour mind and heartput right. Then you can
see God in the outside world. - "You're blessed when you can show people how to
cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's
when you discover who you really are, and your
place in God's family. - "You're blessed when your commitment to God
provokes persecution. The persecution drives you
even deeper into God's kingdom.
39- "Not only thatcount yourselves blessed every
time people put you down or throw you out or
speak lies about you to discredit me. What it
means is that the truth is too close for comfort
and they are uncomfortable. - You can be glad when that happensgive a cheer,
even!for though they don't like it, I do! And
all heaven applauds. And know that you are in
good company. My prophets and witnesses have
always gotten into this kind of trouble. - The Gospel of the Lord!
- Thanks be to God!

needs of others that challenge us in routine of
our lives, especially the 100 million children

own abilities and resourcesand the worlds deep
hungermeet. - Maker of Life, open our eyes.

die every 3 seconds of hunger, the 500,000 women
who die in childbirth each year, and the
thousands who have died of HIV/AIDS today. - Savior of All, open our memories.
- God, you are our goal. We run to you, run to
you, to you alone. Bless our questions, guide
our journeys, meet us and embrace us in the arms
of Jesus. Run with us, Jesus - never leave us

hearts and souls in your hands, Lord, trusting in
your Spirit and in the Resurrection from the dead
of your beloved and our Redeemer, Jesus the
Christ. - Amen

53Confessional When Love Comes To Town
- I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
- I was under the waves before love rescued me.
- I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
- Now I stand accused of the things I've said.
- When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
- When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that
flame. - Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
- But I did what I did before love came to town.
54Rallying for Debt Cancellation, April 9th 2000,
Washington D.C.
55- Used to make love under a red sunset
- I was making promises I was soon to forget.
- She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
- But I left her standing before love came to town.
- I ran into a juke-joint when I heard a guitar
scream - The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a
dream. - As the music played I saw my life turn around
- That was the day before love came to town.
56- When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
- When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that
flame. - Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
- But I did what I did before love came to town.
57Sub-Saharan African countries pay an estimated
30 billion repaying debts to the wealthy
countries of the world.
Often they spend so much servicing their debt
that they have little left over for health or
education.
The cost of cancelling all debts to the 52 most
indebted countries In the world would be one
penny per day for each person in the
industrialized world.
Forgive us our debts, Lord,
as we can forgive debts to others

59Ending poverty will require more than just
providing direct aid
we must also facilitate the economic processes
that allow countries to maintain growth and
improvements in the lives of their citizens.
Debt relief frees the money to make this happen
60- I was there when they crucified my Lord
- I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his
sword. - I threw the dice when they pierced his side
- But I've seen love conquer the great divide.

70The Great Thanksgiving
- Celebrant The Lord be with you.
- People And also with you.
- Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
- People We lift them up to God.
- Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our
God. - People It is right to give our thanks and
praise.
71- Celebrant
- We praise you and we bless you, holy and gracious
God, source of life abundant. From before time
you made ready the creation. Your Spirit moved
over the deep and brought all things into being
sun, moon, and stars earth, winds, and waters
and every living thing. - You made us in your image, and taught us to walk
in your ways. But we rebelled against you, and
wandered far away and yet, as a mother cares
for her children, you would not forget us.
72- Time and again you called us to live in the
fullness of your love. - And so this day we join with Saints and Angels in
the chorus of praise that rings through eternity,
lifting our voices to magnify you as we sing -
- Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
- heaven and earth are full of your glory.
- Hosanna in the highest.
- Blessed is the one
- who comes in the name of the Lord.
- Hosanna in the highest.
73The Celebrant continues Glory and honor and
praise to you, holy and living God. To deliver
us from the power of sin and death and to reveal
the riches of your grace, you looked with favor
upon Mary, your willing servant, that she might
conceive and bear a son, Jesus the holy child of
God.
74- Living among us, Jesus loved us. He broke bread
with outcasts and sinners, healed the sick, and
proclaimed good news to the poor. He yearned to
draw all the world to himself yet we were
heedless of his call to walk in love.
75- Then, the time came for him to complete upon the
cross the sacrifice of his life, and to be
glorified by you.
76- On the night before he died for us, Jesus was at
table with his friends. He took bread, gave
thanks to you, broke it, and gave it to them, and
said Take, eat This is my Body, which is given
for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. -
77- As supper was ending, Jesus took the cup of wine.
Again, he gave thanks to you, gave it to them,
and said Drink this, all of you This is my
Blood of the new Covenant, which is poured out
for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins.
Whenever you drink it, do this for the
remembrance of me.
78- Now gathered at your table, O God of all
creation, and remembering Christ, crucified and
risen, who was and is and is to come, we offer to
you our gifts of bread and wine, and ourselves, a
living sacrifice. Pour out your Spirit upon these
gifts that they may be the Body and Blood of
Christ. Breathe your Spirit over the whole earth
and make us your new creation, the Body of Christ
given for the world you have made.
79- In the fullness of time bring us, with Paul and
all your saints, from every tribe and language
and people and nation, to feast at the banquet
prepared from the foundation of the world.
Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor,
glory, and praise, for ever and ever. - AMEN.

Take them in remembrance that Christ gave himself
for Love of you, and feed on him in your hearts
by faith with thanksgiving.
