I will listen to what the Lord will say.
He will speak, he will speak of peace
By my voice and by my hands
Jesus Christ is going to talk about peace.
OFFERING:A night of sweat, on the boat in high seas,
The sky begins to lighten.
Your network is empty, but the voice that calls you.
It will show you another sea.
And about many hearts
Your network will launch.
Pray your life like Mary at the foot of the cross.
And you will be... Servant of every man
I serve for love, priest of humanity.
You walked in silence, hoping beyond the pain.
That the seed you were throwing
In good soil, it germinates.
But the heart rejoices,
Because the field is already golden.
The grain ripe by the sun
No one can enter the barn.
Pray for your life, like Mary at the foot of the cross.
And you will be... Servant of every man
I serve out of love, priest of humanity...
SAINT:Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God of the universe.
Heaven and earth proclaim Your Glory

Hosanna in the Highest
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the Heights.
Hosanna, (Hosanna)
Hosanna, (Hosanna),
Hosanna in the Heights
HUG OF PEACE:Open a smile
for the Lord is with you
Everything that was old is left behind
Let God reach you and infect you
With the true peace that the world does not give
Open a smile
for the Lord is with you
Everything old is left behind
Let God reach you and infect you.
With the true peace that the world does not give
Rejoice and get out of your place
look how many brothers God gives you
Prepare the hug and go meet you
for it will be good and pleasant
Rejoice and get out of your place
look how many magnets God gives you
Prepare the hug and go meet you
for it will be good and pleasant
The Lord rejoiced at seeing us gathered in peace
In His goodness, He commanded us to love one another more and more.
COMMUNION: Your Church is a body,/ each member is different;/ and there is in the Body,
certainly,
Heart, oh my Lord./From it arises charity,/greater gift, more important;
Well, finally, I found radiant/my vocation: LOVE!
1-What madness you did,/ coming to the world to save us!
And after You died,/ You remain alive on this altar!
2-Your saints understood / Your boundless love;
and the madness they committed,/ in their own vocation.
I am so small, like a child, / full of limitations;
but my hope is great:/ I feel many callings!
4-I want to be a missionary / until the sun gives light.
Give me an itinerary / all the land, oh Jesus!
5-O martyrdom, behold my dream. / To give you blood, at once!
I am ready for a thousand deaths; I will suffer with boldness!
6-So many callings feeling, what a martyrdom, my Lord.
I was glad to discover my calling: love.
Sentiment is a vague thing. By my actions, I will prove
That love is repaid with love: / I will embrace every cross.
COMMUNION:Upon receiving you, Lord, your sacred presence. To confirm your love,
make us your dwelling. a sincere praise arises, the planted seed sprouts, make us
follow your path, always travel your road.
Untie your sandals and rest, this ground is holy land, my brothers.
come pray, eat, sing, come everyone... and renew the hope in the
mister.
The son of God with the father, and the Holy Spirit. In this Trinity, one being, which asks us.
let us be holy. give us Jesus your power to give without measure, let that
let's understand that this is the meaning of life.
Untie your sandals and rest, this ground is holy land, my brothers.
come pray, eat, sing, come everyone... and renew hope in the
mister.
As we come to welcome you, we ask you, O Christ, make our being vibrate, going to meet.
Oh holy father. Without neglecting the brothers, a thousand faces of your face, make the heart feel,
the strength of charity.
Untie the sandals and rest, this ground is holy ground, my brothers. come
pray, eat, sing, let everyone come... and renew hope in the Lord.
AFTER COMMUNION:I was chosen to serve you
And to love you my brother
My heart divided between my being
And your being in communion
Life put me face to face
With a kingdom
A kingdom that I dreamed of
And it was my calling
I made myself a priest to be like Jesus.
I want to enlighten you and receive your light.
The cross that I embraced is your cross, oh my brother.
If it is necessary to give my life, it is my vocation.
Here I am Lord to serve
Here I am Lord at your altar
Celebrate life and life in communion
I want to give you my life
I abandoned my house
And my parents to fight
For many people who do not have a family
A great love, or even a home
I was not indifferent to your call.
My Lord
Keep me in grace, in the grace of love
Now I say a prayer
To praise you my Jesus
I thank you for this gift
And by my vocation
It is impossible to be called and not obey.
You have my life and my being in your hands.
FINAL CANTICLE:I never forget, Maria, your serene way of being.
I remember your generous yes
Graceful gaze of mother and woman
Blessed Maria, with you I learned to live
And today I say my yes
And without fear, here I am.
To live only by love
Calling is, without fear, to always say yes
It is to shout that love has no end
Being faithful to your mission
Vocation is to leave everything, everything and depart.
It is to take up your cross and follow.
In the infinite peace of Christ Jesus
I see you, blessed Mary, so pure and so full of light
Queen of Peace, Mother of the Church, love and beauty
Of God the Savior
Humble and serene Mary, with you I learned to live
And today I found true happiness
To love and serve
