00:00:16I hope it is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
00:00:19Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,

00:01:00Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters, and welcome on this Good Shepherd Sunday.
00:01:05Let us begin with our Easter lauds, found on page B6 of your White Pew prayer books, page B6.
00:01:17Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
00:01:24Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in his mighty firmament.
00:01:29Praise him for his mighty deeds. Praise him according to his exceeding greatness.
00:01:35Praise him with trumpet sound. Praise him with lute and harp.
00:01:39Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with strings and pipe.
00:01:44Praise him with sounding cymbals. Praise him with loud, clashing cymbals.
00:01:49Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.
00:01:52Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
00:02:02Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
00:02:08Please rise for the Benedictus.

00:02:17Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people,
00:02:23and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
00:02:29as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
00:02:33that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hands of all who hate us,
00:02:38to perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
00:02:44which he swore to our father Abraham to grant that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
00:02:52might serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
00:02:58And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High,
00:03:02for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
00:03:05to give knowledge of salvation to his people and the forgiveness of their sins,
00:03:10through the tender mercy of our God,
00:03:13when the day dawn upon us from on high,

00:16:32Alleluia
00:16:42Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters, and welcome again on this Good Shepherd Sunday.
00:16:49Today we hear that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is not just the shepherd, but He is also the
00:16:57sheep gate,
00:16:58the way we come in and go out, the way we enter through Him.
00:17:03So today let us give our love, give our praise, give our worship to our beloved Lord and Savior, our
00:17:12Good Shepherd.
00:17:13That beautiful window right there, the Good Shepherd, that beautiful painting on our choir up there.
00:17:19We are surrounded by that love of our Good Shepherd.
00:17:24Today's Holy Mass is offered for our basket social today, for all those we will serve, all those we will
00:17:32welcome today,
00:17:33that through our efforts together, we may continue to do God's work here in Schenectady.
00:17:40Today's Holy Mass and the contemporary rite found in your program pamphlet.
00:17:46In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
00:17:49Amen.
00:17:50Lord, bless us with the wisdom to praise you in spirit and in truth, so that by following your holy
00:17:56will, we may gain eternal salvation.
00:18:00My dear brothers and sisters, let's now pause to confess our sins to God and prepare ourselves so that we
00:18:06may worthily participate in this holy sacrifice.
00:18:10Please now complete your examination of conscience, confessing your sins privately to God and seeking His forgiveness.
00:18:33And recall our sinfulness and seeking reconciliation with God and each other.
00:18:39Let us now recite the second form of the confitier in your program pamphlet.
00:18:43I confess to Almighty God, in the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
00:18:49all the saints and you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault,
00:18:55in my thoughts, in my words, in what I have done or failed to do,
00:19:00I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the saints and you, my brothers and sisters,
00:19:06to pray for me to the Lord our God.
00:19:09As an act of penance for our sinfulness,
00:19:12as we encounter many people today at our basket social,
00:19:17let us offer each and every one of them that we encounter a word of encouragement and a word of
00:19:24love,
00:19:24the love found in our blessed Good Shepherd.
00:19:28May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.
00:19:34May our Lord Jesus Christ absolve you, and with His authority vested in me,
00:19:38I absolve you from all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
00:19:42Holy Spirit.
00:19:44Amen.
00:19:51You, my sheep, you are the sheep of my pasture,
00:19:55and I am your God, says the Lord God.
00:19:59Alleluia.
00:20:00Then we, your people, and the sheep of your pasture,
00:20:04will give thanks to you forever.
00:20:07Through all generations, we will declare your praise.
00:20:11Alleluia.
00:20:12Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
00:20:16And to the Holy Spirit.
00:20:17As the beginning is now, and ever shall be,
00:20:19a world without end.
00:20:20Amen.
00:20:21Amen.
00:20:27Kyrie eleison.
00:20:31Kyrie eleison.
00:20:35Christ eleison.
00:20:39Christ eleison.
00:20:43Kyrie eleison.
00:20:53Glory to God in the highest.
00:21:16Receive our prayer for you, Lord, and the Holy One, and the Lord, and the Lord, and the Lord, and
00:21:20the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit and the glory of God the Father. Amen.
00:21:35Christ is risen, we are risen, and upon us have been raised.
00:21:43Rain in dew and gleams of glory from the brightness of my face.
00:21:52Thou with hearts in heaven dwelling, we on earth may fruitful be.
00:22:01And the angels be gathered on the evermore of thee.
00:22:13The Lord be with you.
00:22:16And also with you.
00:22:20Let us pray.
00:22:25Lord Jesus Christ, shepherd of your people, strengthen us through your risen presence.
00:22:32May we walk with you each day, and follow you in humble trust.
00:22:38For you are the good shepherd, you call us by name and lead us.
00:22:44For you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
00:22:53Amen.
00:22:55Let us now be seated and attentive to the Lord's word.
00:23:23Our first reading this morning is from the Acts of the Apostles.
00:23:28Then Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed,
00:23:34Let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom
00:23:42you crucified.
00:23:43Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles,
00:23:50What are we to do, my brothers?
00:23:53Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ,
00:24:01for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
00:24:07For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off,
00:24:13whomever the Lord our God will call.
00:24:16He testified with many other arguments and was exhorting them,
00:24:21Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.
00:24:25Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about 3,000 persons were added that day.
00:24:33This is the word of the Lord.
00:24:35Thanks be to God.
00:24:36Our response this morning,
00:24:39The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
00:24:43The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
00:24:47The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
00:24:51In verdant pastures he gives me repose.
00:24:54Beside restful waters he leads me, he refreshes my soul.
00:24:59The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
00:25:03He guides me in right paths, for his name's sake.
00:25:08Even though I walk in the dark valley, I fear no evil,
00:25:12for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage.
00:25:18The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
00:25:22You spread the table before me, in the sight of my foes.
00:25:27You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
00:25:30The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
00:25:36Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life,
00:25:41and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.
00:25:46The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
00:25:53Our second reading is from the first letter of St. Peter.
00:25:59Beloved, if you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good,
00:26:04this is a grace before God.
00:26:06For to this you have been called,
00:26:10because Christ also suffered for you,
00:26:13leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.
00:26:17He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.
00:26:23When he was insulted, he returned no insult.
00:26:27When he suffered, he did not threaten.
00:26:31Instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly.
00:26:36He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross,
00:26:40so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness.
00:26:46By his wounds you have been healed,
00:26:50for you had gone astray like sheep.
00:26:53But you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
00:26:58This is the word of the Lord.
00:27:01Thanks be to God.
00:27:18Please rise.
00:27:23Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
00:27:42And when the chief shepherd is revealed,
00:27:46you will receive the unfading crown of glory,
00:27:50for he is our God,
00:27:52and we are the people he shepherds,
00:27:54the flock he guides.
00:28:00Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
00:28:18The Lord be with you.
00:28:20And also with you.
00:28:22A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John.
00:28:25Glory be to you, O Lord.
00:28:27Jesus said,
00:28:57He walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.
00:29:03But they will not follow a stranger.
00:29:05They will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.
00:29:11Although Jesus used this figure of speech, the Pharisees did not realize what he was trying to tell them.
00:29:18So Jesus said again,
00:29:20Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep.
00:29:26All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
00:29:32I am the gate.
00:29:34Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.
00:29:41A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy.
00:29:45I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
00:29:50This is the gospel of the Lord.
00:29:54Thanks be to you, O Lord Jesus Christ.
00:30:14Here we come, we ask you.
00:30:18Saving grace we need from you
00:30:23Through this heavenly revelation
00:30:28May our stubborn will be moved
00:30:34May we fully comprehend
00:30:39Guided by your constant hand
00:30:44Standing on your words of promise
00:30:50We confirm and praise your goodness
00:30:56By his wounds you have been healed
00:31:14For you had gone astray like sheep
00:31:17But you have now returned to the shepherd
00:31:19And guardian of your souls
00:31:22In the name of the Father
00:31:24And of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
00:31:25Amen
00:31:26Now let's see how good we're getting at this
00:31:29Christ is risen, alleluia
00:31:31He is risen, alleluia
00:31:35Very good, we're getting there
00:31:37A couple more weeks, we're going to have it
00:31:39We'll have it down perfectly
00:31:41Do you remember that day
00:31:43When you left home
00:31:47And I'm not talking about
00:31:48You know, sort of the ordinary thing
00:31:50Like, you know, oh I'm going to school
00:31:52Right, or we're going on vacation
00:31:54We're going to go away for a while
00:31:56Or I'm going to go off to college
00:32:01Or some sort of maybe temporary break
00:32:05We all need those temporary breaks
00:32:08But rather, what we left
00:32:11To set out on our own
00:32:14I remember that day very well
00:32:19I was wide-eyed
00:32:21I had all sorts of dreams and visions
00:32:24And all this great stuff is going to happen
00:32:27In my life
00:32:28And I'm going to move out
00:32:29And set out on my own
00:32:33My mother was having none of it
00:32:37She thought I did it too soon
00:32:40That I didn't think about it enough
00:32:43That I didn't consider all the things
00:32:45That might happen
00:32:47It was one of those
00:32:49Who do you think you are
00:32:52Moments in my life
00:32:55In retrospect
00:32:56Mom was right
00:32:58She was definitely right
00:33:01It didn't go that well
00:33:05Things eventually work out
00:33:07They always do
00:33:08And I remember several years later
00:33:12My mom coming to my then new house
00:33:16It wasn't a new house
00:33:17But it was new to me at least
00:33:19And she came with bread
00:33:22Bread and wine and salt
00:33:27Traditional Polish gifts
00:33:29For the blessing of a new home
00:33:32That we might have food
00:33:34That we might have joy
00:33:36And that we might have flavor
00:33:38In our lives
00:33:39It's a beautiful, beautiful tradition
00:33:42And it's a beautiful blessing
00:33:47We all experience those goings and comings
00:33:51Those ways in particular to ourselves
00:33:56There are times, of course
00:33:59As I did
00:34:00Where you go astray
00:34:02We all go astray
00:34:04As St. Peter says
00:34:05Like sheep
00:34:07And there are times
00:34:09A return to the safety
00:34:11And the embrace of home
00:34:13And family
00:34:15Jesus knows this
00:34:18He knows the conflicts
00:34:21And selfish tendencies
00:34:22We tend to have as human beings
00:34:25When we think we are all that
00:34:29When mom or dad would turn to us
00:34:32And say
00:34:33Who do you think you are?
00:34:38Those were times
00:34:39We thought we were enough
00:34:41And we could do it
00:34:43On our own
00:34:45Jesus, the good shepherd
00:34:47Is the way
00:34:48Of returning
00:34:50His is the safe way
00:34:53To the embrace
00:34:55To the welcome
00:34:56To the care that he offers
00:34:59For us
00:35:00The place where he will
00:35:02Feed us
00:35:04And the place where he
00:35:06Protects us
00:35:08Forever
00:35:10Jesus uses
00:35:11The metaphor
00:35:13Of the sheep gate
00:35:15And there's a lot
00:35:17About that
00:35:18You could study that
00:35:19For a really long time
00:35:21But he uses the metaphor
00:35:22Of the sheep gate
00:35:24In that he is illustrating
00:35:26We have only
00:35:27One way
00:35:28In
00:35:29Through him
00:35:32The way in
00:35:33Is through him
00:35:35Sure we can
00:35:36Pretend
00:35:37We can try to
00:35:38Jump over the fence
00:35:40At another location
00:35:42We can try to do it
00:35:44On our own
00:35:47When we do
00:35:48We cheapen
00:35:50We break our relationship
00:35:52With our Lord and Savior
00:35:54If we are doing it
00:35:56On our own
00:35:57We need to fix it
00:35:59Like I had to do
00:36:02It's humbling
00:36:03Right?
00:36:05But
00:36:06If you do that
00:36:07If you fix it
00:36:08If you mature
00:36:10You come in
00:36:11Through the gate
00:36:12You come home
00:36:14Through Jesus
00:36:16Enter
00:36:17Through
00:36:18Him
00:36:20By the gate
00:36:21Of Christ
00:36:22We come home
00:36:23And he stands there
00:36:25Ready
00:36:26With bread
00:36:27And wine
00:36:31To bring us
00:36:32Joy
00:36:32Forever
00:36:33In the name of the Father
00:36:35And of the Son
00:36:35And of the Holy Spirit
00:36:36Amen
00:36:49Let us now rise
00:36:51And together
00:36:52Profess our faith
00:36:53I believe
00:36:55In one God
00:36:56The Father
00:36:57The Almighty
00:36:58Maker of heaven
00:36:59And earth
00:37:00Of all that is seen
00:37:01And unseen
00:37:02I believe
00:37:03In one Lord
00:37:04Jesus Christ
00:37:05The only Son
00:37:06Of God
00:37:07Eternally begotten
00:37:08Of the Father
00:37:09God from God
00:37:11Light from light
00:37:12True God
00:37:13From true God
00:37:14Begotten
00:37:15Not made
00:37:15Of one being
00:37:16With the Father
00:37:17Through him
00:37:18All things are made
00:37:19For us
00:37:20And for our salvation
00:37:21He came down
00:37:23From heaven
00:37:23By the power
00:37:24Of the Holy Spirit
00:37:25He was born
00:37:27Of the Virgin Mary
00:37:28And became man
00:37:31For our sake
00:37:33He was crucified
00:37:34Under Pontius Pilate
00:37:35He suffered death
00:37:37And was buried
00:37:38On the third day
00:37:39He rose again
00:37:40In fulfillment
00:37:41Of the scriptures
00:37:42He descended
00:37:43And is seated
00:37:45At the right hand
00:37:46Of the Father
00:37:47He will come again
00:37:48In glory
00:37:49To judge the living
00:37:50And the dead
00:37:51And his kingdom
00:37:52Will have no end
00:37:53I believe
00:37:54In the Holy Spirit
00:37:55The Lord
00:37:56And giver of life
00:37:57Who proceeds
00:37:58From the Father
00:37:59With the Father
00:38:00And the Son
00:38:01He has worshipped
00:38:02And glorified
00:38:03He has spoken
00:38:04Through the prophets
00:38:05I believe in one
00:38:07Holy Catholic
00:38:08And apostolic church
00:38:09I acknowledge one baptism
00:38:11For the forgiveness
00:38:12Of sins
00:38:13I look for the resurrection
00:38:15Of the dead
00:38:15And the life
00:38:16Of the world
00:38:17To come
00:38:18Amen
00:38:19The Lord be with you
00:38:21And also with you
00:38:22Let us pray

00:43:58Lord, I accept the sacrifice from your hands.

00:45:24through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
00:45:28Lord, especially at this time
00:45:31when he became our Paschal sacrifice.
00:45:36He is the true Lamb who took away the sins of the world.
00:45:42Through his death he conquered death for us,
00:45:46and by his wondrous resurrection
00:45:48he restored eternal life to us.
00:45:53Therefore, with the angels and archangels,
00:45:56with all the saints in the entire church,

00:47:49and hope for our salvation.
00:47:50Together with the whole church,
00:47:52we honor the Virgin Mary,
00:47:54the mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
00:47:56We also honor the apostles and martyrs,
00:47:58as well as all those who have lived and died,
00:48:01confessing your name.
00:48:02And remembering them,
00:48:03we desire to follow their example,
00:48:05and so gain your love and help.
00:48:07Father, accept this offering from your whole family,
00:48:10grant us your peace in this life,
00:48:12preserve us from spiritual damnation,
00:48:14and count us among your chosen people.
00:48:18Bless, accept, and approve this offering we now make to you
00:48:21and let it be pleasing to you.
00:48:23Fill it with the power of your Holy Spirit
00:48:26and let it become for us the body and the blood of your Son,
00:48:30our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:48:32The day before he suffered and died,
00:48:35our Lord desired to make his love known to his disciples
00:48:39and all who would follow him.
00:48:41He therefore instituted these sacred mysteries
00:48:44by which he joined himself with them spiritually
00:48:47and bodily in his whole being
00:48:50and abides with us forever.
00:48:53At that moment,
00:48:54so sacred for all of humanity,
00:48:57Jesus took bread into his holy hands,
00:49:00and looking up to heaven,
00:49:01to you, his almighty Father,
00:49:04he gave you thanks.
00:49:05He blessed the bread,
00:49:07broke it,
00:49:08and gave it to his disciples,
00:49:10saying,
00:49:11Take this, all of you, and eat it,
00:49:14for this is my body,
00:49:16which is given for you.
00:49:34When supper had ended,
00:49:35he took the cup.
00:49:36In the same way,
00:49:38he gave you thanks,
00:49:39blessed it,
00:49:40and gave it to his disciples,
00:49:42saying,
00:49:44Take this, all of you,
00:49:45and drink from it,
00:49:46for this is the cup of my blood,
00:49:49the blood of the new and everlasting covenant,
00:49:52which shall be shed for you
00:49:54and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
00:49:56As often as you do this,
00:49:58do it in remembrance of me.
00:50:15Father, in celebration of the memory of Jesus Christ,
00:50:18your Son,
00:50:19we, your people,
00:50:19recall us passion,
00:50:20resurrection from the dead,
00:50:22and ascension into glory.
00:50:24From the many gifts you have given us,
00:50:26we offer you this pure,
00:50:27holy and spotless offering,
00:50:29the holy bread of life,
00:50:31and the holy cup of eternal salvation.
00:50:33Look favorably on these offerings,
00:50:35and accept them as you once accepted
00:50:37the gifts of your servant Abel,
00:50:39the sacrifice of our Father,
00:50:41in faith Abraham,
00:50:42and the bread and wine
00:50:44offered by your priest,
00:50:45Melchizedek.
00:50:46In humility,
00:50:47we ask, Father,
00:50:48that these offerings be carried
00:50:49by your angel
00:50:50to your high altar in heaven
00:50:52so that we who receive
00:50:53the sacred body
00:50:54and blood of your Son
00:50:55from this altar
00:50:56may be filled
00:50:58with your grace
00:50:59and blessing.
00:51:01Remember, Lord,
00:51:02our brothers and sisters
00:51:03who have died
00:51:03and have gone before us
00:51:04marked with the sign of faith.
00:51:06We especially remember
00:51:07all of our departed parishioners,
00:51:09all of our departed members,
00:51:11all the departed
00:51:12of holy name of Jesus,
00:51:14good shepherd,
00:51:14and St. Joseph's parishes,
00:51:16our departed loved ones,
00:51:18and benefactors.
00:51:21May these and all
00:51:22who rest in Christ
00:51:24find happiness,
00:51:25light,
00:51:25and peace,
00:51:26and we who trust
00:51:28in your love
00:51:29also ask me to include
00:51:30in the fellowship
00:51:31of your holy apostles,
00:51:32martyrs,
00:51:32and saints
00:51:33who offered their lives to you.
00:51:35They were filled
00:51:36with your justice and mercy
00:51:38because they lived
00:51:39in accord
00:51:39with the teachings of Jesus,
00:51:41gained eternal joy.
00:51:43Count us among them,
00:51:44Father,
00:51:45not because of what
00:51:46we truly deserve,
00:51:47but because you are
00:51:48willing to forgive us.
00:51:49We ask this in the name
00:51:50of your Son,
00:51:51Jesus Christ,
00:51:52by whom you give us
00:51:53all these gifts.
00:51:54You fill them with life
00:51:56and goodness.
00:51:56You bless them
00:51:58and make them holy.
00:52:03Through him,
00:52:05with him,
00:52:05and in him,
00:52:06in the unity
00:52:08of the Holy Spirit,
00:52:10all honor and glory
00:52:11are yours,
00:52:12Almighty Father,
00:52:13forever and ever.
00:52:23let us now pray
00:52:25with confidence
00:52:25to the Father
00:52:26in the words
00:52:28our Savior gave us.
00:52:30our Father,
00:52:34O art in heaven,
00:52:38hallowed be thy name.
00:52:42Thy kingdom come,
00:52:46thy will be done
00:52:49on earth as it is in heaven.
00:52:56give us this day
00:53:00our daily bread,
00:53:04and forgive us
00:53:07our trespasses
00:53:09as we forgive those
00:53:13who trespass against us,
00:53:17and lead us not
00:53:20into temptation,
00:53:24but deliver us
00:53:27from evil.
00:53:30Deliver us,
00:53:32Lord,
00:53:32from every evil
00:53:33and grant us peace
00:53:34in our day.
00:53:35In your mercy,
00:53:36keep us free
00:53:37from sin
00:53:38and protect us
00:53:40from all anxiety
00:53:41as we wait
00:53:43in joyful hope
00:53:44for the coming
00:53:44of our Savior,
00:53:46Jesus Christ.
00:53:53the cup of blessing
00:54:00which we bless,
00:54:02is it not a participation
00:54:04in the blood of Christ?
00:54:06The bread which we break,
00:54:09is it not a participation
00:54:11in the body of Christ?
00:54:13Because there is one bread,
00:54:16we who are many
00:54:17are one body,
00:54:18for we all partake
00:54:19of the one bread.
00:54:21May the union of divinity
00:54:22and humanity
00:54:23in Jesus Christ
00:54:24bring us sanctification
00:54:26and eternal life.
00:54:28Amen.
00:54:29Lord Jesus Christ,
00:54:30you said to your apostles,
00:54:31I leave you peace,
00:54:32my peace I give you.

00:54:35but on the faith
00:54:36of your church,
00:54:37and grant us the peace
00:54:38and unity of your kingdom
00:54:40where you live forever and ever.
00:54:43the peace of the Lord
00:54:44be with you always.
00:54:46And also with you.
