Preparation: Opening Prayer

Proclamation: Isaiah 40:11:  Like a shepherd He will tend His flock. In His arm He will gather the lambs and gather tem in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

Song: Like a Shepherd (Lift up your Hearts--St. Louis Jesuits)

(Chorus) Like a shepherd he feeds his flock and gathers the lambs in his arms holding them carefully close to his heart leading them home.

Say to cities of Judah: Prepare the way of the Lord. Go to the mountains, uplift your voice: Jerusalem, here is your God. (Chorus)

I myself will shepherd them for others have led them astray. The lost will I rescue and heal their wounds and pasture them giving them rest. (Chorus)

Come unto me if you are heavily burdened and take my yoke upon your shoulders. I will give you rest. (Chorus)
