God Figure: Along with his mother the father is a boys/girls first God figure. Humans need to build on these initial images of the divine but also go beyond these images because God is greater than any human love. Some of us get trapped in our childhood conditioning and we never move beyond the negative or positive image of our own parents. All fathers, foster fathers, godfathers and father figures are to build a bridge to the God who is always the Perfect Father. (Tom McGrath)

Hymn:

This is the day, this is the day.                This is the day that the Lord has made.

That the Lord has made,                         I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I will rejoice, I will rejoice,                        That the Lord has made.

And be glad in it, and be glad in it.

Offertory:

Be still for the presence of the Lord.       Be still for the glory of the Lord

The Holy One is here.                             Is shining all around.

Come bow before Him now                        He burns with holy fire.

With reverence and fear.                                    With splendor he is crowned.

In him no sin is found.                              How awesome is the sight.

We stand on holy ground.                         Our radiant King of light.

Be still for the presence of the Lord       Be still the glory of the Lord

The Holy one is here                               Is shining all around..

Let them bring your forgiveness and         You desire to heal all our illness.

Lay your hands

As I Knee before you.         Chorus -

As I bow my head in prayer,        Gratia plena,                     Every dream and wish are yours,

Take this day, make it yours                       Dominus tecum.                 Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,

and fill me with your love.           Benedicta tu.                      Present them to my Lord.

Amazing Grace:

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound          T’was grace that taught my heart to fear,

that saved a wretch like me.                     and grace my fears relieved.

I once was lost but now I’m found,                          How precious did that grace appear

was blind, but now I see.                            the hour I first believed
