INAUGURATION OF THE
BLESSED SACRAMENT CHAPEL
After the communion the ciborium containing the Blessed Sacrament
is left on the table of the altar. The Bishop goes to the chair, and all
sing the Song of Praise.
As is customary during this time a collection is taken up to support
the works and ministries of the new parish.
Christ, be our Light
Bernadette Farrell
Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people.
Light for the world to see.
Refrain:
Christ be our light! Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ be our light!
Shine in the church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has power to save us.
Make us your living voice.
R.
Many the gifts, many the people,
Many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
Making your kingdom come.
R.
