Alternative Verses for Ordinary Time 1. The word of the Lord lasts forever. What is the word that is living? It is brought to us through his Son, Jesus Christ.

"I call you friends," says the Lord, "you who are my disciples. I make known to you all I've learned from my Father."

2. God brings the world to himself now through Christ his reconciling: he has trusted us with the news of redeeming love.

"The sheep of my flock," says the Lord, "hearing my voice, they will listen; they will follow me, for I know them, they are mine."

3. The word of the Lord is alive, the word of God is active— it can judge our thoughts, bring us closer to the Father.

"Even if you have to die, close to my word keep faithful; for your faithfulness I will give you the crown of life."

4. Father, of all you are blest, creator of earth and heaven, for the mysteries of the kingdom shown to children.

Stay awake, pray at all times, praying that you may be strengthened, that with confidence you can meet the Son of Man.

Alternative Verses for Easter 1. Give thanks to the Lord, he is good. The love of the Lord knows no ending. Sons of Israel, say: "His love has no end."

Now he is living, the Christ Out of the tomb he is risen; he has conquered death— opened heaven to all believers.

2. The right hand of God raised me up. The hand of the Lord has triumphed. I shall never die—I shall live telling his deeds.

He is the first fruits from death. Now are our lives filled with glory! Darkness vanished in the light of his power.

3. The stone which the builders rejected becomes the cornerstone chosen. Praise the work of God for this marvel in our eyes! Marian Feasts Blessed are you among women, Blest is your Son, the Lord Jesus, you have shown to us, Hope of Heaven, Joy of Life.

Pentecost Send us your Spirit, O Lord; Fire of Love burn within us. With your sevenfold gifts, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts. Fintan O'Catroll (d. 1977) and Christopher Walker tt and music © 1985, Fintan O'Carroll and Christopher Walker, pub. by OCP
