Below is a list of songs that will be sung during Sunday Mass.

Stand in Your Love

When darkness tries to roll over my bones
When sorrow comes to steal the joy I own
When brokenness and pain is all I know
I won’t be shaken, no, I won’t be shaken

‘Cause my fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

Shame no longer has a place to hide
And I am not a captive to the lies
I’m not afraid to leave my past behind
Oh, I won’t be shaken, no, I won’t be shaken

My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
Oh, I’m standing

There’s power that can break off every chain
There’s power that can empty out a grave
There’s resurrection power that can save
There’s power in Your name, power in Your name

My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before You,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

All Your works with joy surround You,
Earth and heaven reflect Your rays,
Stars and angels sing around You,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!

Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God’s own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

We Come to You

By Your body and blood,
By Your life and Your love; Renew us.
May Your sacrifice be forgiveness in me;
Heal us.

We come to You.
We come to You broken, hungry.
We come to You. We come to You.
Make us whole again.

In the body of Christ we are brought to new life;
Restore us. May the flesh that we eat and the blood that we drink save us.

We come to You. We come to You broken, hungry.

We come to You. We come to You. Make us whole again.

By Your love, by Your grace, we are one.

Great Are You Lord

You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord

It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only

You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord

It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only

It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only

And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord

It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only…

Beautiful Is Your Love

Beautiful Is Your Love – Josh Blakesley Band
Oh how beautiful is your love for me
Oh what joy is mine in this mystery
I will not fear the dark
Here in the presence of your heart
Oh how beautiful is your love

Oh how wonderful is your offering
Lamb laid down for me on compassion’s tree
How could I turn away
From the mercy of your face
Oh how wonderful is your love

Jesus, Jesus
Oh how beautiful is your love
Jesus, Jesus
Oh how beautiful is your love

So miraculous is your sacrifice
Body broken here that I might have life
Take everything I hold
Let me be yours alone
So miraculous is your love

Hope Comes Alive

Can you hear the silence breaking?
Every voice in one accord
Making way for the King of Glory
And everything He has in store
Lift up your voice and sing, and welcome royalty now

Can you feel the darkness tremble?
Host of heaven gathered round
Unified we stand in, raising up one glorious sound
Lift up your voice and sing, let’s welcome royalty now

This is where hope comes alive!
This is where love changes lives!
Where grateful hearts start to rise!
They rise! They rise!
This is where faith moves our feet!
Where broken things are redeemed!
Your presence is breath and life!
This is where hope comes alive!

Every breath is now an anthem
Every sound, one glorious song
Every word like incense rising
In the presence of our God!
Lift up your voice and sing, let’s welcome royalty

This is where hope comes alive!
This is where love changes lives!
Where grateful hearts start to rise!
They rise! They rise!
This is where faith moves our feet!
Where broken things are redeemed!
Your presence is breath and life!
This is where hope comes alive!

Dry bones stand up and move your feet
Dead hearts wake up and start to beat

This is is where hope comes alive!
This is where love changes lives!
Where grateful songs start to rise!
They rise! They rise!
This is where faith moves our feet!
Where broken things are redeemed!
Your presence is breath and life!
This is where hope comes alive!

Final Feedback

1. Ask the person if anyone has ever prayed with them before. If not, first explain prayer ministry and intercession: It is asking someone to pray for them, and instead of the other person praying alone later, he or she will pray for them out loud right away.  
2. Ask them if there is anything specific on their heart for which they would like prayers.  
3. Begin with prayers of gratitude for the person, for God’s love of them, and for what God is doing in their heart.  
4. Offer their intentions out loud. Always bring them to Christ and direct your prayer and focus to him. 
5. Note: If a Scripture or an image comes to mind that might be helpful for the person, discern whether it will be received well. If you decide to share it, make sure to explain that God will sometimes speak through Scripture or images and encourage them to continue to pray with it and see how God is speaking to them through it.  
6. Close the time with a prayer that can be prayed out loud together (Hail Mary, Our Father, Glory Be, etc.).  
7. Encourage them to continue to seek God in prayer. Also, encourage them to continue to talk with someone about what God is doing in their life and, if needed, help them to seek additional help through counseling, spiritual direction, mentorship, etc. 

Many parents find it difficult to start faith discussions with their teens. Often, it is something that was not a part of their own upbringings. If this is you, here are a few tips to help to ease any of your worries about having a fruitful faith-based discussion with your children:

• Say a prayer to the Holy Spirit to inspire and guide your children and help them to be open to his grace.
• Young people have profound spiritual hunger. While they might not have a strong devotion to the Catholic faith, they are looking for meaning and purpose in their lives. Talking to them about their thoughts and feelings regarding the faith helps them to seek and find the answers they need.
• Even teens who are engaged in their faith have many deep questions and concerns. Being a young person today is hard. Much of what is going on in their lives is hiding beneath a veneer of “having it all together.” Sometimes it only takes one question and one moment for them to let you into their lives.
• Despite what many in the media say, you still are the strongest influence on your children. Even just asking a question communicates that you care.
• Give your teens freedom to be honest. Their answers may not be perfect, but you want honesty and authenticity. Affirm their honesty.
• Spend more time listening than talking during small group time.
• Be authentic about your own spiritual journey. Share about your faith when you were a teen. Answer the questions honestly along with your teens.
• Be patient with your children if they don’t open up to you right away.

Two Truths & A Lie

This game is ideal for 10-15 people, but if you have a larger gathering, divide people up into teams so it doesn’t take longer than 15-20 minutes to get through everyone. This can be done in person or virtually!

1. To get started, explain the game to the group. Let them know that each person will introduce themselves by stating two truths and one lie. They don’t have to be intimate, life-revealing things, just simple hobbies, interests, or past experiences that make each person unique. The lie can be outrageous, wacky, or sound like a truth, making it even harder for the other participants who have to guess which statement is a lie.
2. Each person goes one at a time; the group has to guess which statements are true and which statement is a lie. It’s up to your group whether to keep score or just play for fun to get to know each other.

 

Individual Prayer

• Share your prayer intentions through the Steubenville Live app. We will offer these intentions at Mass during the conference. Pray for the intentions that others have shared! This is an opportunity to be connected through prayer while physically apart.  

• Ask your parents or siblings to pray with you. You can share your intentions out loud and end with an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.  

---

Family/Group Prayer

• Invite everyone to share their own prayer intentions.  
• If everyone is comfortable, one person can open with a prayer, and each person can pray specifically for their intentions in their own words.  
• Pray the Litany of Trust, Rosary, or the Divine Mercy Chaplet together. (The “Prayers” button on the Steubenville Live app provides these and many other prayers that can be prayed out loud together!)
