Introit: The Spirit of the Lord has filled the whole world, alleluia; and that which contains all things, knows every language spoken by men, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. V. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let those who hate him flee before his face. (Wis 1:7; Ps 67:2)
Processional The Day of Pentecost Arrived The feast of Pentecost marks the 50th day after Easter, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples, giving them the gift of communication so they could spread the news about God and His church. ~James McCarthy, baritone, and Margaret-Mary Owens, organ Psalm 104 R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord, my God, you are great indeed! How manifold are your world, O Lord! the earth is full of your creatures. If you take away their breath, they perish and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord be glad in his world! Pleasing to him be my theme; I will be glad in the Lord. ~ Sofia Scattarreggia, soprano, and Margaret-Mary Owens, piano Sequence Veni Sancte Spiritus This sequence was preserved as one of four traditional sequences to be recited before the Gospel Acclamation on major feasts. The words of Holy Spirit, Lord Divine, are attributed to Pope Innocent III, 1161-1216, set to this traditional plainchant melody. ~ Sofia and Margaret Gospel Acclamation ~ Matt Alexander “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love.” (Jn 20: 19-23) Offertory Antiphon: Confirm, O God, that which you have accomplished in our midst; from your holy temple which is in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to you, alleluia. (Ps 62:2, 5) Come Down, O Love Divine Come down, O Love divine; Seek now this soul of mine, And visit it with your own ardor glowing. O Comforter, draw near, Within my heart appear, And kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. ~ Sofia and Margaret Communion Antiphon: Suddenly, a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, in the place where they were sitting, alleluia; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and announced the great things God had done, alleluia, alleluia. (Acts 2:2, 4) Each one of us has been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. May we be filled with the grace to choose the Spirit, not the flesh, that we may show forth love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Draw Near Draw near and take the body of your Lord, And drink the holy blood for you outpoured: Saved by his body and his holy blood, With souls refreshed we give our thanks to God. ~ Sofia and Margaret Recessional Come, Holy Ghost This translation of Veni, Creator Spiritus, is attributed to Rabanus Marusu, c 776-856. The melody was written by Louis Lambillotte, 1796-1855. Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, And in our hearts take up thy rest; Come with they grace and heav’nly aid To fill the hearts which thou hast made. ~ Sofia and Margaret
