Blessed be the Holy Trinity and its undivided Unity; we shall ever give him thanks, for he has dealt with us according to his mercy. V. O Lord, our Governor, how admirable is your name in all the earth! (Tob 12:6; ps 8:2) Processional Come, Our Almighty King On this first Sunday after Pentecost, we celebrate the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, three persons, yet one in substance. Our hymns today teach us about the mysterious nature of the trinity. ~ James McCarthy, baritone, and Margaret-Mary Owens, organ Psalm 33 R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own Upright is the word of the Lord, and all his works are trustworthy. He loves justice and right; of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host. For he spoke, and it was made; he commanded, and it stood forth. See, the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him, upon those who hope for his kindness, to deliver them from earth and preserve them in spite of famine. Our soul waits for the Lord, who is our help and our shield. May your kindness, O Lord, be upon us who have put our hope in you. ~ James and Margaret Gospel Acclamation ~ Matt Alexander “Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come.” (Cf. Rv 1:8) Offertory Antiphon: Blessed be God the Father, and the only begotten Son of God, and the Holy Spirit; for he has dealt with us according to his mercy. (Tob 12:6) How Wonderful the Three-in-One How wonderful the Three-in-One, Whose energies of dancing light Are undivided, pure, and good, Communing love in shared delight! ~ James and Margaret Communion Antiphon: All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth, alleluia; go therefore and teach all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, alleluia, alleluia. (Mt 28:18-19) Let the Hungry Come to Me We are encouraged to approach our Father with humility. We might not fully understand the mystery surrounding the trinity, but it is because of charity and not intrigue that God allows us just enough understanding to reach Heaven (along with so many graces and sacraments to right ourselves again and again!). Only in Heaven will we be in a state to see and understand God in his fullness. ~ James and Margaret Recessional Sing Your Praises to the Father Sing your praises to the Father, Sing your praises to the Son, Sing your praises to the Spirit, Living and eternal One. God has made us, God has blessed us, God has called us to be true; God is Lord of all creation, Daily making all things new. ~ James and Margaret
