13th Sunday after Pentecost - Meditation & Propers
We have been initiated into spiritual life by the Sacrament of Baptism, and strengthened, perfected, by the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Feast of Pentecost has celebrated the efficaciousness of Baptism and Confirmation: the graces and fruits given by the Holy Ghost. The Church recalls in the Liturgy today the duty of charity which derives therefrom.
Introit: Ps. 73. 20, 19, 23
Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and forsake not to the end the souls of Thy poor: arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek Thee. - (Ps. 73. 1). O God, why hast Thou cast us off unto theend: why is Thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of Thy pasture? Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and forsake not to the end the souls of Thy poor: arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek Thee.
Collect:
O almighty and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of Faith, Hope, and Charity; and that we may deserve to obtain what Thou dost command. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth , with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Gradual: Ps. 73. 20, 19, 22
Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and forsake not to the end the souls of Thy poor. V. Arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause: remember the reproach of Thy servants. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps. 89. 1) O Lord, Thou hast been our refuge, from generation to generation. Alleluia.
Offertory: Ps. 30. 15, 16
In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped; I said, Thou art my God, my times are in Thy hands.
Secret:
Look graciously, O Lord, upon Thy people; graciously look upon our gifts, that, being appeased by this offering, Thou mayest both grant us pardon, and give us what we ask. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Communion: Wisdom 16. 20
Thou hast given us, O Lord, bread from heaven, having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste.
Postcommunion:
We, who have received the heavenly Sacraments, beseech Thee, O lord, that we may increasingly advance towards eternal redemption. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost livest and reignest forever.
My Daily Thought from the Following of Christ:
And they who attribute to God whatsoever good they have received, seek not glory from one another, but that glory which is from God alone; and they desire above all things that God may be praised in themselves, and in all the Saints, and to this they are always tending.
Recessional Hymn
Immaculate Mary, our hearts are on fire!
That title, so wondrous, fills all our desire.
(Chorus)
Ave, ave, ave, Maria!
Ave, ave, ave, Maria!
We pray for our Mother, the Church upon earth,
And bless, sweetest Lady, the land of our birth.
(Chorus)
O Mary! O Mother! Reign o'er us once more:
Be all lands thy dowry, as in days of yore.
(Chorus)
