Sexagesima Sunday - Meditation & Propers
From the Marian Missel by Sylvester P Juergens, S.M.
From the Marian Missel by Sylvester P Juergens, S.M. Jesus is our Redeemer and by His saving doctrine gives life to souls.
Introit: Ps. 43, 23-26
Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arise, and cast us not off to the end. Why turnest Thou Thy face away, and forgettest our trouble? Our belly hath cleaved to the earth: arise, O Lord, help us and deliver us. - (Ps.43. 2). We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us. V.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arise, and cast us not off to the end. Why turnest Thou Thy face away, and forgettest our trouble? Our belly hath cleaved to the earth: arise, O Lord, help us and deliver us.
Collect:
O God, who seest that we put not our trust in any thing that we do: mercifully grant that by the protection of the Doctor of the Gentiles we may be defended against all adversities. 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.82. 19, 14
Let the Gentiles know that God is Thy Name: Thou alone art the Most High over all the earth. V. O my God, make them like a wheel, and as stubble before the wind.
Tract Ps. 59. 4, 6
Thou hast moved the earth, O Lord, and hast troubled it. V. Heal Thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved. V. That they may flee from before the bow: that Thine elect may be delivered.
Offertory: Ps. 16. 5-7
Perfect Thou my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps be not moved: incline Thine ear, and hear my words: show forth Thy wonderful mercies, Thou who savest them that trust in Thee, O Lord.
Secret:
May the Sacrifice offered to Thee, O Lord, ever quicken us and protect us. 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: Ps. 42, 4
I will go in to the altar of God, to God who giveth joy to my youth.
Postcommunion:
We humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, to grant that they whom Thou dost refresh with Thy Sacraments, may worthily serve Thee by lives well-pleasing to Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen
My Daily Thought from the Following of Christ:
"He that followeth Me, walketh not in darkness," saith the Lord. These are the words of Christ, whereby we are admonished how we must imitate His life and conversation, if we would be truly enlightened and delivered from all blindness of heart. Let it, then, be our chief study to meditate on the life of Jesus Christ.
Recessional Hymn
Hail! Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, Our life, our sweetness, and our hope eternal.
To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve.
To thee we come and mourn, in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin, sweet virgin, Mary.
