Sunday after the Ascension - Meditation & Propers
Let us, like the Apostles gathered together, prepare in prayer for the holy day of Pentecost; let us pray, as the Church prescribes, for the return of heretics to unity.
Introit: Ps. 26. 7-9
Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to Thee, alleluia; my heart hath said to Thee, I have sought Thy face, Thy face, O Lord, I will seek: turn not away Thy face from me, alleluia, alleluia. -(Ps. 26. 1). The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to Thee, alleluia; my heart hath said to Thee, I have sought Thy face, Thy face, O Lord, I will seek: turn not away Thy face from me, alleluia, alleluia.
Collect:
O almighty and everlasting God, make us bear towards Thee always a devoted will, and serve Thy Majesty with a sincere heart. 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:
Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps. 46. 9). The Lord hath reigned over all the nations; God sitteth on His holy throne. Alleluia. V. (John. 14. 18). I will not leave you orphans: I go away, and I come unto you, and your heart shall rejoice. Alleluia.
Offertory: Ps. 46. 6
God is ascended with a shout, and the Lord with the sound of a trumpet, alleluia.
Secret:
May these spotless Sacrifices purify us, O Lord, and give to our minds the strength of heavenly grace. 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: John 17. 12, 13, 15
Father, while I was with them, I kept them whom Thou gavest Me, alleluia; but now I come to Thee: I pray not that Thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldst keep them from evil, alleluia, alleluia.
Postcommunion:
Grant to us, we beseech Thee, almighty and merciful God, that we may obtain the invisible effects of that which we have shared by communion in visible Mysteries. 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:
But to be able to live peacefully with the hard and the perverse, or with the undisciplined and those who contradict us, is a great grace, and a highly commendable and manly thing.
Recessional Hymn
Hail, holy Queen!
Mother of mercy, our life our sweetness, And our hope eternal.
To thee we cry, 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 towards us,
And show unto us the blessed Fruit Of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin, Sweet Virgin Mary.
