5th Sunday after Pentecost - Meditation & Propers
The liturgy presents to us today a great lesson in Christian charity. We must live in union with one another. We are the children of God, and we must love Him in our neighbor, who participates as we do in the divine nature.
Introit: Ps. 26. 1, 2
Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to Thee: be Thou my helper, forsake me not, nor do Thou despise me, O God, my Savior. -(Ps. 26. 1). The Lord is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I fear? V. 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: be Thou my helper, forsake me not, nor do Thou despise me, O God, my Savior.
Collect:
O God, who hast prepared for them that love Thee such good things as passunderstanding: pour into our hearts such love towards Thee, that we, lovingThee in all things, and above all things, may obtain Thy promises whichexceed all that we can desire. 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. 86. 10, 9
Behold, O God our protector, and look on Thy servants. V. O Lord Go ofhosts, give ear to the payers of Thy servants. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps. 20. 1).In Thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in Thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly. Alleluia.
Offertory: Ps. 15. 7, 8
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: I set God always inmy sight; for He is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
Secret:
Be merciful, O Lord, to our humble pleading: and favorably receive theseofferings of Thy servants and handmaidens, that what each of us has offered tothe honor of Thy Name, may profit us all unto salvation. 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. 24. 4
One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell inthe house of the Lord all the days of my life.
Postcommunion:
Grant, O Lord, we beseech Thee, that we whom Thou hast fed with theheavenly Gift, may be cleansed from our hidden sins and delivered from thesnares of our enemies. 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:
Desire to be intimate only with God and His holy Angels; and shun theacquaintance of men. We should have charity towards all men; but intimacy isnot expedient.
Recessional Hymn
Faith of our fathers! Living still iIn spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy whene'er we hear that glorious word:
(Chorus) Faith of our fathers! Holy Faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, were still in heart and conscience free,
How sweet would be their children's fate, If they, like them, could die for thee!
(Chorus)
Faith of our fathers! Mary's prayers shall win our country back to thee:
And through the truth that comes from God, Our land shall then indeed be free.
(Chorus)
