12th 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. 69. 2, 3
Incline unto my aid, O God: O Lord, make haste to help me: let my enemies be confounded and ashamed, who seek my soul. - (Ps. 69. 4). Let them be turnedbackward and blush for shame, who desire evils to me. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Incline unto my aid, O God: O Lord, make haste to help me: let my enemies be confounded and ashamed, who seek my soul.
Collect:
O almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that Thy faithfulpeople do unto Thee worthy and laudable service: grant unto us, we beseechThee, that we may run without stumbling towards the attainment of Thy promises. 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. 33. 2, 3
I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall ever be in my mouth. V. Inthe Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear, and rejoice. Alleluia,alleluia. V. (Ps. 87. 2) O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried in the day,and in the night before Thee. Alleluia.
Offertory: Exodus 32. 11, 13, 14
Moses prayed in the sight of the Lord his God, and said: Why, O Lord, isThine indignation enkindled against Thy people? Let the anger of Thy mindcease; remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom Thou didst swear togive a land flowing with milk and honey. And the Lord was appeased fromdoing the evil which He had spoken of doing against His people.
Secret:
Graciously look upon the Sacrifices, we beseech Thee, O Lord, which wepresent upon Thine altar: that while they obtain pardon for us, they may givehonor to Thy Name. 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. 103. 13, 14, 15
The earth shall be filled with the fruit of Thy works, O Lord, that Thou mayestbring bread out of the earth, and that wine may cheer the heart of man; that hemay make the face cheerful with oil; and that bread may strengthen man's heart.
Postcommunion:
May the holy reception of this Mystery, we beseech Thee, O Lord, quicken us:and may it win for us both pardon and protection. 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.
Recessional Hymn
Hail Holy Queen enthroned above, O Maria!
O Mother of mercy and of love, O Maria!
(Chorus)
Triumph, all ye Cherubim, Sing with us, ye Seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!
Our life, our sweetness here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!
(Chorus)
