3rd Sunday after Pentecost - Meditation & Propers
From the Marian Missel by Sylvester P Juergens, S.M.
Jesus, our Redeemer, is God: He works wonders; the Angels of heaven adore Him; Jews and Gentiles will be obliged to recognize His royal Divinity.
Introit: Ps. 96. 7,8
Adore God, all you His Angels: Sion heard, and was glad: and the daughters of Juda rejoiced. - (Ps.96.1). The Lord hath reigned let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Adore God, all you His Angels: Sion heard, and was glad: and the daughters of Juda rejoiced. - (Ps.96.1). The Lord hath reigned let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
Collect:
O almighty and everlasting God, look though mercifully upon our weakness: and stretch forth the right hand of Thy Majesty to 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.
Gradual: Ps.101. 16-17
The Gentiles shall fear Thy Name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory. V. For the Lord hath built up Sion: and He shall be seen in His glory. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps 96.1). The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. Alleluia.
Offertory: Ps.117. 16, 17
The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: I shall not die, but live, and shall declare the works of the Lord.
Secret:
May these offerings, we beseech Thee, O Lord, cleanse us from our sins, and sanctify the bodies and minds of Thy servants for the celebration of this Sacrifice. 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: Luke 5. 22
All wondered at these things which proceeded from the mouth of God.
Postcommunion:
Vouchsafe, O Lord, we beseech Thee, to make us, who of Thy bounty frequent such great mysteries, truly disposed to obtain the benefits of the same. 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:
Confiding, O Lord, in Thy goodness, and in Thy great mercy, I come sick to my Savior, hungry and thirsty to the Fountain of life, needy to the King of heaven, a servant to my Lord, a creature to my Creator, and one in desolation to my loving Comforter.
Recessional Hymn
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught is all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought by day and by night; Waking or sleeping, Thy Presence my Light.
Be Thou my wisdom, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, I Thy dear son; Thou in me dwelling, I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my High Tower: Raise Thou me heavenward, Pow'r of my power.
