18th Sunday after Pentecost - Meditation & Propers
From the Marian Missel by Sylvester P Juergens, S.M.
The liturgy today alludes to the ordinations of Ember Saturday. Christ is our Savior, and the priests of the Church are made rich in Him. The Church is blessed abundantly in and through Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Introit: Eccles. 36. 18
Give peace, O Lord, to them that patiently wait for Thee, that Thy prophets may be found faithful: hear the prayers of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel. - (Ps. 121. 1). I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: we shall go into the house of the Lord. 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. Give peace, O Lord, to them that patiently wait for Thee...
Collect:
Let the exercise of Thy compassion, we beseech Thee, O Lord, direct our hearts: for without Thee we are not able to please Thee. 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. 121. 1, 7
I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of our Lord. V. Let peace be in thy strength, and abundance in thy towers. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps. 101. 16). The Gentiles shall fear Thy Name, O Lord: and all the kings of the earth Thy glory. Alleluia.
Offertory: Exodus 24. 4, 5
Moses consecrated an altar to the Lord, offering upon it holocausts, and sacrificing victims: he made an evening sacrifice to the Lord God for an odor of sweetness, in the sight o the children of Israel.
Secret:
O God, Who, by Thy venerable intercourse with us in this Sacrifice, dost make us partakers of the one Supreme Godhead: grant, we beseech Thee, that as we know Thy truth, so we may follow it by worthy lives. 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. 95. 8, 9
Bring up sacrifices, and come into His courts: adore ye the Lord in His holy court.
Postcommunion:
We who are fed with Thy holy Gift, O Lord, do offer our thanks unto Thee: beseeching Thy mercy that Thou mayest make us worthy to share in it. 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:
If thou desirest too inordinately these present things, thou wilt lose those that are heavenly and eternal. Use temporal things, but desire eternal. Thou canst not be satisfied with any temporal goods, because thou wast not created for their enjoyment.
Recessional Hymn
Mother of Providence, Virgin most holy, Here at thy feet we kneel, Virgin most holy;
Queen of the Universe, guide and protect us, Mother of Providence, Mother of mankind.
(Chorus)
Queen of our home, oh Mother of Providence, Queen of our hearts, Oh, Mother of God,
Oh, take thou us 'neath thy mantle of blue, Take us beneath thy mantle of blue.
We came to thee today, Mother of Providence, To ask thy loving aid, Virgin most holy.
Hear us and pray for us, Virgin most holy, Grant us the grace to know Jesus, our King.
(Chorus)
Queen of our home, oh Mother of Providence, Queen of our hearts, Oh, Mother of God,
Oh, take thou us 'neath thy mantle of blue, Take us beneath thy mantle of blue.
