A Celebration of The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary August 15, 2020

OPENING SENTENCES (Make the at the beginning words.) HYMN “Hail, Holy Queen Enthroned Above” – arr. by Charles Thatcher Hail, holy Queen enthroned above, O Maria. Hail, Queen of mercy and of love, O Maria. Triumph, all ye cherubim: sing with us, ye seraphim. Heav’n and earth resound the hymn: salve, salve, salve Regina. The cause of joy to us below, O Maria. The spring through which all graces flow, O Maria. Angels, all your praises bring: earth and heaven with us sing. All creation echoing: salve, salve, salve Regina. O gentle, loving, holy one, O Maria. The God of light became your Son, O Maria. Triumph, all ye cherubim: sing with us, ye seraphim. Heav’n and earth resound the hymn: salve, salve, salve Regina. PSALM 113 Mary has been taken up into heaven; the angels rejoice, praising the Lord together and blessing him, alleluia. Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! May the name of the Lord be blessed both now and for evermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting praised be the name of the Lord! High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens his glory. Who is like the Lord, our God, who has risen on high to his throne yet stoops from the heights to look down, to look down upon heaven and earth? He takes up the weak out of the dust and lifts up the poor from the ashes, to set them in the company of rulers, with rulers of his people. Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Antiphon Mary has been taken up into heaven; the angels rejoice, praising the Lord together and blessing him, alleluia. READING Revelation 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab (Brief silence for meditation.) RESPONSE TO THE WORD OF GOD The Lord has chosen her, his loved one from the beginning, alleluia, alleluia. (repeated) He has taken her to live with him, his loved one from the beginning, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. The Lord has chosen her, his loved one from the beginning, alleluia, alleluia. CANTICLE “” Setting by John Ferguson My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. he has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of this mercy, according to the promise made to our ancestors, to Abraham and his descendants forever, forevermore.
