Welcome to Our Visitors

Thank you for sharing in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with us today. Please fill out a visitor’s card (found in the pew racks) and return it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit. And please introduce yourself after Mass.

If you are a Catholic, we at Our Lady of Walsingham receive Holy Communion kneeling and by intinction (both species on the tongue).

If you are not a Catholic, during Communion we invite you either to come forward with your arms crossed over your chest, or fingers across your lips, and receive a blessing from the Priest or Deacon, or remain in your pew and reflect on the presence of Christ.

Prayer Intention of the Holy Father, Let us pray that those in charge of finance will work with governments to regulate the financial sphere and protect citizens from its dangers.

Whitsunday Before He went up to the Father, Jesus said, “It is expedient for you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you” (John 16:7). After Christ’s Ascension, His Blessed Mother, the Apostles, and other disciples of Jesus dedicated themselves to prayer in the Cenacle for nine days until the Holy Ghost descended upon them in tongues of fire. As promised, the Paraclete was poured out upon the Church gathered in prayer around Mary. And so the Holy Spirit still abides with us as the very of the mystical Body of Christ that is the Church, vitalizing and in- dwelling all its members and operations. We celebrate the birthday of the Church, the great solemnity of Pentecost, seven weeks after the Resurrection, on the fiftieth day, known in the Jewish tradition as the “jubilee octave” (i.e., 7 × 7 + 1). With Easter, the liturgical ob- servance of the coming of the Holy Ghost is the most ancient of all Christian holy days. This festival is also called Whitsunday, especially in and northern Europe, on account of the white robes worn by the newly bap- tized on this day set aside, like the Easter Vigil, for christenings. Though the week following Pentecost is kept as the Whitsun Octave, this festival does not inaugurate a new season; rather, it concludes Paschal time and marks off the first half of the liturgical year. Second in dignity only to Easter, Pentecost is one of the few solemnities with special propers appointed for its vigil, and the principal Mass is to be celebrated with the utmost reverence. On this day, for one last time at the close of Eastertide, Solemn Mass begins with the Vidi aquam and the rite of sprinkling holy water. At the chanting of the Alleluia verse, Emitte Spiritum, it is traditional to genuflect at the invo- cation of the Holy Spirit. And then just before the Gospel we all sing the medieval sequence hymn Veni Sancte Spiritus, also known as The Golden Sequence: “Come, thou Holy Spirit, come.” (The 1940 Hymnal gives us this great hymn in the memorable translation by Edward Caswall, the Anglican who converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1847.) At the end of Mass on Pentecost, concluding the Easter season, the Paschal Candle is formally extinguished before being taken to the baptistery where it remains until the next liturgical year begins with Advent.
