  • Solemnity of Pentecost
    ORDER OF CELEBRATION FOR Solemnity of Pentecost May 23, 2021 *If you are worshipping with us from home, you are invited to sing the hymns. If you are with us at church, please refrain from singing out loud for everyone’s safety. The Introductory Rites OPENING HYMN Come, Holy Spirit, Wind and Fire Text by Alan J. Hommerding and Music by Henry F. Hemy Tune: ST CATHERINE GLORIA Mass for the People of God Chepponis The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Acts 2:1-11 When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.” PSALM Psalm 104 Lisicky SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 Brothers and sisters: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

  • Solemnity of Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord Today We Celebrate the Central Mystery of Our Christian Faith, the Re
    Solemnity of Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord Today we celebrate the central mystery of our Christian faith, the resurrection of Jesus and his triumph over the power of death. Acts 10:34. 37-43 Peter speaks to the household members of the Roman centurion Cornelius. He gives an outline of the story of Jesus and emphasises that his preaching is trustworthy as he has experienced the risen Jesus for himself. Colossians 3:1-4 Our life as Christians should be centred on the person of the risen Christ, and this should influence the way we think and behave. Alternative Second Reading 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, our Passover. Now is the time for us to acknowledge this gratefully and live truly as Jesus’ disciples. John 20:1-9 Mary Magdalene finds the tomb of Jesus open and empty, and goes to inform Peter and the disciple Jesus loved. They visit the grave but only the beloved disciple understands what has happened. Reflection For us, Easter is the greatest feast of all. This is the day Jesus broke the chains of death and rose in triumph from the grave. This is truly the ‘Day of the Lord.’ But it is also our day, for Jesus shares with us the fruits of his victory. Let us open our hearts to the joy of this great day. The reading from the Acts of the Apostles is part of an early sermon that Peter gave. In it he summarises the ministry of Jesus, which culminated in his death.

This Calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The Calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by the Holy See, and the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.1 This Calendar has been updated to reflect the names and titles of the various liturgical days in conformity with the Roman Missal, Third Edition. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are celebrated so as to be in some way made present.” Thus may each celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this Calendar be for the Church in the United States of America “the high point both of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.”2 Sincerely in Christ, Rev.
