Graduale Romanum Introit (ABC= Psalm 12:6+1) Dómine, * in tua misericórdia sperávi: exsultávit cor meum in salutári tuo: cantábo Domino, qui bona tríbuit mihi. PS. Úsquequo Dómine obliviscéris me in finem? úsquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me? (O Lord, I have placed my trust in your merciful love; my heart has rejoiced in your salva-tion. I will sing unto the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me. PS. How long will you forget me, O Lord? Forever? How long will you hide your countenance from me?) GR Offertory (ABC= Psalm 5:3,4) Inténde * voci oratiónis meae, Rex meus, et Deus meus: quóniam ad te orábo, Dómine. (Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God, for it is you, O Lord, whom I implore.) GR Communion (ABC= Psalm 9:2,3) Narrábo * ómnia mirabília tua: laetábor, et exsultábo in te: psallam nómini tuo, Altíssime. (I will relate all your wondrous deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing to the honour of your name, O Most High.) Music Notes (Ed Teixeira, organist): Sun at 11 am at Offertory the choir sings a Johann Sebastian Bach setting of Psalm 143 verse 2. The text (Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht mit deinem Knecht.

“A group from the Holy Land (Bethlehem & Jerusa-lem) will be selling religious articles after masses to support the Catholic Christian minorities in Bethle-hem. As a tradition, many of the Catholic families in the Holy Land work in small workshops to produce religious articles from olive wood. These articles represent the Christian art of the Holy Land. In the past, they used to sell their artwork to pilgrims who visit the Holy Land. However, these days they are facing an economic hardship as very few tourists visit the Holy Land due to security issues. Many of the Catholic families immigrated and left the Holy Land. The percentage of Christians in the Holy Land has dropped from 20% to less than 1%. There-fore, if this hardship continues as it is now, we believe that in a few years, there will be no Catholics in Bethlehem or Jerusalem. The struggle to preserve the Catholic identity of the birthplace of our savior; Jesus Christ is a serious concern for Catholics around the world. Sales will be used to help and support the Catholics in the Holy Land and to encourage them not to immigrate.”
