Gathering Song: Come Holy Ghost

1 Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, 3. O Holy Ghost, through thee alone,

And in our hearts take up thy rest; Know we the Father and the Son;

Come with thy grace and heav'nly aid Be this our firm unchanging creed,

To fill the hearts which thou hast made, That thou dost from them both proceed,

To fill the hearts which thou hast made. That thou dost from them both proceed.

2 O Comforter, to thee we cry, 4. Praise be the thee, Father and Son,

Thou heav'nly gift of God most high, And Holy Spirit, with them one;

Thou font of life and fire of love, And may the Son on us bestow

And sweet anointing from above, The gifts that from the Spirit flow,

And sweet anointing from above The gifts that from the Spirit flow. Amen

LITURGY OF THE WORD

Responsorial Psalm 104 setting by: Owen Alstott

Sequence

Holy Spirit, Lord Divine, Left without your presence here,

Come, from heights of heav’n and shine. Life itself would disappear,

Come with blessed radiance bright! Nothing thrives apart from you!

Come, O Father of the Cleanse our soiled hearts of sin,

Come, whose treasured gifts endure. Arid souls refresh within,

Come, our heart’s unfailing light! Wounded lives to health restore!

Of consolers, wisest, best, Bend the stubborn heart and will,

And our souls’ most welcome guest, Melt the frozen, warm the chill,

Sweet refreshment, sweet repose. Guide the wayward home once more!

In our labor rest most sweet, On the faithful who are true

Pleasant coolness in the heat, And profess their faith in you,

Consolation in our woes. In your sev’n-fold gift descend!

Light most blessed, shine with grace Give us virtue’s sure reward,

In our heart’s most secret place, Give us your salvation, Lord,

Fill your faithful through and through! Give us joys that never end!

Preparation of the Gifts: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

1.Let all mortal flesh keep silence, 2.King of kings, yet born of Mary, And with fear and trembling stand; As of old on earth he stood, Ponder nothing earthly-minded, Lord of lords, in human vesture, For with blessing in his hand, In the Body and the Blood; Christ our God to earth descending, He will give to all the faithful Our full homage to demand. His own self for heavenly food.

Anima Christi

Anima Christi, sanctifica me. Corpus Christi, salva me.

Sanguis Christi, inebria me. Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me.

Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
