Communion Motets - Sicut cervus Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina ( ) (Cathedral Choir) As the deer yearns for the water springs: so longs my soul for thee, O God! Most Glorious Lord of Life Edmund Spencer ( ) (Cathedral Choir) Most glorious Lord of Life, that on this day Didst make Thy triumph over death and sin, And having harrowed hell, didst bring away Captivity thence captive, us to win. This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin, And grant that we for whom Thou diddest die, Being with Thy dear blood clean washed from sin, May live forever in felicity. And that Thy love we weighing worthily, May likewise love Thee for the same again; And for Thy sake, for Thy sake, that all like dear didst buy, With love may one another entertain. So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought; Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught. Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, robed in light as with a cloak. You fixed the earth upon its foundation, not to be moved forever; with the ocean, as with a garment, you covered it; above the mountains the waters stood. You send forth springs into the watercourses that wind among the mountains. Beside them the birds of heaven dwell; from among the branches they send forth their song. You water the mountains from your palace; the earth is replete with the fruit of your works. You raise grass for the cattle, and vegetation for man s use, Producing bread from the earth. How manifold are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you have wrought them all the earth is full of your creatures. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Alleluia. [Psalm 104 : 1-2, 5-6, 10, 12, 13-14, 24, 35] Prayer Second Reading - Exodus 14: 15-15: 1 Psalm - Exodus 15 - Let Us Sing to the Lord Michel Guimont I will sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot he has cast into the sea. My strength and my courage is the LORD, and he has been my savior. He is my God, I praise him; the God of my father, I extol him. The LORD is a warrior, LORD is his name! Pharaoh s chariots and army he hurled into the sea; the elite of his officers were submerged in the Red Sea. The flood waters covered them, they sank into the depths like a stone. Your right hand, O LORD, magnificent in power, your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy. You brought in the people You redeemed and planted them on the mountain of Your inheritance the place where You made your seat, O LORD, the sanctuary, LORD, which Your hands established. The LORD shall reign forever and ever. [Psalm 15: 1-2, 10,12, 13-14, 24,35]

4 Third Reading - Isaiah 55 : 1-11 Preface Sanctus - Community Mass Richard Proulx Psalm - Isaiah 12 - You Will Draw Water Joyfully Michel Guimont God indeed is my savior; I am confident and unafraid. My strength and my courage is the Lord, and he has been my savior. With joy you will draw water at the fountain of salvation. Give thanks to the Lord, acclaim his name; among the nations make known his deeds, proclaim how exalted is his name. Sing praise to the Lord for his glorious achievement; let this be known throughout all the earth. Shout with exultation, O city of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel! [Isaiah 12: 2-3, 4, 5-6] Prayer Mystery of Faith Cantor then All: Amen Mass of Creation - Marty Haugen

5 LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Gloria John Lee Preparation of the Altar and Gifts Chant - Dextera Domini Chant-Mode II (Gentlemen of the Cathedral Choir) The Lord s right hand has shown the strength, the Lord s right hand has exalted me. I shall not die, but live; and I shall declare the works of the Lord. [Psalm 117 : 16-17] Motet - Exultate Justi Ludovico Viadana ( ) (Cathedral Choir) Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just; praise befits the upright. Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just; praise becometh the upright. [Psalm 33 : 1] [Ful bert of Chartre ( )] Guidelines for the Reception of Holy Communion In the Sacred Liturgy, Catholics in a state of grace who have fasted for one hour (except for water and medication) come forward at the Communion Procession to receive Holy Communion. The reception of Holy Communion is an outward sign of the unity in the Catholic faith. Please remember that the Sacred Host must be consumed immediately in front of the minister. We do not have intercommunion with other Christian communities. However, we are very grateful for your presence here and suggest that those members of other Christian communities use this time for quiet prayer, especially for Christian unity. Epistle - Romans 6 : 3-11
