COMMUNION ANTIPHONS PLEASE SING! What are those Communion Antiphons the cantors and scholae keep singing? These Gregorian Chants are from the Roman Missal. Each day, a scripture verse and psalm are prescribed to be read or sung at Holy Communion. Notice how they are very similar to the Responsorial Psalm? The cantor or schola sing verses, while a short refrain is sung between psalm verses. You, the congregation, are to sing the refrain that is your part! Please join us in singing these beautiful Gregorian Chants. We are singing the Mass, in union with Catholics everywhere!

Below is an ideal prayer for this day, as well as any time you are near a crucifix. Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Your face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul pray and beseech You to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment; while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Your five wounds, pondering over them within me, and calling to mind the words which, long ago, David the prophet spoke in Your own person concerning You, my Jesus They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones
