Entrance:
1. Hail
the day that sees him rise, Alleluia!
To
his throne above the skies; Alleluia!
Christ,
the Lamb for sinners giv’n, Alleluia!
Now
ascends the highest heav'n. Alleluia!
2. There
the glorious triumph waits; Alleluia!
Lift
your heads, eternal gates; Alleluia!
Christ
has conquered death and sin; Alleluia!
Take
the King of glory in! Alleluia!

Presentation:
1. Come
down, O Love divine,
Seek
now this soul of mine,
And
visit it with your own ardor glowing;
O
Comforter, draw near,
Within
my heart appear,
And
kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2. O
let it freely burn,
Till
earthly passions turn
To
dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And
let your glorious light
Shine
ever on my sight,
And
clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3. And
so the yearning strong,
With
which the soul will long,
Shall
far outpass the power of human telling;
For
none can guess Love’s grace
Till
it become the place
Wherein
the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.
Text: Discendi, Amor Santo; Bianco da Siena,
d.c. 1434; tr. by Richard F. Littledale, 1833-1890
Communion:
1. You,
Lord, are both Lamb and Shepherd.
You,
Lord, are both prince and slave.
You,
peacemaker and sword-bringer
Of
the way you took and gave.
You,
the everlasting instant;
You
whom we both scorn and crave.
2. Clothed
in light upon the mountain,
Stripped
of might upon the cross,
Shining
in eternal glory,
Beggar’d
by a soldier’s toss.
You,
the everlasting instant;
You,
who are both gift and cost.
3. You,
who walk each day beside us,
Sit
in power at God’s side.
You,
who preach a way that’s narrow,
Have
a love that reaches wide.
You,
the everlasting instant;
You,
who are our pilgrim guide.
4. Worthy
is our earthly Jesus!
Worthy
is our cosmic Christ!
Worthy
your defeat and vict’ry.
Worthy
still your peace and strife.
You,
the everlasting instant;
You,
who are our death and life.

Recessional:
1. Sing we triumphant hymns
of praise
To
greet our Lord these festive days,
Alleluia,
Alleluia!
Who
by a road before untrod
Ascended
to the throne of God,
Alleluia,
Alleluia…
2. In wond’ring awe his faithful
band
Upon
the Mount of Olives stand.
Alleluia,
Alleluia!
And
with the Virgin Mother see
Their
Lord ascend in majesty.
Alleluia,Alleluia,...

OBERAMMERGAU
– AUSTRIA AND BAVARIA 2022 WITH FATHER MICHAEL
Pilgrimage
packages for the 2022 Oberammergau Passion Play are now available for a limited
time! In 2020, the famed performance depicting the Passion of Christ, drawing
hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from across the globe, had to be postponed
due to COVID-19. Now, it is harder to get tickets for the 2022 performance than
ever before!
Peter's
Way Tours still has space available on our PILGRIMAGE July 28 – August 6, 2022 to
the once-a-decade event. Join us and attend a showing that has been re-scheduled,
something that has happened only a handful of times in the play's long history.
This will indeed be a special and historic pilgrimage that few people ever get
to make! Here is a graced opportunity to pray for us and for our world,
enjoying along the way wonderful shrines and sights.
For
more information call Father Michael or contact Peter’s Way Tours (note – if the
dates do not work for you there are other tours to choose from) peter@petersway.com or 800-225-7662.
