The Liturgy of the Word

First Reading Acts 6: 1-7

As the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit, also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hands on them. The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly; even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

Lector: The Word of the Lord. Assembly: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 33: 1-2, 4-5, 18-19 Richard Proulx

Ring out your joy to the Lord, O you just; for praise is fitting for the upright. Give thanks to the Lord upon the harp; with a ten-stringed lute sing him songs. R.

For the word of the Lord is faithful, and all his works to be trusted. The Lord loves justice and right, and his merciful love fills the earth. R.


7

Yes, the Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him, who hope in his merciful love,

to rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine. R.

Second Reading 1 Peter 2: 4-9

Beloved: Come to him, a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God, and, like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it says in Scripture: Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a cornerstone, chosen and precious, and whoever believes in it shall not be put to shame. Therefore, its value is for you who have faith, but for those without faith: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, and A stone that will make people stumble, and a rock that will make them fall. They stumble by disobeying the word, as is their destiny. You are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises” of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Lector: The Word of the Lord. Assembly: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Dialogue

Deacon: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. Assembly: Glory to you, O Lord.

Gospel John 14: 1-12

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.”

Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily

Profession of Faith

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

(All bow while saying) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,


10

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Sacred Music Notes

Herbert Howells is often considered the “Dean of English church music.” His life was very difficult, having experienced the painful loss of his nine-year old son, Michael, as he died in his arms from a particularly bad case of polio. He found consolation through the medium of music, which gave his compositions a sense of longing and hope. His music often responded to the specific sacred spaces for which they were composed, evoking their unique resonance. Accordingly, his music can often be likened to the architecture of these buildings, where the notes rise and fall like the Gothic arches of the great English cathedrals.

This sense of music as architecture is strongly manifest in his second set of Psalm-Preludes, written between 1938 and 1939. Long-sweeping phrases with broad, arching melodies are hallmarks of this work. It is a “paean of jubilation” depicting Psalm 33, verse 3: Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise, taking the Psalmist’s words quite literally. The triumphant opening dialogue gives way to a quiet, subdued reflection. From here, a gradual crescendo begins as the music gradually becomes all the more energized and the notes slowly begin to rise. A final flourish on the trumpet brings us to a blazing C major chord. The music elevates our gaze upwards to God and higher things and we are reminded of the vivid passage from the book of Revelation: “I heard something like the sound of a great multitude or the sound of rushing water or mighty peals of thunder, as they said: ‘Alleluia! The Lord has established his reign, [our] God, the almighty. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory.’”
