Welcome to Our Visitors

Thank you for sharing in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with us today. Please fill out a visitor’s card (found in the pew

racks) and return it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit. And please introduce yourself after Mass.

If you are a Catholic, we at Our Lady of Walsingham receive Holy Communion kneeling and by intinction (both species on the tongue).

If you are not a Catholic, during Communion we invite you either to come forward with your arms crossed over your chest, or fingers across your lips, and receive a blessing from the Priest or Deacon, or remain in your pew and reflect on the presence of Christ.

Awaiting the Paraclete, looking forward to Pentecost

Before He went up to the Father, Jesus said, “It is expedient for you that I go; for if I go not, the

Paraclete will not come to you” (John 16:7). After Christ’s Ascension, His Blessed Mother, the

apostles, and disciples dedicated themselves to prayer in the Cenacle for nine days until the Holy

Ghost descended upon them in tongues of fire. As promised, the Paraclete was poured out upon

the Church gathered in prayer around Mary. And so the Holy Spirit yet abides with us as the

very soul of the mystical Body of Christ that is the Church, vitalizing and indwelling all its mem-

bers and operations.

Next week on Whitsunday, we will celebrate the birthday of the Church, the great solemnity of

Pentecost, seven weeks after the Resurrection, on the fiftieth day, known in the Jewish tradition

as the “jubilee octave” (i.e., 7 × 7 + 1). With Easter, the liturgical observance of the coming of the

Holy Ghost is the most ancient of all Christian holy days. This festival is also called Whitsunday,

especially in England and northern Europe, on account of the white robes worn by the newly

baptized on this day set aside, like the Easter Vigil, for christenings. Though the week following

Pentecost is called Whitsuntide, this festival does not inaugurate a new season; rather, it con-

cludes Paschal time and marks off the first half of the liturgical year. Second in dignity only to

Easter, Pentecost is one of the few solemnities with special propers appointed for its vigil, and the

principal Mass is to be celebrated with the utmost reverence.

On this day, for one last time at the close of Eastertide, Solemn Mass begins with the Vidi aquam

and the rite of sprinkling holy water. At the chanting of the Alleluia verse, Emitte Spiritum, it is

traditional to genuflect at the invocation of the Holy Spirit, and then just before the Gospel we all

sing the medieval sequence hymn Veni Sancte Spiritus, also known as "The Golden Sequence:

"Come, thou Holy Spirit, come." (The 1940 Hymnal gives us this great hymn in the memorable

translation by Edward Caswall, the Anglican who converted to the Roman Catholic Church in

1847.) At the end of Mass on Pentecost, concluding the Easter season, the Paschal Candle is

formally extinguished before being taken to the baptistery where it remains until the next liturgi-

cal year begins with Advent. Dr. Clint Brand
