MUSIC & LITURGY NOTES
Happy Pentecost! On Pentecost we commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers
of Jesus Christ (120 in all), as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1–31. For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes
described by some Christians today as the "Birthday of the Church." Therefore, as a faith, we celebrate a very large
“family” birthday celebration. We use the color red today to depict the flames of the Holy Spirit, as described in the Acts
reading as a “strong, driving wind.” Unfortunately, our second reading this Sunday only covers Acts 2: 1-11. If you read
up to chapter 13, there is a humorous moment when someone blames the entire event on having had “too much new
wine.” It is later revealed that it was too early in the morning to cite intoxication as the cause of Pentecost! (The bible
can be really funny at times, I promise!) The Greek word for Pentecost (Pentekoste) means “fiftieth” and in early
Christianity it referred to the entire Fifty Days of Easter. Today’s music reflects not only the Major Feast that we
celebrate as a Church, but also the civic holiday that we will celebrate this Monday, Memorial Day. Our Procession
Hymn, “Come, Holy Ghost,” is a beloved song in our parish repertoire. The text was written sometime in the ninth
century by Rabanus Maurus, a German priest. In addition to hymns and poetry, he is known as a prominent theologian.
He has been beatified, but not yet canonized, by the Church. Our offertory hymn text was written by the Benedictine
Sister, Delores Dufner, who is one of the best-known hymn writers in the church today. The hymn, “O Spirit AllEmbracing,” is a paraphrase of Acts 2 and of the Gospel reading on the Vigil of Pentecost, John 7: 37-39. (The tune,
THAXTED, is a favorite of Fr. Boniface (our former deacon who is celebrating his first Mass as a priest with us here today
at the 10:00 am Mass), therefore I have moved the hymn around so that it can be sung at 10:00 am.) Today’s
Communion procession antiphon was written by yours truly (I’m building up a dossier in hopes of future beatification…
just kidding!) I came up with the refrain on my own, however, the verses, sung by the cantor, are from more of the
writings on the Holy Spirit by Rabanus Maurus. Our Concluding Hymn is a nod toward our upcoming national holiday.
“My Country, ‘tis of thee” was written in 1832 by Samuel Francis Smith and first sung at a children's Fourth of July
celebration in Park Street church, Boston. Smith was a prominent nineteenth century New England Baptist Minister. The
tune has an ambiguous background, but can be traced back to the late 1700’s in Muzio Clementi’s Symphony No.3.
This song was a de-facto national anthem of the United States before the Star-Spangled Banner was composed. Lastly
for today – there are two Sunday’s during the year when we are required to sing the “Sequence” – Easter and
Pentecost. Sequences were parts of the pre-Trent (1500’s) Catholic Mass. A Sequence is a piece of liturgical poetry that
is read or sung as part of the Liturgy of the Word at Mass on some feast days. A Sequence expands on and explains the
meaning of the celebration. During the Middle Ages myriads of Sequences were added to the liturgy.

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS NEEDED
Our parish is in need of additional Extraordinary Ministers of
Holy Communion (Eucharistic Ministers). We will especially
need help at the Sunday 5:00 pm Mass during the summer.
If you are looking for a way to serve others and volunteer
your time to the parish, being a part of any of our Liturgical
Ministries, and in particular, Eucharistic Ministry, is a
excellent way to respond. Interviews and a training session
will be held in early June. To sign up, call the parish office.
EUCHARISTIC MINISTRY TO MAPLEWOOD
Current Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are
needed to administer Communion to residents of
Maplewood who are not able to get to church on Sunday.
Many of the residents are in Skilled Nursing or Assisted
Living and are not able to get to Mass. It is a very fulfilling
ministry as the residents look forward to receiving Holy
Communion. If you are interested, contact Rosemary
Hartley at 301-229-1167.
ADDITIONAL USHERS NEEDED
Ushers are an integral part of our worship experience. They
greet us at the door, hand us a bulletin, find us seating,
