5th Sunday of Easter

2 May 2010



Entrance Love is his word (Connaughton/Milner)
Gloria Glory to God (Berthier)
Psalm 144 I will bless your name (mtgf)
Gospel Acclamation Celtic (O'Carroll/Walker)
Preparation of Gifts Love one another (mtgf)
Eucharistic Acclamations Gathering (Paul Inwood)
Lamb of God O Lamb of God (Berthier)
Communion A new commandment (Collegeville Composers Group)
Final God is love, his the care


There was a baptism during Mass this morning, so I hope that the hymns provided something familiar. In some ways it is hard to imagine that occasional Catholics would not have heard and sung the Celtic Alleluia and the Gathering Mass.

Love one another was written for the 150th Anniversary of the College, 10 years ago, and uses texts from John's Gospel which are heard through the Easter Season. A new commandment from Psallite has verses for Maundy Thursday where I feel it does not displace other pieces but it also has a set of verses for this Sunday - I saw the holy city. The refrain does have that quality of familiarity even on one hearing.
