SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT

Ah yes, the day we hear the Gospel reading of the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ.

MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

All numbers refer to the Maroon hymnal.

Entrance hymn: 343 (First Tune) Praise to the Holiest in the height (Listen)

Kyrie: Messa Popolare "Laus Tibi Christe", music by Federico Caudana
- sung at Masses celebrated by Father Bucci

Responsorial Psalm: The Lord is my light and my salvation, music by Richard Proulx (antiphon) and Joseph Gelineau, SJ (verses) (can be found in Worship at #792)

Gospel Acclamation: same as Ash Wednesday

Offertory hymn: 61 The glory of these forty days (Listen)
- Organist in the video linked here is a good friend of mine, Ryan Lynch, who frequented some of the same church music message boards I did at one point.  He has since moved from the Boston area to Chicagoland to take on a much better parish position there.

Sung Mass (Sanctus through Agnus Dei): same as Ash Wednesday

Communion anthem: Ave Verum, music by Lorenzo Perosi
- By the way, stay tuned for a beautiful new (new to you, that is) Ave Verum we will be learning for Holy Week by Camille Saint-Saƫns!

Meditation hymn: 414 O for a heart to praise my God (Listen)

Recessional hymn: 55 Forty days and forty nights (short simple tune!) (Listen)

Peace,
