This Friday (May 3) is our First Friday Sacred Heart Community Mass. It is also the Feast of the Apostles SS. Philip and James. Two of the hymns are seasonal in nature, and hymns that Fr. Bucci certainly would have picked during Paschaltide. The other, the offertory hymn, Come, my way, my truth, my life, reflects the Alleluia verse in which Jesus tells Philip, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; Philip, whoever sees me has seen the Father." The tune used for this hymn, "The Call," is taken from Five Mystical Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Communion hymn: Daily, daily, sing to Mary ("Omni Die Dic Mariae"/Pew Missal, #120)
- Verses from the Latin Omni die dic Mariae may be sung in alternation from the choir loft. The tune has a couple of other different names: the German title "Alle Tage Sing und Sage", and simply "Sunrise." This is the tune used in many a hymnal here in the United States. In the United Kingdom and other English speaking countries, the popular tune there is "Daily, Daily", which is often heard from the belltower. Listen links: Omni Die (USA) | Daily, Daily (UK, et al)

Recessional hymn: Go, make of all disciples ("Ellacombe"/Pew Missal, #137)
- I chose this based on the passage that appears late in the Gospel, "Go and bear fruit that will last". This will also be the recessional for the Ascension (May 9), in which the same hymn alludes to even more of that day's Gospel reading.
