Back to the "green season", those "Sundays of the Year" (literally, "Sundays *through* the Year"), or as the modernists call it, "Ordinary Time" (which is not necessarily ordinary). Father Bucci more than once has referenced the term "Boring Time" which he had heard in his seminary days. ;)
Because the First Week of "Ordinary Time" started on a Monday (Baptism of the Lord was last Sunday, the final day of the Christmas Season in the Ordinary Form), this Sunday is the Second Sunday of the Year (or "OT", or to some maybe, "BT" lol, or simply "Sunday II"). We'll be seeing Sundays II through VIII in this segment of "OT" as Ash Wednesday doesn't fall until March 5 this year (a result of Easter falling on April 20 this year).
For these next seven Sundays we will be using English sung Mass Ordinaries.
The second verse of our entrance hymn, Songs of thankfulness and praise, references the Gospel of the day, which speaks of the wedding feast at Cana.
Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, priest and King supreme;
And at Cana, wedding guest, In thy Godhead manifest.
Manifest in pow'r divine, Changing water into wine.
Anthems be to thee addressed, God in man made manifest.
Our offertory hymn, Sing to the Lord a joyful song, is new and will be taught approximately five minutes before the start of Mass.
The Communion responsory also echoes the Gospel passage, Fill the jars with water, and bring them to the master of the feast, which is also the assigned Communion proper in the Graduale Romanum for this day.
Without further ado...
