THE THREE DAY WEEKEND

Let's start with this Friday - August 15 - The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - a Holyday of Obligation.  We have Mass at 10 AM in the Church, followed by coffee an' downstairs in the hall.  See?  Come to Mass on the Holyday and get rewarded! ;)

Then the weekend - Sunday XX through the Year!

On Friday and on the weekend, we will be singing the hymn Tell out, my soul (Red Worship, #534).  This is a paraphrase the joyful hymn that Mary sang when visiting Elizabeth, who at the time was carrying John the Baptist in her womb.  That hymn is the Magnificat, and is proclaimed in Luke's Gospel on Friday.

    Magnificat anima mea Dominum, et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.

Which translates:

    My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

That said:
