This week the parish is keeping Corpus Christi. It's a great feast: if you have the New English Hymnal you can knock yourself out with a wonderful selection of hymns by St Thomas Aquinas in those wonderful translations by J.M. Neal, or you can wallow in the wonder of Sweet sacrament, divine.
I don't know if All Saints has a monstrance, so it's not clear yet whether there will be any procession to mark this wonderful feast. I remember the first time I participated in the Corpus Christi mass, when I was a canopy bearer for the procession at St Peter's, Eastern Hill.
The readings are linked here.
The psalm setting for the week is here.
The mass setting for the week is Philip Mathias's Christ Church Mass (TIS 757)
Hymns for the week are:
Introit: This is the truth we hold [469]
Gradual: Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts [tune: 332]
Offertory: Robe yourself, my soul, in gladness [503]
Communion: Here we adore you, hidden Saviour, Lord [500]
The choir will be singing the proper communion chant for the feast, taken from the American Gradual.
Organ music at All Saints will be:
Prelude: Fantasia Chromatica -- Otto Olsson
Postlude: Hallelujah Chorus -- G.F. Handel (tr. T. Dubois)
