Organ Meditations on the Eucharist

These organ meditations are offered in place of the usual choral meditations on the Eucharist sung by the Cathedral Choir. For each meditation, the texts associated with the compositions are supplied below for your reflection as you prepare to enter into the sacred mysteries of the Holy Mass.

Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele, BWV 654 Johann Sebastian Bach

(1685-1750)

“Adorn yourself, O beloved soul. Vacate the dark cavern of sin, come into the clear light, begin to shine with glory; for the Lord, full of salvation and mercy, has now invited you as a guest. The one who can rule over heaven wants to make his very dwelling in you.”

Jesu Dulcis-Verbum Supernum (from Five Liturgical Inventions) Victor Togni

(1935-1965)

“The heavenly Word proceeding forth, yet not leaving the Father’s side, went forth upon His work on earth and reached at length life’s eventide. By false disciple to be given to foemen for His Blood athirst, Himself, the living Bread from heaven, He gave to His disciples first. To them He gave, in twofold kind, His very Flesh, His very Blood: of twofold substance man is made, and He of man would be the Food. By birth our fellowman was He, our Food while seated at the board; He died, our ransomer to be; He ever reigns, our great reward.”

- St. Thomas Aquinas

Psalm-Prelude Set 2, No. 1 Herbert Howells

(1892-1983)

“De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine. Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.”

- Psalm 30: 1

Improvisation on a tune by Orlando Gibbons Ernest Bullock

(1890-1979)

“Jesu, grant me this, I pray, ever in thy heart to stay; let me evermore abide in thy heart and wounded side. If the evil one prepare, or the world, a tempting snare, I am safe when I abide in thy heart and wounded side. If the flesh, more dangerous still, tempt my soul to deeds of ill, naught I fear when I abide, in thy heart and wounded side. Death will come one day to me; Jesu, cast me not from thee. Dying, let me still abide in thy heart and wounded side. Amen.”

- Cf. Psalm 91

Prelude on ‘Ubi Caritas’ James Biery

(b. 1956)

“Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ's love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And may we love each other with a sincere heart. As we are gathered into one body, beware, lest we be divided in mind. Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease, and may Christ our God be in our midst. And may we with the saints also, see Thy face in glory, O Christ our God: the joy that is immense and good, unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen.”

- Offertory Antiphon for Holy Thursday

Von Liebe kommt gross Leiden (from Zehn Orgelchoräle, Op. 39) Flor Peeters

(1903-1986)

“From love comes great suffering.”

The Liturgy of the Word

First Reading Exodus 12: 1-8, 11-14

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year. Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household. If a family is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join the nearest household in procuring one and shall share in the lamb in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it. The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight. They shall take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house in which they partake of the lamb. That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. “This is how you are to eat it: with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand, you shall eat like those who are in flight. It is the Passover of the Lord. For on this same night I will go through Egypt, striking down every firstborn of the land, both man and beast, and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt—I, the Lord! But the blood will mark the houses where you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over you; thus, when I strike the land of Egypt, no destructive blow will come upon you. “This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall celebrate with pilgrimage to the Lord, as a perpetual institution.”

Lector: The Word of the Lord. Assembly: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 116: 12-13, 15-16bc, 17-18 Peter Latona

How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me? The cup of salvation I will raise; I will call on the Lord’s name. R. O precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.

Your servant, Lord, your servant am I; you have loosened my bonds. R. A thanksgiving sacrifice I make; I will call on the Lord’s name. My vows to the Lord I will fulfill before all his people. R.

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26

Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

Lector: The Word of the Lord. Assembly: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Dialogue

Deacon: The Lord be with you. Assembly: And with your spirit.

Deacon: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. Assembly: Glory to you, O Lord.

Gospel John 13: 1-15

Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end. The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.” Jesus said to him,

“Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.” For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.” So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”

Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. Assembly: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
