First Reading Acts of the Apostles 2: 1—11

Pentecost was a Jewish feast that celebrated the beginning of the harvest. It took place 50

days after the feast of Passover. Jewish pilgrims came to Jerusalem from all over the ancient

world for the celebration of the feast. Today we hear how Pentecost became a Christian feast.

Psalm 104 Lord Send Out Your Spirit

1- Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord, how great are your ways. How many are your works, O Lord; the earth is full of your glory!

2- If you take back their breath, they die. They return to the dust. When you send forth your breath of life, they are created in your sight!

3- May God’s glory last for all time; May God be glad in his works. Please to Him will be my theme. I will be glad in my God! I will be glad in my God!

Second Reading I Corinthians 12: 3—7, 12—13

Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians responds to a letter they wrote to him. They had asked him how to deal with diversity of gifts in the community, and the rivalries and jealousies that inevitably arose. In today’s passage, he uses a comparison that we will recognize immediately.

Pentecost Sequence Veni Creator Spiritus Veni, creator Spiritus, mentes tuorum visita, imple superna gratia, quae tu creasti, pectora.

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come from thy bright heavenly throne; come, take possession of

our souls, and make them all thine own.

Qui diceris Paraclitus, donum Dei altissimi, fons vivus, ignis, caritas, et spiritalis unctio.

Thou who art called the Paraclete, best gift of God above, the living spring, the living fire,

sweet unction (anointing) and true love.

Deo Patri sit gloria, et Filio, qui a mortuis surrexit, ac Paraclito, in saeculorum saecula.

Amen.

Now to the Father and the Son, Who rose from death, be glory given, with Thou, O Holy

Comforter, henceforth by all in earth and heaven.

Amen.

Gospel Acclamation Festival Alleluia

“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful people; kindle in them the fire of your love.”

Profession of Faith The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven, (bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated

at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion People: 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 spiritually 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.

Prayer after Communion The Memorare

During this month of May, we will be praying the Memorare;

a prayer that reminds us that we have a wonderful advocate and protector in the mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
