June 18 - BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST Lectionary #168
Emerging in the thirteenth century in response to attacks on the real presence of Christ in the sacrament, this feast was first celebrated in 1247; it was added to the general calendar in 1264. From the late fourteenth century, the most conspicuous aspect of this feast was a procession with the reserved sacrament that followed Mass, probably modeled on the Palm Sunday procession in England , in which the sacrament was carried to represent Christ the King. In Germany it became associated with a petition for good weather, and the procession included four stations at which the sacrament in the monstrance was offered in blessing in the four directions.
Today's readings focus our attention on the “blood of the covenant” and, therefore, on Christ's redeeming presence among us as the new sign of the covenant (and under the form of wine).
Exodus 24:3-8. The covenant which God offers is a matter of life and death. Once they hear the words, understand them, and commit themselves to the covenant, Moses sprinkles the people with “the blood of the covenant.” This ritual gesture suggests that violation of the covenant brings death; it is also a reminder that all of life is in God's hands because it was believed that life itself resided in the blood.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (115) 116
This song of thanksgiving, originally sung by a grateful individual, has become the song of the church as it takes up the cup of salvation in the Eucharist to give thanks to God.
Hebrews 9:11-15. Written after the destruction of the Temple (70 CE), this letter “spiritualizes” Temple ritual and applies it to Christ. Here, Christ is presented as the high priest entering the Holy of Holies, not by offering purification sacrifices but by offering himself—“his own blood”—which purifies himself as well as all who share in the “new covenant.”
Sequence: Lauda Sion
Unlike the sequences for Easter Sunday and Pentecost, this sequence is optional. If used, it may best be used as a processional piece accompanying the movement of the Gospel Book through the congregation. People planning to use this sequence should note how very long it is; they might consider using the shorter form which begins with the verse “Lo! the angel's food is given.” The Canadian Catholic Book of Worship III has a reworking of the text set to the Pange Lingua tune (#693), and the chant for the short form (“Ecce Panis”) is in the Liber Cantualis. A setting of the short form of the sequence is available in By Flowing Waters (Paul Ford, The Liturgical Press), 207. The following versions of the hymn may be used in their entirety or shortened by comparing the texts with the one found in the Lectionary.
Laud, O Zion JS 473/BB/PRM B
Praise, O Zion , Voices Raising WC 627/PMB 319
Mark 14:12-16, 22-26. In Mark's version of the Last Supper, the words over the cup are far more extensive than the words over the bread, since in this version Jesus evokes the prophetic image of the messianic banquet, celebrated with new wine “in the kingdom of God .”

June 11 - TRINITY SUNDAY Lectionary #165
We celebrate the mystery of God as Trinity, not in splendid self-isolation but as for us. In the opening prayer for today's Mass, we give thanks to the Father, who “sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy,” for “through them we come to know the mystery of [divine] life.”
Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40. Moses solemnly evokes the memory of who God has been for Israel : the one who chose them and liberated them, who spoke “from the midst of fire” and gave them the Torah.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (32) 33
Selected verses from this hymn praise God as the creator and also as the one who watches over the faithful (“the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him”).
Romans 8:14-17. We are more than God's chosen people. By the power of the Spirit working within us, we have been made children of God and joint heirs with Christ.
Matthew 28:16-20. The formula for baptism was already in its fixed, ritual form when Matthew placed it here, at the end of his Gospel.
Opening: Sing Out, Earth and Skys (CC-388)
CCM Opening: Hosanna (see sheet)
Ps: Ps 33: Happy the People You Have Chosen(CC-24)[sing and read]

June 4th - PENTECOST
SOLEMNITY OF PENTECOST YEAR B Lectionary #63B
Since it is the final feast of the Great Fifty Days, how does Pentecost complete Easter?
Acts 2:1-11. The Spirit fills the disciples and sends them out to preach to the whole world. God's Spirit, like God's love, is missionary; it impels us beyond ourselves and our own concerns.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (103) 104
A hymn of praise to the Creator who also sustains the whole of creation especially through the gift of water (verses 10-18 and 27-35). See the commentary on the water imagery used at the Easter Vigil.
Galatians 5:16-25. Paul's version of the morality of two ways—the way of life and the way of death—contrasts the “deeds of the flesh” with the “deeds of the Spirit.” He reminds the Galatians that they are in the Spirit, so they should put into practice what they affirm about themselves. (The second reading for Year A may be used in place of this text.)
John 15:26-27; 16:12-15. The Spirit will testify to Jesus, and so will the church. In fact, the Spirit will testify through the church.
Opening: Let the fire fall(see sheet)
Ps: Ps 104: Lord, Send out your spirit(cc-76)
Offertory: Come, Holy Ghost(instrumental) (cc-293)
Com 1: We are many parts(cc-516)
Com 2: Send us your spirit(cc-295)
Closing: Everyone moved by the spirit(see sheet)
