Sunday September 17th, 2023, 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)

 

 Hello.

Our choir sings this Sunday, September 17th, 2023.  We will meet at 9:15 a.m. Sunday morning to get organized for the practice and then begin rehearsal at 9:30 a.m., and end no later than 10:30 a.m.  We are going to go back to our normal routine since it's the beginning of September.  If you are away this Labour Day weekend, we hope that you are having a wonderful time with friends or family.  

The Rosary will begin after the practice ends at 10:30 a.m..  When it's finished, there will be a period of silence, or instrumental music, before Mass begins.

The music selections are found below.

The translation of the two latin verses are as follows:

Poetic Translation by Owen Alsott

1) Panis angélicus, fit panis hóminum,       1) Holy and living bread, wondrous food from heaven sent,

   Dat panis cáelicus figúris términum.         God's sacrifice foretold now in our hands we hold.

   O resmirábilis mandúcat Dóminum,             Sign and reality, challenge for us to be

   Pauper, servus, et húmilis.                  Humble servants to all the poor.

                                                 

2) Te, trina Déitas únaque, póscimus         2) God, holy Three-In-One, through this off 'ring of your Son

   Sic nos tu vísta, sicutte cólimus;           All now on earth can see what we are called to be:

   Per tuas sémitas duc nos quo téndimus,       Hope for a world in need, signs that love can succeed

   Ad lucem quam inhábitas.                     Where true justice and peace endure.

   

Traditional translation

1) Panis angélicus, fit panis hóminum,       1) Thus Angels' Bread is made the Bread of man today:

   Dat panis cáelicus figúris términum.         the Living Bread from heaven with figures dost away:

   O resmirábilis mandúcat Dóminum,             O wondrous gift indeed! the poor and lowly may

   Pauper, servus, et húmilis.                  upon their Lord and Master feed.

2) Te, trina Déitas únaque, póscimus          2) Thee, therefore, we implore, O Godhead, One in Three,

   Sic nos tu vísta, sicutte cólimus;            so may Thou visit us as we now worship Thee;

   Per tuas sémitas duc nos quo téndimus,        and lead us on Thy way,

   Ad lucem quam inhábitas.                      That we at last may see the light wherein Thou dwellest aye.
