Saturday, August 30
Opening Hymn: All Creatures of Our God and King (Laast Uns Erfreuen)
Gloria: Notre Dame Mass, Isele
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 116, Bower
Litany of the Saints: Becker (OCP)
Offertory Anthem: I Was Glad, Parry
Sanctus, Memorial Acclamation, Amen, Agnus Dei: Mass of Creation, Haugen
Communion Hymn: Gift of Finest Wheat, Kreutz/Westendorf
Communion Anthem: Ego Sum Panis Vivus, Palestrina
Closing Hymn: Lift High the Cross (Crucifer)
On the whole, a beautiful liturgy. Some of the music could've been a little better, but watching seven men dedicate their lives to Holy Cross, the first time I had been to such a ceremony, was quite inspiring. I know several good young (and old) Holy Cross priests, and am confident that these men will continue the recent improvements to Catholic identity here at Notre Dame and elsewhere.
