SAINT GREGORY THE GREAT CHURCHA Catholic Community of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter

Order of Service, January 17, 2016 – The Second Sunday of Epiphany

THE FIRST READING — Isaiah 62:1–5For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord will give. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My delight is in her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

PSALM — Psalm 96: 1–3; 7–10When singing simplified Anglican Chant each half-verse of the Psalm (up to, or following, the asterisk [*]) is sung on the first note, changing to the second (black) note on the word or syllable in italics. The natural rhythm of the text is followed. Make a distinct pause at an upright [|] . Half verses (set in italics, with the word to be sung on the black note in roman) are sung by repeating from the double bar.

O sing unto the Lord a new song; * sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.Sing unto the Lord, and praise his Name; *be telling of his salvation from day to day.Declare his honour unto the heathen, * and his wonders unto all peoples.Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the peoples, * ascribe unto the Lord worship and power.Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name; * bring presents, and come into his courts.O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

Tell it out among the heathen, that the Lord is King,|and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast that it cannot be movèd; * and how that he shall judge the peoples righteously.Glory be to the Father and to the Son *and to the Holy Ghost;As it was in the beginning,|is now, and ever shall be *world without end. Amen.

THE SECOND READING — 1 Corinthians 12:4–11There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

¶Stand.Alleluia Chant: Alleluia, Alleluia. Praise the Lord, all ye Angels of his : praise him, all his host. Alleluia.

THE HOLY GOSPEL — John 2:1–11There was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what is that to you or to me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to

the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Recessional HymnAlleluia! Song of gladness

TODAY HAS BEEN THE SINGLE SUNDAY OF EPIPHANYTIDE, owing to an early Easter and the Ordinariate’s restoration of the ancient pre-Lenten season which had been preserved in the Anglican liturgical calendar but eliminated from the Roman after Vatican II. The next three Sundays are called Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima, Latin for Seventieth; Sixtieth; and Fiftieth respectively (inflected to match the feminine noun for Sunday, Dominica). As Lent is — roughly — forty days in length, these Sundays mark a period that is — roughly — seventy days from Easter, emblematic of the seventy years of the Babylonian captivity. Next Sunday our liturgy will take on many penitential aspects among which will be ceasing to say “Alleluia” — much as the Isrælites refused to sing mirthful songs during their exile. Where the Opus Dei — the Church’s full, daily cycle of prayer can be performed — the final “Alleluia” is sung at the conclusion of Vespers on the Saturday before Septuagesima; over the centuries a tradition grew of “burying the Alleluia.” In France and England, particularly, this was accompanied by singing the tenth-century hymn Alleluia dulce carmen. We will sing our final “Alleluia” as a community today, however, so we will anticipate and bury Saint Gregory the Great’s Alleluia at the end of this Mass, while singing the Alleluia dulce carmen in a translation by John Mason Neale — one of the redoubtable early Anglocatholic divines responsible for reintroducing the treasures of Catholic tradition to the English church in the mid-19th Century. Most who recognize his name do so on account of his Christmas carols — perhaps the most famous being O Come O Come Emmanuel — but those represent but a tiny fraction of his output, all of it of extremely high quality.

Let Heaven Rejoice & Earth be Glad, For He is Come!We welcome you in the Lord’s Name, and rejoice that you are here to worship with us today. If you would like to learn more about the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, established by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, our community within it here North of Boston, or the Ordinariate’s form of the Catholic Mass which we celebrate please speak with the clergy after Mass or contact us at www.saintgregoryordinariate .org, or via email at o~ce@saintgregoryordinariate.org. May God bless you richly.f
