Suggested Mass Line-up for June 12, 2011

June 12, 2011 Suggested Mass Line-up (JR Medina and BR Gangca)
Pentecost Sunday 
Liturgical color: Red 

This is celebrated 50 days after Easter Sunday. In your choice of songs, it’s recommended to mix languages, that is to say, intersperse the songs in languages that the congregation is more or less familiar with. For instance, why don’t you sing some part of the song in Latin, some in English, some in Filipino, some in your provincial dialect if you have one. This is more reflective of how the apostles were able to speak in various tongues to their hearers after the Pentecost. 

"...began to speak other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak...each heard them speaking in his own language..." 

This is probably why the trite Come Holy Spirit has a Halina Espiritu Santo in it hehehe. 

The first option is thus multiple languages in one song, at least in the processional songs, because there is more room as such are longer. I don't know if it will be as easily done in the non-processional songs, as these are naturally much shorter. A second option could be that of using different languages for many songs. well at least sa mga processional. That is to say, for example, a Latin entrance song, an English offertory song, a Filipino communion song, and the recessional song in your provincial dialect if you got one.

Readings: 

1R: Luke, the acknowledged author of Acts, in 2:1-11 writes about the descent of the Holy Spirit.

RP: 104 Lord, send out Your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. 

2R: 1 Corinthians 12:3-13 is about us being gifted; each one is unique and special to do great things for the glory of God. We each have different gifts. 

G: John 20:19-23 is about Jesus appearing to the apostles after His Resurrection. The consequential lines are: 

1. Peace be with you. 
2. As the Father has sent Me, so I send you. 
3. Receive the Holy Spirit.
4. Those whose sins you forgive are forgiven. Those whose sins you retain are retained. 

Please consider also that this day is our country’s independence day. Don’t forget to sing songs that are makabayan too.

If you serve in a 6 AM, 12 NN or 6 PM mass when there would be Angelus/Regina Coeli before or after the Mass, try to work out an arrangement with the commentators and/or lectors and the choirs: Will the Regina Coeli be said or sung? If it will be sung, then sing for 

English: Hangad’s Queen of Heaven, Rejoice

I will sing (Francisco). For this occasion of Pentecost, I recommend singing the, uhh, African-chant-sounding, uhh, syllables, mga ungols, at the introit, something I've never understood, as these are so much like "speaking in tongues." Thus, there's a good chance that people in the congregation will associate it with the HS and think you guys are so inebriated with the HS that the choir is speaking in tongues.

Line-up for June 5, 2011 MASS

June 5, 2011 
Ascension Sunday 
Liturgical color: White 

Sa maraming bansa, Holy Day of Obligation ito. (Not in Phils though.) This is generally celebrated 40 days after Easter Sunday. Dahil pumapatak ang Easter Sunday sa araw ng Linggo (What?!?@#$%), necessarily papatak ang Ascension sa araw ng Huwebes. However, AFAIK, in Canada and the Pinas, this feast is transferred to the following Sunday. In Nigeria, the precept of attending Mass on this day is transferred to the following or preceding Sunday. In Scotland, this feast, when it falls on a Saturday, no obligation to attend Mass is attached for that year in that nation.

Readings: 

1R: Luke, the acknowledged author of Acts, in 1:1-11 writes to Theophilus about Jesus’ ascension. Ipila ko na lang yung mga consequential lines: 
1. Jesus showed to the apostles that He is alive.
2. He was with them for 40 days after His Resurrection.
3. Jesus instructed them not to leave Jerusalem but wait for the Father’s promise. “You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit within a few days.”
4. It is not for us to know the time and the steps that the Father has fixed b His own authority.
5. You will be my witnesses... even to the ends of the earth.
6. The Ascension narrative.

RP: 47 God mounts His throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.

2R: Eph 1:17-23
1. May you know how great is the glory that God sets apart for His saints.
2. God the Father revealed His almighty power in Christ. He had Him sit at His right hand in heaven. God put all things under the feet of Christ, and set Him above all things as head of the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

G: Matthew 28:16-20. 
1. Jesus told the Eleven to go up a mountain in Galilee.
2. Jesus said, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples from nations. Baptize them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to fulfill all that I have commanded you. I am with you always until the end of this world.”

If you serve in a 6 AM, 12 NN or 6 PM mass when there would be Angelus/Regina Coeli before or after the Mass, try to work out an arrangement with the commentators and/or lectors and the choirs: Will the Regina Coeli be said or sung? If it will be sung, then sing for

Filipino: Reyna ng Langit: BP in Tinapay ng Buhay Album.

I know; June is traditionally the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. But hold your horses on such songs as Mahal na Puso, No Mas Amor, and Your Heart Today. Curiously, for this year, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, which is celebrated on the Friday after Corpus Christi, falls in July and not in June.
