THE MOST HOLY TRINITY at EIGHT O'CLOCK

The second of a series of six June solemnities, four of which fall on a Sunday this year.

Today's hymns, of course, focus on exactly what this Sunday is - the Most Holy Trinity.

Enough said there.  And so...

MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

Entrance hymn: #215 Holy, holy, holy ("Nicaea") (Listen)
- I doubt we need a listen link, but the arrangement in this one is nifty.
Gloria: Holy Angels Mass (BMP) (Listen) or recited
Psalm 8: R./ O Lord, our God, how wonderful your Name in all the earth (Fr. Samuel Weber, OSB)
Alleluia: setting by Dom Anthony Gregory Murray, OSB (Listen)
- This will be the Alleluia for the remainder of June and the entire month of July.  The listen link here gives a really cool extra fanfare by Rene Livron.  The part we will be singing ends at the 27-second mark.  We won't make you sing the extra fanfares (in the words of Timon and Pumbaa, "Hakuna Mutata!")     ;)
Offertory hymn: #701 O God, almighty Father ("Gott Vater, Sei Gepriesen") (Listen)
Sanctus, Memorial Acclamation, Amen and Agnus Dei: #'s 874, 875, 878 and 879 respectively Heritage Mass (Owen Alstott)
Communion responsory: 
Tobit 12 and 13, R./ Let us bless the God of heaven (BMP) (PDF)
Meditation hymn: #698 Come now, almighty King (Listen)
- Like "O God, almighty Father", each verse addresses each Person of the Trinity in order.  The fourth verse addresses the entire Trinity here (in the Offertory, that's addressed in the refrain).
Recessional hymn: #206 Holy God, we praise thy Name ("Grosser Gott") (Listen)

O most holy Trinity, undivided Unity, holy God, mighty God, God immortal, be adored!

Quod scripsi, scripsi!
