Dr. Tracy Mehr-Muska Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

OFFERTORY | Veni, Sancte Spiritus from Lux Aeterna by Morten Lauridsen | AHCC Sanctuary Choir (sung in Latin) Come, Holy Spirit, send forth the heavenly ray of your light. Come, father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come, light of hearts. Greatest comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet consolation. In labour, rest, in heat, temperateness, in tears, solace. O most blessed light, fill the inmost heart of your faithful. Without the nod of your head, there is nothing in man, nothing that is harmless. Cleanse that which is unclean, water that which is dry, heal that which is wounded. Bend that which is inflexible, warm that which is chilled, correct that which has gone astray. Give to your faithful, those who trust in you, the sevenfold gifts. Give the reward of virtue, give a death of salvation, give joy constantly. DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION Praise God, from whom all blessing flow; Praise God all creatures here below; Praise God above, ye heavenly host; Creator, Christ, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
