Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe (A • 2023)
Hi Friends—
We have an exciting lineup for this coming weekend. Obviously, in the absence of rehearsal this evening, a little bit of extra prep. work will be required on your end. I hope you have a great time with your families, but let’s remember WHO we are thanking, and come prepared on Sunday!
Immediately Preceding Mass: Choral Fanfare for Christ the King
Entrance Hymn: Crown Him with Many Crowns (v.4 is the Entrance Antiphon trope)
[I will cover the Entrance Antiphon if it is even needed]
Psalm 23: The Lord is My Shepherd — new version! (Playlist)
Alleluia for the Feast of Christ the King (with special choral coda)
Credo III
Offertory Hymn: When Morning Gilds the Skies
Communion Antiphon: I will sing the original from the Gregorian Missal.
Communion Hymn: Laudate Dominum (this is the special hymn I wrote that uses the same music as the alleluia; it’s been a while since we’ve sung it, but you’ll recognize it immediately)
**LAUDES REGIÆ (“Christus Vincit”)** Fr. Royce and I will take turns chanting the invocations, and you will lead the congregation’s responses. (No Salve Regina)
Recessional Hymn: At the Name of Jesus, Every Knee Shall Bow
