A BRITISH SONG What a privilege to travel to Ireland and Scotland and sing in such lovely, historic places as Christchurch Cathedral and Trinity College in Dublin, Galway Chapel (also sang for the Saturday Mass there), Maynooth University with their choir, the 11th century remains of St. Kevin’s Church in Glendalough, St. Giles Cathedral and Stirling Castle in Glasgow, Scotland. One of the choral pieces we sang in each place was If Ye Love Me by Thomas Tallis (circa 1505-1585). I think the words are appropriate for our Lenten journey: If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the

Father, And He shall give another comforter, that He may abide

with you forever E’en the Spirit of truth.

AN IRISH PRAYER

Learned in music sings the lark I leave my cell to listen;

His open beak spill music, hark! Where heaven’s bright cloudlets glisten.

And so I’ll sing my morning psalm That God bright Heaven may give me,

And keep me in eternal calm And from all sin relieve me.

ABOUT THE SOLOIST AT THE 9:00 AM MASS: Lindsey Hayse is our soprano soloist at 9 AM. She is a member of our church youth and a Junior at Lanesville High School. Lindsey recently received gold ratings at both regional and state solo and ensemble events. Her selection is At the River by Aaron Copland.

Dear Parishioners,

Let us continue to pray for those affected by illness,

for our protection from infection, and for those who

have died, especially from the flu or coronavirus.

The Archdiocesan Office of Worship has asked me to

assure you of this: if you are sick, or are

experiencing symptoms of sickness, you are not

obliged to attend Mass, and it may be you ought not

to attend, out of charity for the wellbeing of others.

As always, please practice good hygiene.

Other ideas to consider:

-You may refrain from physical contact during the

sign of peace.

-You may refrain from holding hands during the

Our Father.

-You may refrain from receiving Holy Communion

from the chalice. (Christ is wholly and permanently

present under either Eucharistic species, i.e. bread

or cup.)

-You may refrain from using the Holy Water fonts.

Please respect others’ freedom to respond to the

caution of illness as they see fit. Please do not judge

one another for doing or not doing any of the prior

listed ideas. Peace, Fr. Kyle
