Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Factus est repente de caelo sonus advenientis spiritus
vehementis, ubi erant sedentes, alleluia; et repleti sunt
omnes Spiritu Sancto, loquentes magnalia Dei, alleluia,
alleluia (Suddenly, a sound came from heaven like the rush
of a mighty wind, in the place where they were sitting,
alleluia; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and announced the great things God had done, alleluia, alleluia).


This weekend the Easter Season concludes after Sunday Vespers
(Evening Prayer). On Monday we resume Ordinary Time (Week 9). The
traditional sunrise-noon-sunset prayer changes from "Regina Caeli"
to "Angelus" until Easter Vigil 2010.
