The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 118: 22, 24) Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia mandata
tua exquisivi, Domine: nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est
(Remove from me all scorn and contempt, for I have kept your
commandments; for your law is the object of my meditations).


The Anniversary of the Dedication of our Parish Church occurs
this weekend (11 Oct 1953 by Bp Mitty); at 11 am the choir sings
at Offertory the Gradual (the Proper text replaced every week by
the Responsorial Psalm) for our Solemnity: Locus iste a Deo factus
est, inaestimabile sacramentum, irreprehensibilis est (This place
is the work of God, a mystery surpassing all comprehension, above
all reproach). The setting of the text is by Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)
who was born in Ansfelden Austria; his schoolmaster-organist father
taught him music; later he studied at the Augustinian monastery in
Sankt Florian (upper Austria) and in 1851 became its organist.
1855-64 studied music (counterpoint, various composers); 1868- Vienna
Conservatory music theory teacher; toured as organist 1869 France,
1871 England; 1875- Vienna University teacher. Composed symphonies,
masses, sacred choral works including motets, chamber works.
