5th Sunday after Pentecost: Grace Notes: Why we sing what we sing

Ah, the green Sundays of Summer. Mass XI and Credo I, of course!

At the Processional, Glory be to Jesus with its references to the Blood of Our Lord, appropriate for this month of the Precious Blood.

At the Offertory, Virgo Dei Genitrix for Our Lady, certainly, but also because I like it so much.

At the Communion, Jesu Dulcis Memoria because this is the second Sunday of the month on which the Holy Name men make their observances.

And because our little chapel is growing, we had time for another hymn so we did Anima Christi because of its reference to the Sanguis Christi – Blood of Christ.

To close, we did Hail Holy Queen. It’s always fitting.
