Anthem Vidi aquam (I saw water)
Sung by the Schola as the People are sprinkled with blessed water
I beheld a stream of water flowing from the Temple’s side, from the right side forth proceeding in a pure life-giving tide: Alleluia, alleuia, risen is the Lamb who died.
And all they to whom that water with its cleansing power came knew the blessing of salvation and forever will proclaim: Alleluia, alleluia, earth and heaven praise God’s name.
Glory be to God Almighty, with the co-eternal Son and the life-bestowing Spirit ever Three and ever One. Alleluia, alleluia! while unending ages run.

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

A Note about Holy Communion
Following Diocesan guidelines, please refrain from intinction (dipping the Bread into the Chalice). If you wish to abstain from receiving from the Chalice, remember that the Church catholic has always taught that the fullness of the Sacrament is received even when only one form is received.
If you require a Gluten-Free host, please indicate to the Brother administering Bread at Holy Communion if that is your preference.
