Line-Up for 03 JUNE: EXTERNAL SOLEMNITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI (plus 31 May Visitation)

This is FIRST SUNDAY, so Vespers and TLM will be with Organ. Roxanne should be up there to practice with us on Tuesday evening.

Apparently the transference of Corpus Christi from the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to the next Sunday was something that began before Vatican II, so it is an option that is preserved in the modern Extraordinary Form. This year we are taking the option. There is therefore a long Sequence after the Gradual-Alleluia. I believe it's actually the longest Sequence of any Mass.

In any case, both because of the long Sequence and the fact that this First Sunday slipped up on me (in part because we had not decided whether to go with Corpus Christi or not) and we haven't "pre-practiced" the Full Introit, we're just sticking with the psalm-toned Introit, at least for this month.

Note that Thursday 31 May is the Feast of the Visitation, which we will as usual commemorate at 06:30 Mass by chanting the Propers and a short hymn -- since it's a Marian feast, we'll pull out the chant Ave Maria again.

Finally, I'm not sure about the Asperges. Fr. Blake has expressed a desire to "dial it back" a bit, leave it for special seasons and feasts, but we also mentioned First Sundays. We likely won't know until Sunday, but going forward have it handy even though we may not use it so often.

Preview of Sunday 10 June

• MASS PROPERS: THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST [LINK]
• HYMN: COR JESU AMANTISSIMUM [LINK]
• June being the Month of the Sacred Heart, we will continue with this hymn for the next week, and perhaps the week after that although 24 June is the Solemnity of the Birth of John the Baptist, which preempts the Sunday and I may find some hymn more specific to the day.
