Racked my brain yesterday on hymnody to cover this coming Sunday's Scriptures Trinity ix.

Psalm 115, Ezekiel 14:1-11 1, Corinthians x. 1., St. Luke xv. 11.

Hymnal recommendations mushy and mostly we did not know them anyway.

Here is the line up of hits:
Processional
536 "Turn Back O Man" http://www.cyberhymnal.org/mid/o/l/d/old_124th.mid




Sequence
446 lyrics "Commit thou all that griefs" / Hymn Passion Chorale


General
457 lyrics only click here 'O Love that casts out fear" / Hymn Moseley: http://nethymnal.org/htm/a/n/t/anthoday.htm

Communion
345 The King of love my Shepherd is, / http://nethymnal.org/htm/k/i/kinglove.htm

Recessional
562 Stand Up for Jesus. This was the only one in the liturgical index that was usable!



Sorry for the lame midi links best i could find- Net Hymnal does not always match the same lyrics and hymns as does our 1940 hymnal so I only provide a ling to the melody and the words may not match but you are welcome to use the nethymnal to look them up.
Anyway, hope you have fun with Stephan's Youtube links!

Pax,

John


A meditation:

THE CROWN OF THE YEAR
Weekly Paragraphs for the Holy Sacrament
By Austin Farrer
Dacre Press, Westminster
TRINITY ix

WHEN we exchange between us the words of the sursum corda, the lifting of our hearts to the Lord will be more than a pious aspiration, it will be a divine fact. The sacrament is the presence of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is in heaven. He stoops to us in this Sacrament, as he does through his whole incarnation; but he stoops to lift us to himself. In a true mystery, not in edifying fancy, we are with him in that divine place. There is the whole Church of God; there are the saints who pray for us in their glory, and there by the power of hope are the souls, for whom we pray that they may speedily be joined with the saints. The saints, the souls departed and the Church on earth in every place are one life and one prayer through Christ their high priest. The effort, in mutual communion, of each spirit living or departed is requisite for the perfection of the Body of Christ. All are the support of each, and the whole hangs upon heaven in a point which is the Lord Jesus.



Dorothy L. Sayers

from her Commentary included in her translation of

The Comedy of Dante Alighieri The Florentine

Cantica II PURGATORY

Penguin Books Ltd, London1955.

Commentary on the Images in Canto XXIII

Gluttony (Gula). The sin of Gluttony is--specifically--an undue attention to the pleasures of the palate, whether by sheer excess in eating and drinking, or by the opposite fault of fastidiousness. More generally, it includes all over-indulgence in bodily comforts--the concentration, whether jovial or fretful, on a "high standard of living." It is accordingly purged by starvation within sight of plenty.

Since Gluttony tends to be, on the whole, a warm-hearted and companionable sin, often resulting from, and in, a mistaken notion of good-fellowship, it is placed higher than the egotistical and cold-hearted sins. (Compare the corresponding classification in Hell).
