The Feast of Ascension

Ye men of Galilee, why wonder you, looking up to heaven? Alleluia.
He shall so come as you have seen Him going up into heaven.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Introit for the Feast of Ascension

Happy Feast of the Ascension of our Lord. During Mass today, the priest extinguish the Paschal Candle after the Gospel marking the 40 days since the great Easter festivities.

Here in Church Candles NZ wish you all a happy Feast of Ascension and like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the support.

Victimae Paschali Laudes

Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus. Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulcrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos [vos] in Galilaeam. Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia.

Alma Redemptoris Mater

Here is another recording from the Auckland Latin Mass Chaplaincy Choir.

A beautiful masterpiece of Alma Redemptoris Mater by Palestrina.

Your Website Title

Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
who remains the accessible Gateway of Heaven,
and Star of the Sea,
Give aid to a falling people
that strives to rise;
O Thou who begot thy holy Creator,
while all nature marvelled,
Virgin before and after
receiving that “Ave” from the mouth of Gabriel,
have mercy on sinners.

Alma redemptoris mater
Quae pervia caeli porta manes et stella maris
Succurre cadenti surgere qui curat populo
Tu quae genuisti natura mirante
Tuum sanctum genitorem
Virgo prius ac posterius
Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud ave
Peccatorum miserere

It is still Eastertide! So don’t stop celebrating until Pentecost!

Thine be the glory

Thine be the glory Risen conquering Son Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won Angels in bright raiment Rolled the stone away Kept the folded grave clothes Where Thy body lay Thine be the glory Risen conquering Son Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won Lo! Jesus meets us Risen from the tomb Lovingly, He greets us Scatters fear and gloom Let the church with gladness Hymns of triumph sing For her Lord now liveth Death hath lost its sting Thine be the glory Risen conquering Son Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won
