November: The Month of All Souls As is our custom at St. Vincent’s we will remember those who have gone home to God in two ways.

On November 4, at the 11 a.m. Mass, the names of all in our parish who have died in this past year will be called by name and a candle lit by a family member in

remembrance of them.

As November begins, we invite and welcome you to place photos of your deceased loved ones, no matter when they died, on the window sills in the worship space. These would remain there throughout the

month as we continue to call to mind those who have gone before us in the faith.

Lamb of God

What is the song being sung right before we receive Communion?

Marie answers:

As most of you know, I take my job as a liturgical musician pretty seriously. My hope is that there is an experience of music and liturgy that draws us all in to a deeper level of prayer and closeness with God and

community, and moves to fulfill the mission of Jesus as we leave these walls.

I have gotten some questions recently about the Lamb of God, the prayer sung as the Eucharistic elements, the bread and wine are prepared to be given to the people. What exactly is the cantor singing?

Because the Lamb of God is one of those musical pieces that accompanies ritual action, its form is that of a

litany. It can be shorter or longer, depending on the need. The ritual action (the breaking of the bread) is accompanied by the invocation (Lamb of God) which “may be repeated as many times as necessary until the rite has been completed. The final time it concludes with the words grant us peace.” (General Instruction of the Roman

Missal #83)

We sing “Lamb of God” in English to begin and then repeat “Lamb of God” in various languages, until we go back to “Lamb of God” in English. This signals the last refrain which

is: “Grant us peace,”

Over the past several years, members of our community from various countries have taught me how to say “Lamb of God” in their native language. It has been a wonderful experience, and as we do this, we are reminded that the Body of Christ encompasses the whole world. So if we do not yet sing “Lamb of God” in your original

language, please share this with me.

Below is a listing of some of the languages you might hear: Agnus Dei (Latin)

Cordero de Dios (Spanish) Hana Nime yang (Korean)

Hwayana ya Mwari (Shona/Zimbabwe) Kimeme kia Nzambi (Kikongo)

Mwana koondo wa Mungu (Swahili) A Caliga Ka Katanda (Bantu/Luganda)

Kordero ng Diyos (Tagalog/Filipino) Agneau de Dieu (French) Baranku Bozy (Polish)

Kataama Ka Ruhanga (Rutdorl/Uganda) Isten Báránya (Hungarian)

Anak Domba Allah (Indonesian) Agnello di Dio (Italian) Lamm Gottes (German)

Cordeiro de Deus (Portuguese)
