Processional Hymn: Faith of Our Fathers (#928)
1. Faith of our fathers! living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!
Refrain: Faith of our fathers! Holy faith! We will
be true to thee til death!
2. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark Were still in heart and conscience free
How sweet would be their children’s fate If we like them, could die for Thee!
Faith of our fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to
thee til death!
3. Faith of our fathers! Mary’s prayers Shall win our country back to Thee
And through the truth that comes from God Mankind shall then indeed be free
Faith of our fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to
thee til death!

Recessional Hymn: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
(#838)
When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of glory died My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbid it Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His Blood
See from His head, His hands, His feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e’er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
His dying crimson like a robe
Spreads o’er His body on the Tree Then am I dead to all the globe And all the globe is dead to me
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Propers of the Mass Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel
Epistle Apoc 1:1-5: Brethren: In those days, God sig-nified those things which must shortly come to pass, sending through His Angel to His servant John; who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to whatever he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein; for the time is at hand. John to the seven churches that are in Asia: grace be to you and peace from Him Who is and Who was and Who is coming, and from the seven spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him Who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood. Gospel Matt 18 1-10: At that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in their midst, and said, Amen I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such little child for My sake, receives Me. But whoev-er causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals! For it must needs be that scandals come, but woe to the man through whom scandal does come! And if your hand or your foot is an occasion of sin to you, cut it off and cast it from you! It is better for you to enter
life maimed or lame, than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye is an occasion of sin to you, pluck it out and cast it from you! It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire. See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you, their Angels in heaven always behold the face of My Father in heaven.
