Processional hymn: My God, Accept My Heart This Day, 942
Recessional hymn: Praise to the Holiest In the Height, 922

Offertory antiphon: Recordare, Jeffery Quick
Hymn at the communion: Adoremus in Aeternum, Gregorio Allegri (c.1582–1652) 

This Sunday the Offertory antiphon is a choral setting by living composer Jeffery Quick. The translation of the text is: Remember me, O Lord, you who dominate all authority; put the right words on my lips, so that my speech may be convincing in the presence of the King. Mr. Quick’s short motet makes use of a five note phrase that is repeated in each voice throughout the composition.

Jeffery Quick (b. 1956) is a composer, music editor, and director based in Ohio. He received a BM in music history from the University of Michigan, and a MM in composition from Cleveland State University. He was assistant music librarian at Case Western Reserve University for 22 years, and presently directs the schola cantorum of St. Mary Church in Akron OH.
