(1560-1627) From Psalm 33: Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just; praise befits the upright. Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just; praise befits the upright.

The Bishop places the paten holding bread and the chalice holding wine in the hands of the

newly ordained priests as they kneel before him.

Lastly, as a sign of welcome into the presbyterate, Bishop Sweeney and the priests present give the fraternal sign of peace to the newly ordained.

ESTO LES DIGO Kinley Lange Matthew 18: This I say to you, if two of you are put, are put in accord here in, in the earth to ask, to ask anything in prayer, my Father which is in heaven, will give it to you. Because where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I, in the midst of them.

RITE OF ORDINATION

ELECTION OF THE CANDIDATES

The candidates are called by the deacon.

Monsignor James T. Mahoney, Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia, asks Bishop Sweeney to ordain these men for service as priests and testifies to their worthiness. Relying on the help of the Lord God and our savior Jesus Christ, the Bishop chooses these men for the Order of the Priesthood.

The assembly shows its approval with applause.

HOMILY

THE PROMISE OF THE ELECT

Bishop Sweeney questions the candidates. The elect kneel before Bishop Sweeney and placing their joined hands between those of the Bishop promise respect and obedience to him and his successors.

LITANY OF SUPPLICATION

The Bishop invites the people to pray. The deacon invites the assembly to kneel.

LAYING ON OF HANDS AND PRAYER OF ORDINATION

Bishop Sweeney lays hands on the heads of the elect in silence; all priests present then do the same.

At the conclusion of the Prayer of Ordination, all sing:

INVESTITURE WITH STOLE AND CHASUBLE

After the Prayer of Ordination, the newly ordained are vested with the stole and chasuble.

TU ES SACERDOS Nicola A. Montani Schola

Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord has sworn, he will not change, you are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Alleluia!
