ST. NORBERT COLLEGE

Mass of the Holy Spirit

Aug. 29, 2021

™

This new academic year finds us stronger in our shared resolve to continue to rely on

one another for mutual support, sustenance and compassion. Having navigated our

way through pandemics of unprecedented proportions and consequences, we are all

of us anxious to reimagine the bonds of friendship and family, affection and loyalty,

community and the common good.

This is our breakthrough moment to refine and redefine how we will together echo the

wisdom of our ancestors as we imagine a new heaven and a new earth, right here and

right now … something new (and vibrant and wonderful) is within reach for us all, and

it’s worth celebrating with enthusiasm and joy!

Let this be a year wherein through rites and rituals, dialogues and deep silence, feasting

and lamenting, dancing and standing together as one community, we can declare with

pride and hope, an amazing year unlike any other; not a merely normal year, but an

extraordinary year, giving credence to the words of Maya Angelou, who once said,

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”

Let this be an amazingly rich and creative and powerful year of celebrating our St.

Norbert College community; blessed, beloved and beautiful.

Second Reading: Acts 2: 17-18 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, “You who are Jews,

indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you and listen to my words. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘It will come to pass in the last days,’ God says, ‘that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. Indeed, upon my servants and my handmaids I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy.”

Gospel Acclamation


PROFESSION OF FAITH (APOSTLES’ CREED)

I believe in God,the Father almighty,Creator of heaven and earth,and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died and was buried;he descended into hell;on the third day he rose again from the dead;he ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and life everlasting. Amen.
