4. Communion Rite.

Solemn Pontifical Mass with Cardinal Burke at St Brigid's Catholic Church, Marrickville.

Agnus Dei - Missa O Quam Gloriosum (Victoria)

In the Communion Rite the people refocus themselves as they prepare to receive their Incarnate God in human form. They remind themselves of their failings and weaknesses, as does the Cardinal himself. Then the great mercy of God is remembered and made known through the Agnus Dei, we recall that He who 'takes away the sins of the world' has visited us to redeem us. Then again, focusing on our need for redemption and purification we implore our Lord to heal us with the phrase 'Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. But only say the word and my soul shall be healed.' Finally, the Cardinal, sacred ministers and all the faithful rejoice in being joined with the Lord in Holy Communion.
