This was the first Communion Hymn sung at the Mass where the Rite of Acceptance & Welcome was celebrated.
Because the song is patterned on the Communion Rite, even though members of the catechumenate and candidates for full membership in the church are still waiting to receive Communion, you were able to participate in communion: to be offered a share in Christ’s Body and Blood and to offer your “Amen” in reply.
Please take a look at the attachment below, particularly the verses which tell the story of God's presence in human history from Old Testament to Christ's arrival and beyond. If you cannot connect the verses to Biblical stories, please use the comment section to identify which verses seemed unfamiliar to you.
Hearing and responding to such stories is an important part of Advent and preparing for God's gift of the Incarnation at Christmas.
