Note: The Magnificat Antiphon at First Vespers of the 20th Sunday of the Year C is the same one given for the Magnificat at First Vespers of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Magnificat I
I am come to cast fire on the earth:
and what will I, but that it be kindled (Lk 12:49).
Benedictus
I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized:
and how I am constrained until it be accomplished (Lk 12:50).
Magnificat II
Do you think that I am come to give peace on earth?
I tell you, no; but separation (Lk 12: 51).
His Excellency, Bishop Edward J. Slattery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live under the Rule of Saint Benedict in adoration before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus, offering thanksgiving, intercession, and reparation for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. In this way, Father is preparing the foundation of the new Diocesan Benedictine Monastery of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Father Mark is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental support in their pursuit of holiness. He is also charged with the spiritual formation of women who desire to dedicate themselves to spiritual motherhood in favour of priests.
