Need setting of Communion Antiphon for Diaconate Ordination
  • Does anyone have a simple English setting of "Go into all the world, and proclaim the Gospel.
    I am with you always, says the Lord" (E.T. alleluia).
    (Mark 16:13; Mt. 28:20) with Psalm 96 or Psalm
    19:2–5? Or is this just used for Priest Ordination? I need the one for Permanent Diaconate.
  • There's an old thread about the propers here.
    And, yes, that is the official Communion antiphon.

  • As I read the Missal, that is not the antiphon for the ordination of deacons. In my Missal, on pages 1166 & 1171, the antiphon listed is "The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." I find the antiphon you list on pages 1155 & 1160 for the ordination of priests.

    I do have a setting of that, which is attached, but it might not meet your vision for simple. It was sung prior to the music requested by those being ordained.

    Is it possible that the Roman Pontifical might have additional antiphon texts for ordination Masses?
  • Fr Webber's book has good useful versions of these antiphons.
  • Fr Webber's setting can be seen here. I suspect that would not suit those who ask for a simple setting.
  • Is it possible that the Roman Pontifical might have additional antiphon texts for ordination Masses?
    Here is my list from the pontifical.

  • Paul, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is exactly what I am looking for. They aren't ready for the Latin just yet, but I am assembling a schola that will be ready next year for the Latin. THANK YOU!!!
  • The last book of Fr. Columba Kelly published by OCP "Saint Meinrad Entrance and Communion Antiphons for Cathedral Rituals" (Edition #30137973) contains the Ordination Antiphons. The square notes of the melody are owned by the Archabbey
    and are available for free, so I have attached them. I transcribed the neumes into modern
    notation for OCP so I cannot post those. - Ray Hendersonimage
