| Entrance | Praise him as he mounts the skies |
| Kyrie | Kyrie for 3 voices adapted from Byrd (mcb) |
| Gloria | Psallite |
| Psalm | Ps 46 (Stephen Dean) |
| Gospel Acclamation | Easter Alleluia (plainchant; verse Ellie Slorach) |
| Preparation of the Gifts | Viri Galilei (William Byrd, 1540-1623) |
| Sanctus, Acclamation, Amen | Mass of Creation (Marty Haugen) |
| Agnus Dei | Lamb of God II (mcb) |
| Communion | I will see you again (Psallite) |

| Recessional | Christ Triumphant |
The entrance antiphon from the Missal, the first reading (from the beginning of Acts) and the offertory antiphon from the Graduale all asked the same question:
Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking into the sky?
We sang the opening five-part chorus of Byrd’s setting, alternating the enigmatic-but-excitable narrative of the two men in white with the more solidly jubilant alleluias.
By contrast later we took words from today’s responsorial Psalm to heart:
Sing praise with all your skill
in singing Mozart’s serenely beautiful setting of the opening of Ps 116(117). Aimée Presswood sang the solo role with warmth and clarity and poise.
