Saints LightThe Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy)
At every Mass, just before the Eucharistic Prayer, the Church joins the song the prophet heard the angels sing (Isaias 6:3) and the crowd's cry on Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:9). The Latin is the Church's own text and the English is a translation made for this app.
The prayer
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
In Latin
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
Pray it this week
At Mass this week, sing or say the Sanctus remembering that you are joining the angels, not just the people around you.
