damon intrabartolo - epiphany lyrics
[all students]
in nómine patris
et filius
et spiritus sancti
introibo ad altare dei
amen
[priest, spoken]
i want to welcome all of you back. i hope that christmas was a time of great joy for you and your families. today is the feast of the epiphany, the celebration of the arrival of the three wise men to pay homage to the baby jesus. i want you to imagine what that journey must have been like, a journey resting entirely on faith that they would know where they were going once they arrived. imagine what a joy it must have been for them to have finally reached their destination.
seniors, you’re coming to the end of four years at st. cecilia’s. you’ve lived together, studied together, and most importantly prayed together; strength for the journey. we begin in the name of the father, son and the holy spirit. let us take a moment now to call to mind to those times when we’ve fallen from god’s grace
i confess–
[students, spoken]
to almighty god, and to you, my brothers and sisters. that i have sinned through my own fault; in my thoughts and in my words, in what i have done and in what i have failed to do. and i ask the blessed mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters–
[peter, spoken]
to pray for me to the lord, our god.
[students (except peter)]
yes, pray for him to the lord, your god!
[ensemble man]
one of these boys just ain’t like the others!
[ensemble woman]
loves his female singers!
[ensemble woman]
loves to cook!
[ensemble man]
looks around in gym!
[ensemble woman]
it pleases him!
[students (except peter)]
thoughts enslave him
somebody save him!
[ensemble man]
’cause he knows that he is taking chances
[ensemble man]
and he knows that his romance is doomed!
[ensemble woman]
he’d sacrifice his soul to feed his vice!
[students (except peter)]
heaven severed
h-ll is forever!
dig down deep and save your soul
grave mistakes will take their toll
every sin is entered in
heaven comes with discipline!
[peter]
but it doesn’t all make sense
what i feel is real
[students (except peter)]
no more dodging, god is watching
his eye is on the lowly sparrow
the road is long the path is narrow!
[ensemble woman]
and your mother, god how she will suffer!
[ensemble man]
will your father break to bear the shame?
[ensemble man & ensemble woman]
yes, you were a force in their divorce
[students (except peter)]
trust the shepherd
god make an effort!
[ensemble man]
will you drag that poor boy down there with you?
[ensemble woman]
he’s unsure and you can change his mind
[ensemble man]
if you love him so you’ll let him go
[students (except peter)]
life is choices
live by our voices!
dig down deep and save your soul
grave mistakes will take their toll
every sin is entered in
heaven comes with discipline!
[peter]
but it doesn’t all make sense
if the love is strong
[ensemble]
no more dodging, god is watching
his eye is on the lowly sparrow
the road is long, the path is narrow!
[peter’s mom, spoken]
our first reading today is the story of how despite the best efforts of a single mother a child can still go horribly, horribly, wrong.
[peter, spoken]
mom!
[peter’s mom, spoken]
for his eighth birthday, peter asked for an ez-bake oven. his father asked for a divorce. to me, the link between those two events was as strong as peter’s attraction to my makeup table
we sent him to catholic boarding school thinking it might help, but when he met his roommate jason, the two of them locked eyes, and i said to myself, “claire, you wanted grandchildren. instead, you’re gonna get ambiguous christmas cards from south beach.”
[ensemble woman, spoken]
please join us in singing our offertory hymn, number 279, “a bender among us.”
(sung)
there’s a bender among us, he must be exposed
he’ll kidnap our children then take off their clothes
a bender among us, there’s pink in our flock
a boy without conscience who’s led by his-
[peter’s mom, spoken]
c-ckamamie. pure c-ckamamie that this isn’t a choice. don’t do this to me, peter.
[priest]
the peace of the lord be with you always
[all]
and also with you
[priest]
let us offer each other a sign of christ’s peace
[priest, spoken]
this is the lamb of god, who takes away the sin of the world. happy are those who are called to this table.
[peter]
lord, i am not worthy to receive you
but only say the word and i shall be
[students (except peter)]
lord, he is not worthy to receive you
[peter, spoken]
father?
[priest, spoken]
not at a funeral, peter.
[matt]
i’d like to start with just a
if we could take a moment
if maybe we were silent
or we had spoken
[peter, spoken]
mom, what is it? ivy? nadia? matt?
(sung)
is it i, lord?
is it i?
[male students, female students]
timothy, romans, corinthians, leviticus
timothy, romans, corinthians, leviticus hate the sinner, hate the sin!
timothy, romans, corinthians, leviticus created in his image. abomination!
timothy, romans, corinthians, leviticus abomination! abomination!
[students (except peter)]
abomination!
abomination
[group 1 & group 2]
bear bear
the cross
the cross bear
bear the cross! cross!
bear the cross! bear the cross!
bear the cross! bear the cross!
[priest, spoken]
let us go forth, in peace to love and serve the lord.
[all, spoken]
thanks be to god.
