Strengthen, O God, your Church in the sacraments of your grace, that we, in union with the teaching and prayers of your servant Cyril of Jerusalem, may enter more fully into your Paschal mystery; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

SEVEN LAST WORDS FROM THE CROSS
(New York Premiere) – James MacMillan
Widely admired as one of Scottish composer James MacMillan’s finest achievements, a masterful setting of the traditional text based on a compilation from all four gospels to form a sequential presentation of the last seven sentences uttered by Christ.
‘‚Ķwhat riches there are for those who scale these heights. MacMillan’s conviction in this music, stemming from his deep faith, is passionately obvious and could not leave anyone unmoved by this experience.’ Paul Spicer
