Tibi dixit cor meum, quaesivi vultum\ntuum, vultum tuum Domine requiram: ne avertas faciem tuam a me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy heart says to you: I seek your\nface. I need your face, Lord, do not turn away your face away from me.\u201d (Ps\n27(26):8\u20139)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sung by Liborius Lumma, Innsbruck (Austria).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have already commented on this introit on the Second Sunday of Lent.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a decision by Pope Francis, St. Mary Magdalene has been celebrated in the rank of a liturgical feast in the Roman Catholic Church since 2016, and her title \u201capostle to the apostles\u201d became official. Before the Second Vatican Council, the introit Me expectaverunt<\/i> was supposed to be sung on this day; an introit that was regularly used for the commemoration of virgin-martyrs. In the Ordo Cantus Missae<\/i> of 1970 this was changed to Tibi dixit<\/i>. The reason for this choice can be found in Matt 28:1\u20138, where the revelation of Jesus’ ressurection is a visual phenomenon in the first place: That corresponds beautifully to the psalmodic verse \u201cI seek your face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand this introit leads back to Lent where it originates, although Mary Magdalene as one of the women who were the very first apostles of the resurrection has a quite paschal role in the Bible. If I had to decide, I would prefer an introit like Jubilate Deo omnis terra<\/a><\/i> or Vocem jucunditatis<\/a><\/i> or Accipite jucunditatem gloriae vestrae<\/i> from the Commune Apostolorum<\/i> (\u201cAccept the joy of your glory, hallelujah, giving thanks to God, hallelujah, hallelujah, who called you to the heavenly kingdom(s), hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah\u201d).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
