STUDENTS (singing in Latin) In nomine patris, patris Amen, amen In nomine patris, patris Amen, amen (or something close...)
PRIEST I want to welcome all of you back I hope 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 fate That they would know where they were going once they arrived Imagine what a joy it must have been for them To finally reach their destination Seniors, you're coming to an end of your time at St. Cecelia's
LUCAS Yeah!
PRIEST You've lived together, studied together And most importantly, prayed together Strength for the journey We begin in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Let us take a moment now to call to mind those times When we have fallen from God's grace I confess...
PRIEST & STUDENTS ...to almighty God And to you my brothers and sisters That...(students continue praying)
PRIEST Peter! You're not fooling anyone! Being an altar boy by day doesn't forgive what you do at night!
PETER And you, my brothers and sisters Pray for me to the Lord our God!
LUCAS One among us dances with the Devil
NADIA Loves my brother, God it makes me sick
??? Seven years in school
IVY He's played it cool
STUDENTS You can't keep it, tell us your secret
IVY And for risking it all on your salvation (?) I can fix you if you'd like to try
MATT Think your actions through
STUDENTS What's wrong with you? So mistaken, lost and forsaken! Dig down deep and save your soul Grave mistakes will take their toll Every sin is entered in Heaven comes with discipline
PETER I've hid it all so well, tell me how you know
STUDENTS No more dodging, God is watching His eye is on the lowly sparrow The road is long, the path is narrow
ZACK Your Catholic rules are not suggestions
??? Read the Bible
IVY Would you speak for God?
??? Why can't you obey?
??? You've lost your way
STUDENTS Scorned, reviled, waste of a child
SISTER CHANTELLE? Time is ticking, graduation day
IVY You have five months left to change your mind
STUDENTS Lock those thoughts away, it's judgment day Heaven's never, Hell 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 Doesn't it all make sense if the love is strong?
STUDENTS No more dodging, God is watching His eye is on the lowly sparrow The road is long, the path is narrow
CLAIRE Peter, honey, are you sleeping through mass again? You know, if you keep this up, you're going straight to hell
PETER Mom?
CLAIRE 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 Mother, please!
CLAIRE For his eighth birthday, Peter asked for an Easy 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
PETER Mom, this really isn't the best...
CLAIRE I sent him to a Catholic boarding school thinking it would 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 going to get ambiguous Christmas cards from South Beach'
IVY? Please join us in singing our offertory hymn, number 273, 'A Bender Among Us'
STUDENTS There's a bender among us, he must be exposed Or he'll kidnap our children and take off their clothes There's a bender among us, there's pink in our flock A boy without conscience, whose led by his...
CLAIRE ...Cocktail: Peter's second favorite movie His favorite: Top Gun The signs were everywhere, we were practically tripping over them
PETER Father?
PRIEST Not in the 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 Mom? What is it? Ivy? Nadia? Matt? Is it I? Lord, is it I?
STUDENTS Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus Love the sinner, hate the sin, created in his image Abomination, abomination, abomination, abomination Bare the cross, bare the cross, bare the cross (?)
PRIEST Let us go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord
STUDENTS Praise be to God
PETER Hail Mary full of grace... (continues to rapidly pray)
