Part 1 of Sacred Energy (Mass of the Universe) presents the mass in a form that you can interact with. Each individual musical segment has both an audio file (mp3) and a musical score (pdf).
A separate resource, Part 2, contains downloadable pdf’s with the complete text (including melody lines) as well the complete musical score for an accompanist.
Finally, Part 3 has some background commentary on the mass and the Powerpoint slides that illustrate it.
This narrated musical exploration of the mystical sense of oneness and sacredness of all that is was written by William L. (Bill) Wallace of Christchurch, New Zealand.
There are three narrative roles: Human Being, Universe, and Reader/Universe B; a Cantor (soloist); and a Choir (which could be All). “ppt” refers to the Powerpoint slides in Part 3.

Fanfare and Flute or Organ Prelude
Human Being:
In the midst of my dreaming, I perceived a Way,
A Way to the sacred heart of the mystery,
A Way within and beyond the flesh and bone,
Stream and stone of the expanding Cosmos.
So I sang a song of Mass and Energy,
Of Eucharistic Death and Resurrection,
Crying out ‘O Golden Doors Now Open Wide’.

O GOLDEN DOORS NOW OPEN WIDE
(The mystic Eucharistic pilgrimage)
O golden doors now open wide
Revealing myst’ry’s grace,
The grace beyond the imaged word,
Beyond all time and space.
The doors swing open every time The Offering
We leave the realm of things
To enter silent emptiness
And touch what leaving brings.
With Eucharistic thankfulness The Great Thanksgiving
We join the cosmic song
Of atoms and of starlit skies;
The space where we belong.
We move into the mystic space The Fraction
Within the Cross of pain
To find each cross becomes a seed
Which bears life-giving grain.
As bread of life becomes our feast The Feasting
Grief’s wine is turned to praise
And death and resurrection’s ways
Form templates for our days
Human Being:
In the mystic dream the fragments came together,
The parts became a whole
And the heart birthed another song,
A song of oneness,
A song of unity with all that is.

Our home is this planet that we call Earth,
For Earth is God the Presence adorned in cosmic flesh,
The shadow of the mystery who is both host and guest.
We form but one family who share one flesh.
There is but one Nature who forms our flesh.
We are but one person of spirit / flesh,
For Earth is God the Presence adorned in Nature’s flesh,
The shadow of the mystery who is both host and guest.

Human Being:
So I asked the Universe, “How can I become one with you?”
Universe:
If you desire to be at one with me, O human being, you must first listen to my story, for my story is your story.
In the beginning was the mystery,
the oneness, the emptiness,
the nothingness
birthing the rhythmic
energy in all its forms;
spirals, circles, waves, explosions.
And the energy was in process,
the process of the ever-moving, ever-constant One,
the All in All.
Suddenly, energy gave birth to matter
and the song of the Universe was heard,
nova and supernova,
planet and asteroid,
sun and moon,
darkness of space,
sounds of the silence.

Where shall I find wisdom, O Universe?
Universe:
Listen to nature, listen to the sacred writings, listen to the prophets, listen to the Christ.
Reader (Paraphrase of Daniel 4:10-37)
In the Hebrew scriptures a frightened King Nebuchadnezzar turns to Daniel, Master of the Magicians, for an explanation of his dream.
After reflecting in silence, Daniel answered “Your Majesty, you are that tree of which you dreamt, a tree so strong and tall that it touched the sky and could be seen from the ends of the earth.
Your stature and power have grown as great as that tree.
But as the tree was cut down so will your arrogance suffer the same fate.
For seven years you will dwell with the wild animals.
For seven years you will think like an animal and not as a human being.
You will feed on grass like the oxen and be drenched by dew from the Heavens.
If all this leads you to come to your senses, to acknowledge that all power comes from God, to promote justice for the poor and show compassion for the oppressed, you will live for many years with a mind which is at peace.”The events of the King’s life unfolded just as had been predicted in the dream.
At the end of his time with the creatures, King Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed,
“I looked up to Heaven and my sanity returned. I gave praise and honor to the God who is always faithful, whose ways are always just and who has the power to humble all who are arrogant.”

A contemporary prophet says this about liberation:
“Not only do the poor scream, but also the water, the animals, the forests, the soils: that is, the Earth as a living super- organism.
They scream because they are continuously attacked.
They scream because their autonomy and intrinsic value are not recognized.
They scream because they are threatened with extinction.
Every day around ten species of living beings disappear as a result of human aggressiveness in the contemporary industrial process”.“The same logic subjugates nations, preys upon ecosystems and enfeebles the planet Earth. The Earth, with its impoverished sons and daughters, needs liberation. We all live oppressed under a paradigm of civilization that has exiled us from the community of life, which is related to violence against Nature and which makes us lose the reverence for the sacredness and majesty of the Universe. We have forgotten that we are only a link in the immense current of life and that we are co-responsible for the common destiny of humankind and Earth.”
“We have reached the crossroads at which we should decide on the future we want. Our mission is to celebrate the greatness of creation and connect it again to the core where it came from and to which it will go, with care, lightness, joy, reverence and love.”

To pray is to be aware of being connected with the mystery,
with the Universe,
with all that lives and moves,
and with the depths of your own being.
But first you must learn to be silent for it is between your thoughts
and beyond your ever turning mind that paradise can dwell.

BETWEEN OUR THOUGHTS
Between our thoughts there lives a space
Where paradise can dwell;
Beyond our ever-turning mind,
Beyond our strangest hell.There in the quietude of love
The ways of silence reign;
The shackles of division break
And we are one again.With gentleness we take control
Of all that we distort,
Until the mind that was in Christ *
Imbues our every thought.O God of all that brings us peace,
Your silence is our rest.
Beyond our words the stillness comes
And makes our mind its guest.
