The text of the Sanctus comes from two texts in the Bible. The first part (Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.) comes from Isaiah 6:3 which describes Isaiah's vision of the throne of God.  This part of the prayer is recited in Jewish liturgy during the Kedusha, a prayer said during the cantor's repetition of the Amidah (or 18 Blessings). This prayer is prayed three times a day by the faithful. The second part of the prayer beginning with Benedictus (Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.) comes from Matthew 21:9 which describes Jesus' entrance to Jerusalem (which we read every Palm Sunday). It is worthwhile to note that the word Hosanna comes from the Hebrew language and literally means “help” or “save, I pray.” It has also come to be an exclamation of praise and could be translated as “Praise to You, in the highest.” When we sing the Sanctus at Mass, it is a chance for all of God’s people to join the entire hosts of heaven in praising our almighty Father for all He has done for us. So sing Hosanna in the highest with a full heart, for our Lord deserves our praise and we are in good company.  Let’s live our faith and our liturgy together.
