23rd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
ABOUT THE MUSIC:
Entrance Antiphon: Iustus es, Domine "You are just O Lord, and your judgment is right; treat your servant in accord with your merciful love." (PSALM 119:137, 124)
This weekend you'll hear references to LOVE (Love Divine, all Loves Excelling; Loving and Forgiving) and LIGHT (Christ Be Our Light). SJ is celebrating a Sacrament Mass so music there will reference the Holy Spirit and First Eucharist. HM and SG will close with Let There Be Peace on Earth, a nod to the ongoing strife in our time. SH will honor the labor of all with For the Fruits of All Creation. Happy Labor Day one and all...
Communion Antiphon: Quemadmodum desiderat cervus "Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God; my soul is thirsting for God, the living God." (PSALM 42: 2-3) or "I am the light of the world, says the Lord: whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (Jn 8:12)

"Notes" from the Director of Music Ministries for 23rd Sunday OT: THE FUNCTION OF THE DOmM
I am struck time and again how my passion for Sacred Music and the Arts comes across not as PASSIONATE but as argumentative, or even, DEFENSIVE. I'm working on it, trust me. (Read more...)
