Praise the Lord, my soul!
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
September 6, 2015
Our settings in English are by Alejandro D. Consolacion and Tinnah M. dela Rosa.
In this Sunday's responsorial psalm you tell the story of salvation and invite the assembly to sing God's praise. In order to sing this story with authenticity, you must believe it yourself. Do you? Do you shape your life according to it? Does the way you live sing God's praise? (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 205)

Thursday Music #133
August 27, 2015
What does it mean to glorify God? We call to God often in times of trouble, but is it all the greater to come unto Him when things are doing well with us?
Psalm 8, on which this song is based, asks who we are in the eyes of God. It is not much about our greatness as human persons as it is about the beneficence of God who treats us with unimaginable dignity and grace. The song also invites us to give praise to God, our creator, who loves us with no conditions. He created a magnificent world that sustains each of us every day. All we must do is appreciate and give back praise to Him by caring for His creation as His stewards.
As we pray and reflect with this powerful song, The Majesty and Glory of Your Name composed by Tom Fettke, may we be reminded of God’s beauty manifested through His work. Likewise, may we also take to heart and praise God for crowning us with the honor of being a little less than the angels and for giving us the important task of caring for His creation. May we recognize the beauty of His creation and be moved to revere and praise Him. May God’s majesty be praised, now and always.
Many thanks to waymarkmedia for the video and to Em Alcantara for the reflection!

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord
Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
August 23, 2015
Our psalm setting in English for next Sunday is by Tinnah M. dela Rosa.
The Lectionary gives you the opportunity this week to really mean what you say. For the third time, you are asked to sing "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord." This can become your moment of choice just as the confrontation in the gospel between Jesus and the disciples is their moment of choice. Do you really believe? Are you willing to follow Christ no matter where he leads and what the cost? (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 197)

Our setting in English is by Tinnah M. dela Rosa while our setting in Filipino is by Dennis N. Marasigan.
The journey of discipleship is long and difficult. But God constantly surprises you with new nourishment right at the moment when you are most depleted and discouraged. Above all, God offers you the nourishment given by Christ. When have the words of Jesus sustained you? When has his Body and Blood in the Eucharist given you comfort, or strength, or hope? (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 187)
