December 31, 2017
Lord, every nation on earth will adore you The Epiphany of the Lord January 7, 2018 Our psalm settings in English are by Alejandro D. Consolacion II and Tinnah M. dela Rosa while our psalm in Filipino is by Jeffrey Ray C. Miguel. Paying attention to the background of this responsorial psalm will help you sing it with greater understanding of its relationship to the solemnity of the Epiphany. Much of the psalm is an intercessory prayer for the king that he be able to fulfill his mission of implementing God's plan of justice and peace for the poor. This was a tall order; even Christ the King was not able to fill it without the sacrifice of his life. Through baptism we are God's kingly people. This means that all nations will come to adore Christ if we lead them through lives of justice and peace. Your singing of this psalm is not only a proclamation of what will be but also an invitation that we, God's people, make it happen. (Cf.

In this responsorial psalm you call the assembly to become conscious of who they are - a holy family who dwell in the house of the Lord.
