February 25, 2018
Lord, you have the words to everlasting life Third Sunday of Lent (B) March 4, 2018 The English psalm settings are by Tinnah M. dela Rosa and Joey Delos Santos while the Filipino setting is by Dennis N. Marasigan. The Law of God (first reading and psalm) and the wisdom of God (second reading) come together in Jesus. When you sing about the Law in the responsorial psalm, then, you sing about Jesus. As you reflect on the psalm, substitute the name of Jesus for the word "Law"; for example "Jesus is perfect, refreshing the soul; Jesus is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple," etc. What insights into Jesus does this yield? How might it affect your singing of this psalm? (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 75) To download the music sheet with a higher resolution, please click here.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living Second Sunday of Lent (B) February 25, 2018 The English psalm settings are by Tinnah M. dela Rosa and Jeffrey Ray C. Miguel while the Filipino setting is by Jeffrey Ray C. Miguel. To "walk before the Lord, in the land of the living" (psalm refrain) does not mean that you will never face death. On the contrary, the readings and gospel tell you just the opposite. Ask God this week for the grace you need to sing this psalm with the courage and the confidence it requires. (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 71) To download the music sheet with a higher resolution, please click here.

Sunday Psalm #287
February 11, 2018
Your ways, O Lord, are love and truth First Sunday of Lent (B) February 18, 2018 The English psalm setting is by Tinnah M. dela Rosa. In this presponsorial psalm you reflect on the meaning of the covenant and ask to be led toward more faithful observance of its ways. How is God calling you this Lent to deepen you living of the covenant? How will you, like Jesus in the desert, struggle with this call? Who or what will help you say yes? (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 67) To download the music sheet with a higher resolution, please click here.

Sunday Psalm #286
February 4, 2018
I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) February 11, 2018 The English psalm setting is by Tinnah M. dela Rosa. To prepare to sing this psalm, reflect on a time when you experienced alienation from God and others. What caused this rift? Who or what helped you turn to God for healing? What did you learn from this experience about the mercy of God? How can you tell this story in your singing of this psalm? (Cf. Living Liturgy 2012, p. 55) To download the music sheet with a higher resolution, please click here.
