Sing Psalms to the Lord

Ps 65: 4 All the earth shall bow down before you, O God, and shall sing to you, shall sing to your name, O Most High! Responsorial Psalm 39(40):2,4,7-10 Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will. I waited, I waited for the Lord and he stooped down to me; he heard my cry. He put a new song into my mouth, praise of our God. Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will. You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings, but an open ear. You do not ask for holocaust and victim. Instead, here am I. Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will. In the scroll of the book it stands written that I should do your will. My God, I delight in your law in the depth of my heart. Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will. Your justice I have proclaimed in the great assembly. My lips I have not sealed; you know it, O Lord. Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

As we come to the end of another liturgical year, we, the Choir of Our Lady of the Rosary RC Church, express our gratitude to you who have listened and supported our music ministry during the course of the year. We pray for God’s blessings on you and hope that you will stay with us, as we start a new liturgical year of psalms, with the coming of Advent. From the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians 1:15-18 “He is the image of the unseen God and the first-born of all creation, for in Him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, Thrones, Dominations, Sovereignties, Powers – all things were created through Him and for Him. Before anything was created, He existed, and He holds all things in unity. Now the Church is His body, He is its head.” Reading from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

Ps 118: 137, 124 You are just, O Lord, and Your judgement is right; treat Your servant in accord with Your merciful love. Responsorial Psalm 89(90):3-6,12-14,17 O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next. You turn men back to dust and say: ‘Go back, sons of men.’ To Your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday, come and gone, no more than a watch in the night. O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next. You sweep men away like a dream, like the grass which springs up in the morning. In the morning it springs up and flowers: by evening it withers and fades. O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next. Make us know the shortness of our life that we may gain wisdom of heart. Lord, relent! Is Your anger for ever? Show pity to Your servants. O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next. In the morning, fill us with Your love; we shall exult and rejoice all our days. Let the favour of the Lord be upon us: give success to the work of our hands. O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next.

Blest be God the Father, and the Only Begotten Son of God, and also the Holy Spirit, for He has shown us His merciful love. Responsorial Psalm 8:4-9 How great is Your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth! When I see the heavens, the work of Your hands, the moon and the stars which You arranged, what is man that You should keep him in mind, mortal man that You care for him? How great is Your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth! Yet You have made him little less than a god; with glory and honour You crowned him, gave him power over the works of Your hand, put all things under his feet. How great is Your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth! All of them, sheep and cattle, yes, even the savage beasts, birds of the air, and fish that make their way through the waters. How great is Your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth!

Gospel ReadingOn the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but on entering discovered that the body of the Lord Jesus was not there. As they stood there not knowing what to think, two men in brilliant clothes suddenly appeared at their side. Terrified, the women lowered their eyes. But the two men said to them, ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here; he has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee: that the Son of Man had to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified, and rise again on the third day?' And they remembered his words.Luke 24: 1-8Our Lord is risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!We wish you and your loved ones a Blessed Easter. May God grant you His love and His grace today and always.From the Choir of Our Lady of the RosaryVerdun, St. John,Barbados
