Concert FridayThe music of the Easter Season, for our prayer and reflection, calls us to rejoice, give thanks and continue the mission of Jesus Christ!MUSIC"Easter Song" (performed by GLAD)"Still Rolls the Stone" (Bob Bennett)"Yours Today" (Rory Cooney)"Alleluia" (Mass of a Joyful Heart - Steve Angrisano)

Mary's prophecy echoes through women's music of the ages. From the mystical compositions of the 12th Century polymath Hildegard of Bingen to the rallying songs of the Suffragettes; from Billie Holiday pausing for prayer before closing her shows with Strange Fruit to the women of Greenham Common and those at #MeToo vigils uniting across the years in renditions of We Shall Overcome, this song of a girl in Nazareth continues to convey the power for everyday women to envision a different, better world, and in the very act of envisioning it, to begin to bring it about. The lives and testimonies of working-class women have been largely obscured in history mostly by being ignored or condescended to, or in Mary's case, by being elevated to the other-worldly, the Queen of Heaven, not a normal human. But Mary's prophecy sings out in defiance of all that. The talk concludes with a recording Canticle of the Turning, a ‘vigorous paraphrase of the Magnificat which presents Mary as a country girl who is more than a meek maiden' a paraphrase of Luke 1 by Rory Cooney, tune: Star of the County Down, Irish traditional, performed by Rory Cooney, Gary Daigle & Theresa Donohoo from ‘Safety Harbor', 1990. A talk for The Fourth Sunday of Advent, 19 December 2021. Find the text to this and all my talks at bit.ly/johndavies-talks

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year BSCRIPTURE:  John 6: 41-51Learning more and understanding the depth of the gift of the Eucharist awakens in us a better way of loving and living.  We are no longer distracted by our own doubts and fears.  We are no longer confused by the falsehoods by which others might try to manipulate us.  We are no longer in this by ourselves.  Jesus is present in us and to us and we are united in Him and by Him.MUSIC: "Bread of Life" - -Rory Cooney"I Am the Living Bread that came down from heaven."

Seeds are germinated and nurtured in the deep dark black of soil. A newly liberated people draws on this rich metaphor in understanding how God's jubilee vision grows in them: from tender shoots of justice and praise, into oaks of righteousness. The prophet Isaiah helps proclaim God's release to these former captives, attending to their bodies and their cities, restoring both dignity and structures of justice. Seattle Mennonite Church has similarly long been called into the prophetic Community Ministry of bodily dignity and reforming our city's structures. God continues to be faithful in opening new paths to dignity and justice as we have experienced life alongside our neighbors who live on the streets. Listen as Pastor Megan preaches Isaiah (minute 17:47) and as Pastor Jonathan shares an exciting update about God's liberative work in our community ministries (minute 28:05). --Scripture: Isaiah 61.1-11Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash--Permission to podcast the music in this service obtained from One License with license #A-726929.

Today, we tented with some Black Anabaptist kindred: Osheta Moore, Jerrell Williams, and Glen Guyton. Sister Osheta called her "Dear White Peacemakers" following to show up for anti-racism in better ways than we are. Pastor Megan follows her lead: I'm sorry. I'm listening. I'm learning. Also: Mennonites & Police Abolitionism - if we don't have the ancestors we need in this work, then our call is to BECOME the ancestors we wish we had.

This week, we jump from the gospel of Mark into Luke's distinctly different world and voice, as experienced in the book of Acts. Jesus is kidnapped by a cloud (!!!), and the disciples are left, jaws dropped, gawking at the sky. They are looking in the wrong direction, two messengers inform them, and they are also looking for the wrong thing altogether. Jesus doesn't call them - or us - "back to normal," but to something altogether different; you might even say ANYthing but normal. Listen in to our worship, praying, singing, and wondering together about crafting something new on the other side of this pandemic.+++Acts 1.1-14IMAGE: detail from Albrecht Dürer, "The Ascension," public domain+++Permission to podcast the music in this service obtained from One License with license #A-726929.

We are closing out Advent with our second annual “OYH Lessons & Carols.” You’ll hear a range of great music from a variety of composers. You’ll also hear non-scriptural readings woven throughout, read by friends of the podcast: Meredith Augustin, Rory Cooney, Bex Gaunt, David Haas, Carol Browning, Jaime Cortez, Kate Williams, and Audrey and Clare Reichert. Whether you listen while driving in the car, baking Christmas cookies, preparing for liturgy, or anyplace else, we hope that this celebration will serve as a moment of pause and reflection during this busy time of year.So, please open your hymnals!

On September 29, 2019, the five member of the St. Louis Jesuits presented their final concert together, and OYH was there! Today, co-hosts Zack and Matt are joined by several guests to look back on the contributions of this pioneering group of composers. You’ll hear from listeners, pastoral musicians, and liturgical composers including Tom Booth, Lorraine Hess, Carol Browning, Bob Moore, Rory Cooney, Craig Colson, and Jaime Cortez. Most importantly, you’ll hear lots of our favorite songs from the past fifty years.So, please open your hymnals to the music of the St. Louis Jesuits!

To conclude our Lenten series, we are bringing you our Easter Vigil episode, originally released in March, 2018..Join hosts Matt Reichert and Zack Stachowski as they return to composers Gary Daigle and Rory Cooney, this time in conversation together about one of their best-known and best-loved collaborations. You'll hear about "homiletic" texts, the song's intended use for rites of initiation, and the latest OYH liturgical music "bombshell". Our conversation is also joined by Diana Macalintal who shares more information about the RCIA and the concept of "covenant" in the ritual action of the Easter Vigil.So, please open your hymnal to "Covenant Hymn."

Today we are continuing our series for the New Year. Traditionally, at the end of December, we set resolutions or goals for the new calendar year ahead. Over the next few episodes, we’ll be looking at ministerial resolutions to help inform your own goals and targets. Last week we spoke with Timothy Johnston about setting goals for professional development. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I encourage you to check it out.Today, we’ll hear from Christian Cosas about a new way to think about – and to track – your liturgy planning. Plus, we’ll hear some thoughts about the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord from Rory Cooney in this week’s Ministry Moment.

I am willing to wager that all of us engaged in pastoral ministry would consider ourselves to be disciples – believers of the Good News, followers of Christ. I’m also willing to wager that, just like the first disciples, we are imperfect – sometime stumbling, sometimes second-guessing, sometimes fearful and unsure.Ministry is never easy, and it is made all the more difficult in challenging times like these. We are called to accompany those to whom we minister as we all traverse the rocky road of politics, of interpersonal relationships, of messy life events, and more. We are called to help make sense of what all seems, at times, to be senseless. We are called to express the Truth with love and honesty.In today’s episode, we discuss how to think about the ways we can – or should – acknowledge and respond to the issues happening in our nation and our world. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, as we’ve seen news stories and social media commentary about immigration policy and strategy, especially on our southern border. To help frame these issues, we’ll hear from Rory Cooney. I have long admired Rory for his beautiful compositions and profound texts. More so, I marvel at Rory’s ability to speak so well about how the Gospel meets real life. Today, he will share some of his wisdom, his study, and his experience.

It's our OYH Easter Vigil episode! Much like the vigil, this episode is longer and packed full of lots of beautiful moments. Join hosts Matt Reichert and Zack Stachowski as they return to composers Gary Daigle and Rory Cooney, this time in conversation together about one of their best-known and best-loved collaborations. You'll hear about "homiletic" texts, the song's intended use for rites of initiation, and the latest OYH musical "bombshell"! Our conversation is also joined by Diana Macalintal who shares more information about the RCIA and the concept of "covenant" in the ritual action of the Easter Vigil.  So, please open your hymnal to "Covenant Hymn."

In this episode, we host our own little composers forum! Matt and Zack speak with Gary Daigle - composer, musician, and producer - about his work with The Dameans. They discuss collaborative song writing, the importance of a broad harmonic vocabulary, and how intentional invitation can change your life. As a bonus, you'll hear from a bevy of previous podcast guests including Rory Cooney, Kate Cuddy, Fr. Fran O'Brien, Tony Alonso, and Marty Haugen. It's a liturgical composers family reunion, and you get a front row seat! So, please open your hymnal to "You Have Anointed Me."

Rory Cooney is a not only a gifted composer, he is also a prophetic writer of texts. In this interview, Zack Stachowski and Matt Reichert speak with Rory about the background of one of his best-loved pieces, "Canticle of the Turning," to learn more about his theological and catechetical treatment of the Magnificat text. They also discuss the use of secular Irish folk melody with special guest, Ian Callanan, who joins the conversation from Ireland.  So, please open your hymnal to "Canticle of the Turning."

My message changed a little bit because at this Mass I was particularly moved by the setting of Psalm 40, "Here I Am, Lord," by Rory Cooney.
