  • Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133
    Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133 Monday 12th October - Psalm 129 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— 2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” 4 The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. 5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, 7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 8 nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!” It is interesting that Psalm 128 and 129 sit side by side. They seem to sit at odds with one another. Psalm 128 speaks of Yahweh blessing his faithful people. They enjoy prosperity and the fruit of their labour. It is a picture of peace and blessing. And then comes this Psalm, clunking like a car accidentally put into reverse. Here we see a people long afflicted (v. 1-2). As a nation, they have had their backs ploughed. And the rest of the Psalm prays for the destruction of the wicked nations and individuals who would seek to harm and destroy Israel. It’s possible that this Psalm makes you feel uncomfortable, or even wonder if this Psalm is appropriate for the lips of God’s people.

  • Psalm 130 Pastor Jason Van Bemmel a Song of Ascents. 1 out of the Depths I Cry to You, O LORD!
    Out of the Depths, Redemption! Psalm 130 Pastor Jason Van Bemmel A Song of Ascents. 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! 2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! 3 If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; 6 my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. 7 O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. 8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Introduction: Singing the Blues to God I love music, and I tend to like music that has a bit of a dark edge to it – good music, that is, like the blues. I enjoyed listening to Muddy Waters on the flight back from Dubai in July. My favorite Christian singer-songwriter is Andrew Peterson, who also tends to have a raw, honest edge to his music, which is both dark and hopeful, a blend of melancholy and joy. Perhaps the same thing which makes my taste is music tend toward the blues also makes me love Psalm 130. I don’t know if I can say for sure that Psalm 130 is my absolute favorite psalm. That’s almost like asking me which of my children is my favorite.

  • Suggestions for Funeral Music______Saint John Paul II Parish 279 Hamilton Street Southbridge, MA 01550-1876
    _________________Suggestions for Funeral Music_________________ Saint John Paul II Parish 279 Hamilton Street Southbridge, MA 01550-1876 Making Musical Selections___________________________________________________________________ As Catholic Christians, we believe that music is not only a source of comfort for the family and friends of the deceased, but also a truly mystical and divine gift of God for our participation in the receiving of Jesus Christ in the Funeral Mass. It is our desire to provide you with music that not only speaks to you personally but is also honoring to God. Please contact our Director of Music, Brandon Vennink at 508-208-7774 or [email protected] should you need any assistance in music selections. The Participation of Other Musicians__________________________________________________________ If there is a family member or friend you would like to assist in the music ministry, we would love to honor your request but must have sufficient notice so as to plan rehearsals and be properly prepared. In accordance with American Guild of Organists policy, our Parish Musician has first rights to all liturgical celebrations. If you desire to use another musician, you must receive permission from the Parish Musician and pay his regular service fee. Specific Musical Selections for the Funeral Mass_________________________________________________ Because of the solemn nature of the Funeral Mass, the organ and other instruments are used primarily for the accompanying of the singing assembly. Prelude and postlude music is not usually used as detailed in the Ceremonial of Bishops. Entrance Song The Entrance Song begins the Funeral Liturgy. It should be a song that everyone is able to sing and helps the family and friends gathered to focus on Jesus’ promise of eternal life and the resurrection of the earthly body when Christ returns.

  • 4 Psalms of Repentance
    PSALMS OF REPENTANCE Psalm 6 Pattern for Repentance I. The Cry (1-2) Psalm 6:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. II. The Care of God’s Delay (3-7) Psalm 6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. III. The Cure (8-10) Psalm 6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly. Psalm 32 Living Victoriously I. The Blessedness of Guilt-free Living (1-2) Psalm 32:1 A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

  • Preparing to Celebrate the Funeral Mass
    PREPARING TO CELEBRATE THE FUNERAL MASS Helping to plan the funeral liturgy can be of great comfort to those who are mourning, but if they have an indication of what the desires of the deceased are, the Mass can be even more meaningful to all who celebrate it. Planning your funeral Mass can deepen your faith in the eternal life God has prepared for you. Ritual and music facilitate the grief process. Music can be a catalyst for expressing feelings. Music can contribute to managing grief. Bereaved should be encouraged to use “significant” hymns. Music helps the community to bond with the bereaved. Music expresses our belief in eternal life and the resurrection of the dead. The Psalms: provide revelations about our human response to loss; help to express the loss; reminders about trust in God without denying our feelings of abandonment, emptiness, anger, searching; allow community to respond Distinguishing between secular and sacred music can be difficult. There are “secular” songs which are religious, just as there is sacred music which may not be suitable for a funeral. The music should speak of Christ, community, prayer, and the religious dimensions of your faith. Taped selections or accompaniments are not permitted by the general rules of the Catholic Church. Music in Catholic Worship, issued by the Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy in 1983, states that “to determine the value of a given musical element in a liturgical celebration a threefold judgment must be made: musical, liturgical, and pastoral.” The Musical Judgment – Is the music technically, aesthetically, and expressively good? This judgment is basic and primary and should be made by competent musicians.

  • Songs for the Journey Learning to Pray from the Psalms of Ascents
    Songs for the Journey Learning to Pray from the Psalms of Ascents Psalm 120 Homesick for Peace Relief from distressing pressures is given in two exemplary spiritual responses to living in a fallen and hostile world. Psalm 121 The Guardianship of God Comfort for vulnerable travelers is found by recalling two aspects of the Lord’s protection. Psalm 122 The Joys of Jerusalem Deep spiritual delight is found in three aspects of the Holy City. Psalm 123 Looking Heavenward Training is given though four insights into how to pray when you’ve had more than enough of the world’s painful rejection. Psalm 124 The LORD is on Our Side Gratitude is encouraged through two expressive responses for the LORD’s timely and powerful deliverance from peril. Psalm 125 Safe and Secure from All Alarms Faith is bolstered through two radically contrasting portraits between those who do and do not trust the LORD. Psalm 126 The Joy of Restoration Joy in the Lord’s restoration of His people is viewed from two perspectives. Psalm 127 The Lord-Built House Humility is cultivated as Solomon reminds God’s people that they are utterly dependent on God in two important realms. Psalm 128 The Lord-Blessed House Fear of the Lord is encouraged through three fundamental insights into the blessings of God on a marriage and family. Psalm 129 The Survivor’s Song Confidence in the Lord’s deliverance of His people is expressed through two different means. Psalm 130 The Ultimate Hope of Forgiveness Convictions regarding forgiveness of sin are expressed in two different arenas.

Part One (Analytical Monograph) In his composition, Chichester Psalms for choir, solo treble, and orchestra, Leonard Bernstein assembles excerpts in Hebrew from the Book of Psalms to narrate a story of conflict and resolution. Bernstein develops his narrative musically by foreshadowing, summarizing, and dramatizing conflict. Specifically, he alludes to key areas in advance of their arrival by manipulating sequential repetition, melodic contour, and ambiguous harmonies. He concisely restates the music he has already presented in an eclectic juxtaposition of keys, textures, and themes. Finally, the composer dramatizes conflict by exploring distant keys at the micro and ii macro levels. The musical application of these devices is notable for the way that it illuminates the meaning of the text.
