Responsorial Psalm Luke 1:46-55 for the feast of Our Lady of the Risary (Memorial)

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

He looks on His servant in her nothingness;
henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy His name!

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear Him.
He puts forth His arm in strength
and scatters the proud-hearted.

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

He casts the mighty from their thrones
and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty.

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

He protects Israel, His servant,
remembering His mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons for ever.

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

Responsorial Psalm 94(95):1-2,6-9 for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

O that today you would listen to His voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

Come, ring out our joy to the Lord;
hail the rock who saves us.
Let us come before Him, giving thanks,
with songs let us hail the Lord.

O that today you would listen to His voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

Come in; let us bow and bend low;

Responsorial Psalm 145(146):7-10 for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

My soul, give praise to the Lord.

It is the Lord who keeps faith for ever,
who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is He who gives bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free.

My soul, give praise to the Lord.

It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed down.

Original composition, Words and Music by Rene A.

Inspired by lovely Fairfield, CA, where Clarissa stayed for her Physical Therapy Internship during summer of 2022.  We stayed in her beautiful Air BNB residence, and enjoyed the food and weather of California.

Dedicated to all loving peoples of our world, our field of dreams in our midst, come and enjoy peace, hope and love!!!

Sicut per Ignem is a project of catholic symphonic metal with lyrics in Latin.
I call it a project because it is not a band, though I occasionally hire vocalists for some parts...

Here is the website of the project: https://sicutperignem.wordpress.com/

Here are two songs I released two years ago. Although the production is not as polished as I hoped, it is already a good rendition of what I had in mind. You can find the lyrics at the end of this post.

 
 
Esto mi dux

Ubi civitas Sodoma fit,
Ubi palam adulter jam it,
Ubi caedes communis jam est,
Ub' infantes abortus jam est,

Esto mi dux,
Esto mi lux,
Deus, illumina me.

Esto mi rex,
Esto mi lex,
Veritas, educa me.

Quando pereunt maximae res,
Quando permanes unica spes,
Quando m'incidet ultima sors,
Quando veniet tacita mors,

Esto mi vox,
Resona mox,
Domine, voca me.

Esto mi fax,
Esto mi pax,
Spiritus, recrea me.

Ad stellam

Avis meis
Nuntiata
A prophetis
Nova stella.

Firmamentum
Observavi
Ad videndum
Astrum Dei.

Per tot montes,
Per tot lacus
Viatores
Facti sumus.

Passi solem,
Passi frigus
Ut infantem
Coleremus.

Dic, Herodes,
Scribae, ferte,
Sacerdotes,
Respondete :

Ubi rex
Iudaeorum,
Pontifex
In aeternum ?

Ephrata Bethleem, o tu
Iudae minima non es.

Nam exibit e te
Dominator Israel.

Ephrata Bethleem, o tu
Iudae minima non es.

Ad praesaepem
Procidamus,
Salvatorem
Adoremus.

Murrham, aurum
Ei demus,
Et incensum.
Salve, Salus !

This is the salmo responsorial (responsorial psalm) in Spanish for Domingo 26 Ordinario C. It is Salmo 145 - Alabemos al Señor, que viene a salvarnos.

9/23/2022 update. Watch my EWTN interview on YouTube.

At Long Last

At long last, I will make a reappearance on national TV on September 19, 2022.  That is when the long running The Journey Home series will have me as their guest.  This is a show where converts to the Catholic faith share their stories.  I follow a long tradition of intellectual theological giants and philanthropists, and, now that they’ve run out of such, they decided to ask me on to share my story.

Picture: that’s me on The Journey Home

These last nearly thirty years have had their ups and downs, whereas I had wanted a venue to share my story.  At last it has come.  Marcus Grodi, the original host, had just passed the torch to his son, JonMarc Grodi for interviewing duties.

First, They Flew Me In

They flew me in back in April.  Their television studio is in the middle of a rural area in Ohio, where the Grodi family farms on the side.  They had an incredible library indoors, filled with all sorts of theological books, both pro and anti-Catholic.  I came with another former Episcopalian (actually a Charismatic Episcopalian, whereas I grew up Episcopalian in a parish with charismatic leanings),  Fr. Randy Sly.  He went first, which gave me time to gather my thoughts and try to salvage my poor sleep the night before.

The unique aspects of my testimony touch upon my upbringing, my positive experiences in the Christian groups I had participated in, and the tensions I felt with...

 

Now that your flip-flops are put away and your organ shoes are on we're going back to catch two great new scores you may have missed...

Head on over to check out these new publications for All Saints’ Day, plus lots of other music that will work beautifully for any sort of choir from 3 to 300!

Have a great week!

Hello, I haven't been here for quite sometime and I went through a stage where my faith was slipping. Everything was hollow and empty and bleak the more I became enstranged from it. I'm doing my best to strengthen it again. So here is a little verse I wrote about where I'm at now.
