Hello everyone,
I’d like to share with you a new musical interpretation of the Magnificat, Mary’s beautiful canticle of praise and trust in God.
Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae5CAvqriTY
This version is a simple and prayerful setting, meant to help listeners enter into the spirit of Mary’s words — her humility, her joy, and her deep faith.
I hope it might be a blessing to someone — whether in personal prayer, group devotion, or simply as a moment of peace.
Any thoughts or impressions are warmly welcome.
Peace in Christ,
Grace Lifing
Responsorial Psalm 103(104):1,24,29-31,34 for Pentecost
Send forth Your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth.
Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great You are,
How many are Your works, O Lord!
The earth is full of Your riches.
Send forth Your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth.

Sequence for Pentecost. Voice and 6-string nylon string guitar performed by Richard Schletty. Text: Sequence for Pentecost, 13th Century; translated by Peter Scagnelli, © 1983. Tune: Mode I; accompaniment by Adrian Engels, © Interkerkelijke Stichting voor het Kerklied.
There are two days on the church calendar (Easter and Pentecost) when the liturgy calls for a "sequence," a special hymn that may be sung or recited before the gospel. The sequence for Pentecost dates from the 12th century. This setting's text is an English translation by Peter Scagnelli. It is #981 in GIA's RitualSong hymnbook and #470 in GIA's Gather Comprehensive, Second Edition.

Holy Spirit, Lord Divine,
Come, from heights of heav’n and shine.
Come with blessed radiance bright!
Come, O Father of the poor,
Come, whose treasured gifts endure.
Come, our heart’s unfailing light!
Of consolers, wisest, best,
And our souls’ most welcome guest,
Sweet refreshment, sweet repose.
In our labor rest most sweet,
Pleasant coolness in the heat,
Consolation in our woes.
Light most blessed, shine with grace
In our heart’s most secret place,
Fill your faithful through and through!
Left without your presence here,
Life itself would disappear,
Nothing thrives apart from you!
Cleanse our soiled hearts of sin,
Arid souls refresh within,
Wounded lives to health restore!
Bend the stubborn heart and will,
Melt the frozen, warm the chill,
Guide the wayward home once more!
On the faithful who are true
And profess their faith in you,
In your sev’n-fold gift descend!
Give us virtue’s sure reward,
Give us your salvation, Lord,
Give us joys that never end!

Pray a rosary for each person to Our Lady of Fatima.
I realize the tremendous treasures and resources from Our Lady of Fatima, as her request to recite the rosary for her to obtain peace on earth.
There are so many people on the Top Catholic Songs website, and I just feel that if we can pray a rosary for each person on here, upon Our Lady of Fatima. I am certain there will be a lot of blessings that we will obtain from Our Lady of Fatima.
Responsorial Psalm 46(47):2-3,6-9 for the Ascension of the Lord
God goes up with shouts of joy; the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,
great king over all the earth.
