St. Margaret Clitherow (1556-1586) was an English layperson and recusant – one who refused to give up the Catholic faith during the Reformation. She was martyred by government officials who placed a sharpened stone at the base of her spine before gradually adding crushing weight to a door placed on top of her. Her feast day is March 26.

Recusant

Instrumentation: Voice, guitar, mandolin, percussion
Length: 1’

Go Forth, a dismissal song for Catholic Confirmation Mass for Youth. Composed by Anthony Moran. Sung by Richard Schletty.

Go forth. 
Take the Word and share it with the world.
Share the Spirit, His goodness and His love.

[refrain]
Reach out to everyone,
to everyone who needs His love,
the love of God that heals the nations
and brings peace to everyone.

Original composition by Erwin Cabucos. Instrumentals by Geoff Madden. For the pilgrims of hope. Music sheet is attached.

Our lives flow on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation,           
We hear the sweet, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation

Millions of Filipino Catholics were elated when Pope Benedict XVI canonized a teenager from the Philippines Pedro Calungsod in 2012.

Today, a new song about him is released and the composer Erwin Cabucos hopes that it will bring added spirit into the reverence and legacy of the country's second beloved saint.

1) O God, You are three persons in love
Divine love one in Trinity  
All goodness   truth and beauty,
Are Reflections of  your divine  glory

O Author of eternal praise,
who give to all who live by faith
the Spirit of your sev’nfold grace,
Who leads us to seek his glorious face

REFRAIN
Hear my voice be quiet and still
Trust deeply in me and you will

Carey Landry's Hail Mary Gentle woman is good but I found its tempo difficult to play on guitar or organ. Even to sing, I can never get it right. Plus it is quite long.

I just want to sing the Hail Mary short and sweet.

So, here's the new one - just composed today. Hope you like it. The chords are posted below the video. Enjoy and please subscribe and share.
