Suffers and bears  all things and refines

Purifies us - heart, soul, and mind

Domingo 7 Ordinario C - Salmo 102 - El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso

 

Responsorial Psalm 1:1-4,6 for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

 

Happy the man who has placed his trust in the Lord.

 

Happy indeed is the man

who follows not the counsel of the wicked;

nor lingers in the way of sinners

nor sits in the company of scorners,

but whose delight is the law of the Lord

and who ponders His law day and night.

 

Heal the Night

Is there no one to heal the night,
dark night of the soul,
to bring to me a deepening insight,
to bring me up from despair and sorrow,
to bathe my mind in light?

Psalm 102 was likely written during the Jewish captivity in Babylon, around 550 BCE. The psalm expresses the feelings of many Hebrews during this time. It prophesies the glorious coming of the lord at the end of time when all the nations and peoples of the earth will be gathered together before the Lord.

 
REFRAIN
O Holy Spirit  we follow you
You are ineffable love and truth
You give us hope a guiding star
Of our true country from afar

You have heard the words of my mouth.

In the presence of the angels I will bless You.

I will adore before Your holy temple.

 

Before the angels I will bless You, O Lord.

HYMN OF THE MONTH – January: O Cor Amoris

Singing Latin hymns in the Ordinary Form of the Mass was a cherished tradition at St. Mary’s in Akron, Ohio for more than 30 years. This was our way to help preserve the devotional hymns that once were so popular. Beginning in the late 1970s and the years that followed, St. Mary’s continued to preserve these beautiful hymns and incorporate them into New Liturgy.  Please take a few moments to read about one Latin hymn in particular that was a favorite among the choir members and parishioners.

Please visit my website Mother of Mercy Catholic Hymns and click on HYMN OF THE MONTH.

Isaiah lived about seven hundred years before Christ. He gave the breathtaking prophecy that God would create a new heaven and earth and gave some details of what that would be like. There was nothing like this in the ancient world, no speculation or ideas. St. John the Apostle/prophet tells us in the book of Revelation (eight hundred years after Isaiah) that he actually SAU the new heavens and earth and gave some details of what he saw.
