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
   

 

Responsorial Psalm 137(138):1-5,7-8 for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

 

Before the angels I will bless You, O Lord.

 

I thank You, Lord, with all my heart:

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.

it gives wisdom to the simple.

 

Your words are spirit, Lord, and they are life.

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.

I Need Thee, Precious Jesus
In This Sacrament Sweet Jesus
O Sacred Heart, O Love Divine
Hide Thou Me

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.
