A tender meditation hymn based on Luke 10:25–37, "Go and Do Likewise" reflects on the Parable of the Good Samaritan and the call to serve Christ by serving one another. With a reverent tone and poetic lyrics, this piece invites the faithful to recognize Christ in every person — and to respond with mercy, compassion, and love. Suitable for any time of year, especially during Ordinary Time, Lent, or services focused on discipleship and mission.

Peace Be Unto You

A meditative and emotionally powerful hymn inspired by the moment Jesus appears to His disciples after the Resurrection. Based on John 20:19–23, this setting captures the fear, awe, and peace of that sacred encounter. The verses reflect the locked-door tension and trembling wonder, while the chorus becomes the voice of Christ Himself: “Peace be with you. Be still.” Perfect for Communion, Eastertide, and reflective moments of prayer.

All Soul's Day song: I Thank My God

MP3 Music Playlist: 
This song by the Australian Fr Frank Andersen, MSC, I reckon, makes a great recessional or sending forth hymn because it shows connection and care in the name of faith between two Christians.

I think it also makes a thoughtful prayerful anthem for All Soul's Day because it conveys a caring link between the speaker in the lyrics and another person in faith, who could mean someone alive or dead.

The lyrics are taken from the first part of Philemon, chapter 1, verses 3-11 to be exact, and the melody is rather joyful and sprightly.

I hope you like my cover.

Cantata of the Seven Sorrows of Mary

<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wAkgYCPG-uU?si=o01gGozgsJc19kaa" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

This deeply moving cantata traces the Blessed Virgin Mary’s seven sorrows as recorded in Scripture — from Simeon’s prophecy to the burial of Christ. Blending original compositions with two timeless public-domain texts (Coventry Carol and O Come and Mourn), the work unfolds as a continuous meditation on faith, suffering, and maternal love.

Maybe Today

and rose again to set us free,

With your word and body and blood
Everyday you transform us
By your Spirit's fire of love 

REFRAIN

A) O Jesus raise our souls to you;
that we fully share your life,

Mass in Honor of Our Lady of the Lake

Has anyone heard of Fr. William Jurgens? He composed a Mass in Honor of Our Lady of the Lake, Gregorian Institute of America. 1966/67. (lyrics and music by Fr. William Jurgens). He was a priest in the Cleveland Diocese and the Mass was composed for patroness of St. Mary Seminary in Cleveland. I'm currently in contact with diocesen archives to see if there anything about a Mass in Fr. Jurgen's file.

In the 1990 catalog of American Masses and Requiems, it's listed arranged for TTB & organ with optional congregational; 15 minutes long.
