Psalm for Nov 9 Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
 

Responsorial Psalm for All Soul's Day 2025 The Lord is my light and my salvation 

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.

 

This new Marian hymn asks for comfort and healing from the Lord through the intercession of the Blessed Mother. It's great for any Marian feast, bringing into focus, Mary's role in our lives, especially on her role as an intercessor to Jesus and for our healing.

Responsorial Psalm for the 19th of October 2025, 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C

Offertory Hymn
 

I have always liked this song, but I did not realise that it was composed by a priest in India.

Rev Father Aniceto Nazareth from the archidioce of Mumbai composed this song as part of his repertoire in saying masses at his local diocese.

Fr Nazareth did  not have a formal training in music. His colleagues attested that his talents in composition emanated from his strong interest in music and the desire to use highly suitable and affective tunes at different parts of the Eucharist.

He died in 2021.

This is my rendition of Fr Nazareth's beautiful hymn.

 

Responsorial Psalms 97 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power

 

Jesus Living in Mary is a classic Marian hymn that is popularly used during prayers for the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Peace, Notre Dame, Immaculate Conception, Guadalupe and Medjugorhe.

I like the reverent yet lively tone of this hymn. Not too long, not too short. It is the right length to feel a little break when saying long prayers. 

The lyrics are simple and easily understood. This song can work as a children's hymn yet will make a great choice as a congregation hymn for Marian liturgies. Most of all, it is easy to play on guitar as the chord progression is predictable.

The chord sheet is attached here, using A on capo 3.

 

For the month of the Holy Rosary. See chord sheet attached.

This 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Psalms is taken from Psalm 94. Feel free to use this music from Catholic Church Hymns.  Simple and easy to sing. The chords are in the video itself. All the best. 

 

'Daily, daily sing to Mary, sing my soul her praises due' was first writen by the French monk St Bernard Cluny in the 12th century. It was later adopted into English and included in the Christian hymbook Paderborn Gesangbuch in 1765.

 

The recessional hymn is important because it reiterates the mission of Christ that we are all invited to participate. The popular phrase 'Let us go in peace to love and serve the Lord' is a reminder of the sending forth message Jesus had for his desciples during his Ascension into heaven. By enlivening this thought at the ending of the Mass through our song, we connect ourselves to the meaningful and purposeful acts of evangelizing. Like St Carlo Acutis, we are always called to spread the messages of faith, hope and love to our world today, be it physical or digital. Here is a new Catholic song for a good recessional moment.
