March 15th, 2020, 3rd Sunday in Lent

The Family Choir will be singing Sunday, March 15th.  We will meet at the usual time at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday morning to get organized for the practice and then begin rehearsal at 10:00 a.m.  Mass will begin at at 11:00 a.m.

The music selections for this Sunday are listed below.

CBW - Catholic Book of Worship III
GP - Glory and Praise III

Entrance:  GP 278 Somebody's Knockin' At Your Door
Kyrie:  GP  92 Kyrie, Eleison
Gloria:  No Gloria during Lent.

Psalm:  Psalm 95 - link1 (old version of psalm updated to current translation and using psalm tones) OR link2 (version written in 2017).  The choir will be able to choose the version they prefer.  If you'd like to hear what they sound like (as played by the music composition software) links to the midi files follow.  I recommend downloading the files and playing them on your device rather than opening them in the browser and using the application they suggest for playing them.  The easiest way to do this is (in Windows anyway) is to right mouse click the link and then select "Save Link As".  Here are the midi file links  - old version OR new version.  Both versions consist of the refrain played through once, followed by the psalm tones.

Response:  O that today you would listen to the voice of the Lord.  Do not harden your hearts!

Gospel Acclamation:  GP 96 Lenten Gospel Acclamation (verse will be spoken)

Lord, you are truly the Saviour of the world;
give me living water, that I may never be thirsty.
