Dear Fellow Parishioners, Here we are in the first week of Lent! It sure came quick. All the music for Mass should be very familiar. You can find the words to all the songs in this attachment. The first reading this week is about Noah which inspired my first selection. ‘Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord’ by the Statler Brothers https://youtu.be/mWPuS8En9WU The Gospel this week has to be the shortest one of the year. It dealt with Jesus’ 40 days in the desert being tempted by the devil in just two sentences! This first song seems to me to be inspired by that reading, lacking all details of the temptation but is a haunting interpretation of it. ‘Desert Voice’ by Eric Becker https://youtu.be/phiVW2ycgWU The next two songs are based on the longer version in Matthew, Chapter 4. ‘Forty Days in the Desert’ by the Lonesome River Band is for the bluegrass lovers among you. https://youtu.be/WPwpAYLedzA ‘Temptations of Christ’ by Acappella Company https://youtu.be/2DxMPUDrkGI The last two songs are about the redeeming power of the love of God. ‘Power of Your Love’ by Hillsong https://youtu.be/Ga6Qtxzd6vk ‘The Love of God’ by the NCrew (Lehman) https://youtu.be/NUy3yaSd9b0 I hope you enjoy them all and that they help get you started on your Lenten journey. May God keep you safe, happy and healthy. Janis Cantú |
