Music for
Sixth Sunday of Easter

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This week we have a couple of songs you may not know: ‘Like a Child Rests’ https://youtu.be/OPfaxKZrhIU and ‘By Our Love’ https://youtu.be/yrvPSE0Ih3s. This second one is brand new and the video was posted by the publisher of Breaking Bread, our missal. You can find the words for these songs and all the others in this attachment.

The First Reading this week is from the Acts of the Apostles and tells how the Holy Spirit came down on the Gentiles who were listening to Peter preach and the first song I’m going to share with you makes me think of them. ‘Living in the Overflow’ Charity Gayle and Joshua Sherman https://youtu.be/lmAfEI-Ibgc

The Second Reading and the Gospel both tell us to love one another and here are just a few of the many songs inspired by that:

‘Love One Another’ Tommy Walker Ministry

‘The Greatest Commands’ Champaign Church of Christ

‘Love One Another’ by John Bell and sung by The Cathedral Singers https://youtu.be/x5bwfnY6hQo

‘Love One Another’ by Gladys Knight

And as I’m sure you’re all well aware, today is Mother’s Day, and that guided the rest of choices.

‘This Amazing Love’ by Emily Laudeman

‘A Mother’s Prayer’ by Celine Dion. She revised the words of one of her most favorite songs to tailor it to Mother’s Day.

This next one is sung by a man with an amazing voice for its quality and its range. He is a countertenor, which means he can probably sing higher than I can! ‘Ave Maria’ (Caccini) sung by Maurizio Di Maio https://youtu.be/-gh6iygBUyE

And lastly, a song that was recorded last year for Mother’s Day, but is for you all:

‘The Blessing’ by a virtual choir organized by Compassion Church. https://youtu.be/ExY1DQKHswM

Wishing you all every blessing for this day and every one to come,

Janis Cantú
