Drawn by the Father
written by Douglas Sousa, STL

Believing in Jesus is a gift from the Father. As he puts it, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him…” Those who accepted Jesus’ teaching and followed him did so because they had been given faith directly from God.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, I hope you all have been enjoying having the choir sing for Mass. They will be singing again this Sunday and I believe that you will know all the songs that we’re singing. The lyrics can be found in this attachment. This week’s readings tell us of manna from heaven that saved the Israelites in the desert and in the Gospel. Jesus says that he is the Bread of Life. So that is the main theme this week in the music selections below.
These next two songs are general worship and faith songs. We’ll have more songs about the Bread of Life and the Bread from Heaven next week.
Enjoy the music and stay safe and healthy. God bless you and yours, Janis Cantú |

A Longing for Fulfillment
written by Br. Silas Henderson

It does not take much to do good, to relieve suffering, or to show love. God wants to do great things in our families, parishes, and communities. He wants to feed the hungry, He wants to console the suffering and He wants to change hardened hearts. But He needs us to help Him.

Okay, so your email editor managed to confuse everyone in the parish by sending out the Crush 2021 reservation email a week early. Tomorrow is the day that you can begin purchasing your tickets at this link. We’ll see you there. I’ll be the red-faced attendee.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week the choir and I have a new song for communion called ‘Take and Eat.’ Here’s a link so you can hear it: https://youtu.be/H6EJJRaK69U. The words to this and all the other songs for mass can be found in this attachment. This week’s first reading tells of the prophet Elisha who fed a hundred people with 20 barley loaves. The psalm tells us that “The hand of the Lord feeds us; He answers all our needs.” and the Gospel is the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes with five loaves and two fish. So the theme of the week seems to be “God will provide.”
I hope you enjoy all my music selections this week. May God bless you all with good health and provide for all your needs. Janis Cantú |

Music For
The 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Fellow Parishioners, This week we only have familiar songs at Mass, including the psalm!! The words can be found in this attachment. This week three of the four readings talk of shepherds, ending with Jesus saying that the people were like sheep without a shepherd. So, I found some songs with the shepherd theme that I didn’t share on Good Shepherd Sunday. For those of you who enjoy classical music, I have:
The rest are more modern:
Well, those should keep you busy for a while! Enjoy the music and have a week filled with blessings! Janis Cantú |
