Masses Resume Inside the Church this Weekend
|
|
This weekend, Saturday, October 31st, we will be back in the church for our Masses, including the daily Masses, due to the time change, dampness and cooler weather. This could change depending upon orders from the State of California or the diocese. Mass will be a full Mass with Communion before the concluding rites. Parishioners will enter and exit through the Saratoga side door and the Sunset Cliffs front door. There will be no congregational singing except for the Alleluia and Responsorial Psalm. The safety precautions prescribed by the state and diocese will remain in place. Wash your hands, wear your mask, and maintain a 6-foot distance with those outside your family, etc. Mass will continue to be livestreamed for those who are watching at home. Please consider joining the Hospitality Ministers, as we move inside for Masses. There is a lot of additional information about protocols for you in the document that is attached. It contains the safety guidelines. Please download it. |

Mass continues to be celebtated outside on the patio at 4:30 PM on Saturday and at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Sunday. Tomorrow morning’s Mass at 8:00 AM is streamed live.

Dear Fellow Parishioners, Most of this week’s music is very familiar, but the offertory song is less known so here is a link for it: ‘Where Love Is Found’ https://youtu.be/05Skn6Y6tc8 (This recording of the song is so pretty it’s worth a listen just for enjoyment.) The lyrics to this and all the other music can be found in this attachment. In this week’s Gospel, the Pharisees are trying to trip Jesus up again like they tried last week. This time they’re asking what is the greatest commandment and I’m sure you all know His response which is the theme for most of the songs I’m sharing this week. I found out it’s a very popular theme. ‘The Greatest Commandment’ by the Porter’s Gate https://youtu.be/pElUWTNsYXU ‘Love the Lord Your God’ https://youtu.be/NLIM2u1vm5g ‘The Greatest Commandment Love One Another’ https://youtu.be/QDRLrz_Hf_c I don’t know if you enjoy children’s choirs as much as I do, but the next one is very short, sung by children at the Cebu Gospel Church in the Philippines: ‘Greatest Commandment’ https://youtu.be/CkvgX6J-BEA If you like contemporary music, there’s ‘Love God, Love People’ by Danny Gokey https://youtu.be/t-29WLQ3trA And lastly, if you like bluegrass, check out this one: ‘You Don’t Love God If You Don’t Love Your Neighbor’ by Rhonda Vincent and her band https://youtu.be/b7IHLYYrgWk. It’s another toe-tapper. I hope you enjoy them all! Have a wonderful week and stay healthy and stay safe. Janis Cantú |

Dear Fellow Parishioners, I hope you all have had a great week and survived the heat. This week’s music for Mass is all well known and you can find the lyrics in this attachment. This week’s psalm is about giving praise and honor to God so my selections this week follow that theme. The first song was introduced to me by a friend of mine who asked me to sing it for her husband’s funeral. It’s about imagining what it will be like to be in heaven in God’s presence. It always brings tears to my eyes. There are two versions here; the first is by a children’s choir and if you click on “Show More” down below the video, you can see the lyrics. The second version is the original sung by the composer and his band. The next is ‘Build My Life’ by Pat Barrett https://youtu.be/QZW4_8_zCBE ‘Look at the World’ composed and directed by John Rutter And the last is very short and toe-tappingly upbeat: ‘Sing unto the Lord’ by Jeff Hamlin https://youtu.be/NZXxveIq3vw Have a praise-filled week! Stay safe and stay healthy. Janis Cantú |

Dear Fellow Parishioners: I hope you’re all having a wonderful week and enjoying our beautiful weather. This week’s music is mostly well-known, but we haven’t sung the opening hymn, ‘Sing to the Mountains’, in a while so here is a link to hear it: https://youtu.be/evJkH1GhPk8 The lyrics to this and all the other songs can be found in this attachment. This week’s psalm is Psalm 23, whose response is usually “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want” but this week the response is “I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.” Here is a more traditional version but sung by one of those amazing people that can sing all the parts without accompaniment! ‘The Lord’s My Shepherd; I Shall Not Want’ https://youtu.be/lTHr9UcvWko The Gospel this week is about a king who was giving a wedding banquet for his son. When the invited guests wouldn’t come, the king sent his servants out to invite anyone they could find. I found two songs about this parable. The first one is called ‘The Wedding Banquet’ by Rain for Roots. https://youtu.be/hv8ojKvo1pI If you click on where it says “show more” you’ll find the lyrics. The second is ‘I Cannot Come’ and there are two versions, one that just shows the lyrics https://youtu.be/tW_vdsU_Bb8 and the other has a very cleverly done Lego video https://youtu.be/eM2yO22rSE4. Take your pick: boring presentation or cute. Both are sung by the same group. The last piece I want to share with you is a wonderful rendition of today’s closing hymn, ‘How Can I Keep from Singing?’ by the NYC Virtual Choir and Orchestra. https://youtu.be/VLPP3XmYxXg I hope you find joy in them all. God bless and keep you safe. Janis Cantú |
