God bless you!

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This week we are celebrating the Feast of All Saints and during our Mass this week we will be having the candle procession to remember the members of the congregation who passed away this past year. Here is a link to the music lyrics. There is only one song that you may not be familiar with, ‘Carry Me Home’ that I’ll be singing for Preparation of the Gifts in honor of all of our deceased loved ones. Here is a link to hear it:  https://youtu.be/5bwMWMTJ2Q4

This week’s Gospel is The Sermon on the Mount so I have two Beatitudes songs to share: ‘Beatitudes’ by Jami Smith https://youtu.be/sd9HQyLbXdo
and ‘The Sermon on the Mount’ by the Kingdom Heirs  https://youtu.be/xdDzzNQhYZo

The next song is for All Saints: ‘Your Heart’ by Chris Tomlin  https://youtu.be/oNlgG_-wjpM

The next two songs are more in keeping with All Souls Day, remembering those friends and family that we have lost:

‘The Gathering of Spirits’ by Carrie Newcomer  https://youtu.be/M1WrNisRhDU

and ‘Go in Peace’ by Sarah Hart. https://youtu.be/xod_35I91aY This song is in our missal, Breaking Bread #669.

The last share of the day should cheer you up, now that I’ve made you all sad. There are a hundred different interpretations of ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ on YouTube including ones by Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, Fats Domino and Elvis Presley, but this one from an Andre Rieu concert is absolutely joyful: https://youtu.be/5K1Th64YGCs

Stay safe, stay healthy and God bless.

Masses Resume Inside

Oct 28 2020

Announcements
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.

As many of you know, at about 9 minutes in we lost the feed from last week’s Mass. We apologize. Measures have been taken to fix the problem and we hope that you will pray that it is successful. 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.

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.
‘I Can Only Imagine’ (One Voice Children’s Choir) https://youtu.be/acwsBIl15zM
‘I Can Only Imagine’ (Mercy Me) https://youtu.be/ZVfFY3MMxEI

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
https://youtu.be/T4k8oVf9v78

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.
