Matthew Monday: Responsorial Psalm for 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Two Sunday’s ago, November 10^th, the Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Matthew gave the responsorial psalm at Mass and he had me film it.  He does these and other parts of the Children’s Mass regularly, but I present this one because I just happen to capture it. 

Here is the psalm for that day, PS 17:1, 5-6, 8, 15

R. (15b)  Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.

Hear, O LORD, a just suit;
attend to my outcry;
hearken to my prayer from lips without deceit.

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
My steps have been steadfast in your paths,
my feet have not faltered.
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my word.

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Keep me as the apple of your eye,
hide me in the shadow of your wings.
But I in justice shall behold your face;
on waking I shall be content in your presence.

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.

He will always be the apple of my eye.

Matthew Monday: Choir During Christmas Season, 2018

As you know, Matthew has been in the choir for a year and a half now, and the music director loves him and relies on him almost every week.  I was able to record this little clip of Matthew leading the Responsorial Psalm the Sunday just before Christmas, the last Sunday of Advent.

Well, just like last year Matthew played the drum part for the Children’s Choir’s rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” on Christmas Eve.  He was very good.  I’ll share the video.

He’s getting to be very comfortable as a performer.  He’s such a ham.  Here’s a really nice picture of him in his choir robe. 

And the church was nicely decorated as usual.  Here are a couple of pictures.

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas.
