MUSIC MINISTRY Kyle Davies, Director of Music Ministry and Liturgy 4128357720 kdavies@stvals.org Psalm Reflection My God, my God, O why have you abandoned me? Psalm 22: 89, 1718, 1920, 2324 Christ s selfemptying becomes his exaltation. A cry of abandonment by God becomes unrestrained praise of God. Truly, deathtoself undertaken out of love for God and others transforms who and how we are. These verses from Psalm 22 then become a word to the weary spoken by tongues that have been well trained in the words and examples of Jesus. May your singing of these verses from Psalm 22 give all who hear you the courage they need to enter Holy Week, aware of both the suffering and the exaltation to which it will lead. Psalm Reflection taken from Cry Out with Joy, published by GIA Publications, The St. Valentine s music ministry will be offering a Tenebrae service at 8:00pm on March 25 in the church sanctuary. This service Will feature the Rejoice Ringers and the Voices of the Spirit Choir. Join your voice with ours on Easter The Voices of the Spirit choir welcomes those who would like to sing with us at the 10:30am Easter morning mass on April 1st. This is the perfect opportunity for those who love singing Easter music!. Contact Kyle Davies if you are interested in this ministry. 4128357720 5

The crowds waved palm and olive branches as Jesus rode into the city on a colt. They welcomed him as royalty, so moved were their hearts in faith and trust of God. Yet, while Christ s procession into the city is a moment of joy, the joy is fleeting as the coming days lead to the passion and death of Jesus. The central mysteries of our faith that we celebrate this week highlight for us the lengths to which God will go out of love for us. It is appropriate to ask ourselves, then, what lengths will we go to for God. As we journey On Mission for The Church Alive! it is not just our parishes that we should hope to be transformed. We should also hope that our hearts and transformed in love and service of God and others. How are we called to ambassadors of Christ, coming in his name to share the life and light of God with everyone we meet? As we await the On Mission announcements one month from now may we prepare our hearts to share the love of God in all we say and do. Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.
