I am not sure the popularity of Dear Lord and Father this Sunday was because it expressed well the themes of the Liturgy of the Word or because the lack of something better. I did wonder about a setting of the 'Jesus Prayer' - Jesus, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, which echoes the words of the tax collector, but nothing suitable came to mind. A touching place is a song about tax collectors and their kind. It is not an easy text to sing and always feels awkward but perhaps that is part of the point.
The Lamb of God changed form this week. From beginning as a responsorial setting it has become more like a litany.
