A number of years ago, when we were in Year C, it was noted that series of Sundays about sin, forgiveness and God's mercy can if reflected to strongly in the music choices create a dour impression to the newcomer. A example would be last week's Opening Hymn Our Father, we have wandered which speaks of the 'evil that we do'. (As a footnote it was, I think, one the hymns commissioned by ICEL at the time of the translation of the Rite of Penance to provide a hymnody which better reflected the theology of the rite.)
This week beginning and end were hopefully in the well-known category so newcomers could recognise the familiar. I was a meeting in the week where Christ be our light was new to a school teacher.
