4th Sunday of Lent

31 March 2019

Entrance For God so loved the world (mtgf)
Penitential Rite Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd)
Psalm 33 Taste and see (Stephen Dean)
Gospel Acclamation Lenten (mtgf)
Preparation of Gifts Your love is finer (Marty Haugen)
Eucharistic Acclamations Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd)
Lamb of God Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd)
Communion Antiphon You must rejoice (mtgf)
Communion You are mine (David Haas)
Final Praise now our God with joy

The choice of psalm and responses on the Sundays of Lent always strike me as initially odd. Today you might think you would get in the light of the gospel one of the great penitential psalms. When the gospel of the prodigal son reappears later in the year it is paired with Psalm 50 (51). Taste and see? It suggests a more eucharistic understanding of the story which is also present in the first reading.
