Liturgical Hints & Ideas

This is "Good Shepherd Sunday." Look through your settings of Psalm 23 and Psalm 100 (vocal, choral and organ). Use several of these... and how long has it been since you've presented the standards: "He Shall Feed His Flock" (G.F. Handel) and "Sheep May Safely Graze" (J.S. Bach). This is also a World Day of Prayer for Vocations. For those responsible for diocesan ordination liturgies, we offer the following suggestions:

Book of Sung Gospels - 4th Edition (ed. Gary Penkala) — This makes a great gift for the deacons, too!
Complete Thy Work, O Lord (Calvert Shenk)
Festival Intrada (Gary Penkala)
Festive Processionals for Organ and Brass (Calvert Shenk)
Gospel Acclamation for Ordinary Time or Ordinations (Gary Penkala)
Psalm 19 (Gary Penkala) based on the chant Veni Creator Spiritus
Psalm 40 (Gary Penkala) based on the chant Asperges me
Serve God in Love from Seven Roman Basilica Processionals (Gary Penkala)
