Liturgical Hints & Ideas

The Beatitudes in Luke differ from those found in Matthew. Musical settings of the Beatitudes would, of course, be particularly appropriate today. Psalm 1 (today's Responsorial Psalm) echoes that "Blessed …" theme — expand on this (or possibly Psalm 12) to use as the Entrance Chant or Communion Chant today.
