2025 infographic based on Fr. Lawrence's 2017 column

Our God Is Here (Chris Muglia)
Spirit & Song #226; Never Too Young #29; Breaking Bread #301
Chris Muglia’s popular and uplifting song is in the spirit of the antiphon’s call for gathering the nations and the peoples in praise of God.
Interlectional Chants
Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit; the Kingdom of Heaven Is Theirs (Mary Kate Westrich)
Spirit & Psalm 2026: p. 78
Alleluia: Mass of Endless Mercy (Steve Angrisano)
Spirit & Psalm 2026: p. 80
The acclamation verse highlights a key passage from the Beatitudes.
Presentation and Preparation
Christ, Be Our Light (Bernadette Farrell)
Spirit & Song #207; Never Too Young #8; Breaking Bread #464
The importance of core repertoire cannot be understated. Contemporary songs are appealing but let us not forget the classic songs that are known and loved by the whole Church. “Christ, Be Our Light” sings of Beatitude values that are the heart of the teaching of today’s Scripture.
Sending Forth
Communion Chant Blessed Are You (Sarah Hart)
Sarah Hart’s setting of the Beatitudes is not yet in our missal resources, but you can access it on the link above. The song’s simple and catchy refrain allows assemblies to sing it immediately during the Communion procession.
Sending Forth
May Your Kingdom Come (Steve Angrisano, Sarah Hart, Curtis Stephan)
