Hugh Gibson Prelude – Entrance – For You Are My God Ps - 27 Offertory – Only This I Want Communion – Bread of Life (Lent verses) Recessional – Lead Me Lord Postlude – BLESSING FOR LENT Merciful God, you called us forth from the dust of the earth; you claimed us for Christ in the waters of baptism. Look upon us as we enter these Forty Days bearing the mark of ashes, and bless our journey through the desert of Lent to the font of re-birth. May our fasting be hunger for justice; our alms, a making of peace; our prayer, the chant of humble and grateful hearts. All that we do and pray is in the name of Jesus. For in his cross you proclaim your love for ever and ever.

Going through some difficult periods I discovered the healing power of listening to 432Hz music, so why not tune and sing to this more harmonic healing frequency. A parishioner came up to me after mass, amazed how well the music system sounded in the church. Tuning to 432Hz the acoustic harmonics in this frequency helps improve the live sound. St. Alfred Musician Using the Philharmonie Mercatorhalle Duisburg organ sample set with live control over a 24-channel 256 note polyphony orchestral arranger keyboard and one octave MIDI pedal-board. God created us with the ability to sing and make music. Music is an important part of worship and praise to God, so it only seems fitting that bible verses about music can be found throughout scripture. Rejoice in the sound through my rotating collection of bible verses about music listing here! Psalm 150:1-5 1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
