August 18, 2013: 20th Sun., Ordinary Time
Jer 38:4-6, 8-10 Princes: “Put Jeremiah to death; he wants our people's ruin." Prophet thrown into cistern.
Ps 40:2, 3, 4, 18 Lord, come to my aid!
Heb 12:1-4 Run race, ridding self of burdens/sin, keeping eyes on Jesus, who endured cross, took seat at God's throne, endured sinners' opposition.
Music connection
Psalm 40: Lord, come to my aid (stream or download robo-sung lyrics)
I used a proposed revision of the New American Bible psalms, from a green paperback, that didn't get approved but IMHO was a great translation. The robo-audio is from the above Noteworthy-manuscripted leadsheet via score flattening (to eliminate repeat marks), exporting to nwctxt, converting via Niversoft or NWC2MusicXML, opening in Melody Assistant, choosing a voice in Virtual Singer, exporting as MP3, uploading to Google Sites, and linking. Too bad Lucy and I didn't record it; we do it right vs. how I lazily manuscripted, and human voice is hard to beat. It was first sung at the 8-20-1995 Mass in the Don Bosco Tech chapel before an Archdiocesan Catholic Center picnic, as the psalm, with Sr. Chris Machado as cantor.]
Apparel
Finally, the orange T-shirt is for the fire (gospel).
Roamin' Catholic report
When I don't play or sing at my home parish, I try to "roam" elsewhere. Music included:

Roamin' Catholic report
When I don't play or sing at my home parish, I try to "roam" elsewhere. Music included:
- All the ends of the earth/ Dufford; note the bass guitar
- The cry of the poor/ Foley, but please don't sing it as a song in place of the day's responsorial psalm
- Go make a difference/ Angrisano and Tomaszek
