SONGS SELECTIONS FOR Sunday, February 5 2023, FIFTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR A.

blog, Ordo Missae

THEME OF THE SUNDAY
The Christian Is Salt and Light. The theme of the Sunday is contained in the two parables of the gospel. The figure of light is given more importance than that of salt and, in fact, the first reading refers also to the theme of light. The second reading is related to this theme. Paul states that good works are the sign of the presence of the Spirit. They are the concrete proofs of the truth of the beliefs proclaimed by Christians.

FIRST READING
Your light shall break forth like the dawnA reading from the Book of Isaiah (58:7-10).

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Psalm 1 1 2: 4-5. 6-7. 8a and 9 (R.4a)  
R/. A light rises in the darkness for the upright.

A light rises in the darkness for the upright; he is generous, merciful and just.It goes well for the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. R/.

He will never be moved;forever shall the just be remembered. He has no fear of evil news;with a firm heart, he trusts in the Lord. R/.

With a steadfast heart he will not fear. Open-handed, he gives to the poor; his justice stands firm forever.His might shall be exalted in glory. R/.

SECOND READING
“I have told you of the mystery of Christ crucified.”A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians: (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).

What is Catholic Liturgy?

blog

The term “liturgy” refers to the official public worship of the Catholic Church. It includes the Mass, which is the central act of worship in the Catholic Church, as well as other sacraments and liturgical services. The liturgy is rooted in the biblical tradition and is intended to make present the saving mystery of Christ through the celebration of the sacraments, the proclamation of the word, and the singing of hymns and liturgical songs.

The liturgy is also divided into the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the Eucharist. In the liturgy of the word, the scriptures are proclaimed and a homily, or sermon, is given. In the liturgy of the Eucharist, bread and wine are consecrated by the priest to become the body and blood of Christ, and are then shared among the faithful.

The Catholic Church has two main liturgical rites: the Roman Rite, which is used in most of the world, and the Byzantine Rite, which is used primarily by Eastern Catholics. Within the Roman Rite, there are also a number of different liturgical calendars, including the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (also known as the Traditional Latin Mass) and the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite (also known as the Novus Ordo), which was introduced after the Second Vatican Council.

In summary, Catholic liturgy refers to the official public worship of the Catholic Church, which includes the Mass and other sacraments, which is intended to make present the saving mystery of Christ through the celebration of the sacraments, the proclamation of the word, and the singing of hymns and liturgical songs
