Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
Catholic church music programs in the United States have strayed far from the ideal that is outlined for the Entrance Song in the rubrics of the Sacramentary (Roman Missal).
Paragraph 26 of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal reads: "The entrance song is sung alternately either by the choir and the congregation or by the cantor and the congregation; or it is sung entirely by the congregation or by the choir alone.
The antiphon and psalm of the Graduale Romanum or The Simple Gradual may be used..."
While most parishes opt for a standard hymn at the entrance, the rubrical preference for a psalm with antiphon may still be accommodated today.
There are many published responsorial psalm settings and it should be easy to find a version that matches the entrance psalm specified for each Sunday.
Here is today's specific entrance psalm, and some information about it:
Psalm 88
Perhaps the saddest of all religious songs, Psalm 88 presents a view of death and Sheol that is desolate and foreboding.
The fear of death is vividly portrayed by the psalmist, but yet there is hope.
Brief prayers punctuate the relentless horrors of an afterlife cut off from God and from others.
Only the Lord can save one from the "Midnight Darkness."
Cling to him in the blackness and he will raise you to life and light.
