Hymns for the 23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A (6 September 2023) - Catholic lectionary

Hymn and song suggestions based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the twenty third Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A.

Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free) meaning the words can be copied and sung to at least one tune with no concerns about copyright or performance licensing - sometimes in a limited setting. Many of these hymns are old / traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.

A small number of hymns that may still be copyright are also included, if they are particularly appropirate.






Readings

First: Ezekiel 33: 7-9 - The prophet explains that God will hold him responsible for failing to pass on information from God.

Psalm 94 - O that today you would listen to his voice, harden not your heart / Come ring out our joy to the Lord / Come in and let us bow and bend low.

Second: Romans 13 8-10 - All the commandments are summed up in a single command:  You must love your neighbour as yourself ... love is the answer to every one of the commandments.

Gospel: Matthew 18: 15-20  - Jesus outlines a process for resolving conflicts in the community - approaching the offender first and then the elders. ... "Where two or three meet in my name, I am there."


Themes

Christ's on-going presence in the world.    Relationships.  Reconciliation.    Love.   Being faithful to God's word.
