Hymns for the 23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C (4 September 2022) - Catholic lectionary

Hymns and songs suggestions based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time in Year C

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 such hymns are old/traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.

A small selection on hymns which are still copyright may also be included, if they are particularly appropriate.

Suggestions about other free-to-use hymns that could be included are welcome: leave a message in the Comments box near the bottom of the page.






Readings

First: Wisdom 9:13-18 - Who can know the intentions of God?  ... Who could have learned you intention, had you not granted Wisdom?

Psalm:  89 - O Lord you have been our refuge from one generation to the next / You turn men back into dust / You sweep men away like a dream / Make us know the shortness of our life / In the morning fill us with your love.

Second: Philemon 9:10, 12-17 - Paul sends Onesimus back to the community, not as a slave any more but as a dear brother in Christ.  He asks the community to welcome him.

Gospel:   Luke 14: 25-33 -  Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple ... none of you can be my disciple unless he gives up all his possessions.


Themes

Like Christ, we are called to give up everything to know and serve God.   Self-sacrifice, love, service, seeking wisdom.
