Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free), so 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 selection of hymns that are still copyright may also be included, if they are particularly relevant.
If All Saints Day (1 November) falls on a Sunday, then the 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time may be skipped and the calendar goes straight to the 32nd Sunday - eg in 2020.
Readings
First: Wisdom 11:22 - 12:2 - The world is a grain of dust to God - but yet God is merciful and loves everything that exist ... you spare all things because they are yours, O Lord, lover of life.Psalm 144: I will bless your name forever, O God my king / I will give you glory / The Lord is kind and full of compassion / All your creatures shall thank you / The Lord is faithful in all his words
Second: II Thessalonians 1:11 - 2:2: We pray that God will make you worthy ... Christ will be glorified in you. Turn to the coming of Jesus - but do not be alarmed by predictions that the day has come.
Gospel: Luke 19: 1-10 - Zacchaeus the tax-collector climbed a tree so Jesus would see him - Jesus dined with him, Zacchaeus has a change of heart and is saved. Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
