I Loved Wisdom More Than Health or Beauty

The Collegeville Composers Group created this song for the Twenty-eighth Sunday of Ordinary TIme B as a Song for the Table. It also served as a Song for the Week in Year A for the Seventeenth Sunday and again for the Thirty-second Sunday. In Year C it is a good song for the Twenty-third Sunday.

    This is a beautiful piece and I have programmed it and prayed it with my ensemble on all occasions cited above (except yesterday when it was not I who chose the music! – but we did do Psallite’s setting of psalm 90)

    We did it at the abbey yesterday during Communion. The singers commented that it’s a beautiful piece. Thank you!
