March 21, 2021: Fifth Sunday of Lent (Year B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The antiphon comes directly from Jesus\u2019s words in this Sunday\u2019s Gospel:<\/p>\n

…unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
\nit remains just a grain of wheat… (John 12:24)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Collegeville Composers, following a suggestion in the 1998 Antiphonal<\/em>, provided verses from Psalm 126, with its references to seed for the sowing, etc.<\/p>\n

Listen to a sample recording of this setting below:<\/p>\n

\n

Those celebrating the Scrutinies will use the Year A antiphon<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The antiphon is taken directly from Jesus\u2019s words in the Year A Gospel:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
\nand everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.\u201d\u00a0 (John 11:25-26)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Word-painting to depict eternal life will be found in the repetition of the words \u201cnever die\u201d.<\/p>\n

Two options for verses are provided, with extracts from John 12 or Psalm 34.<\/p>\n
