Subiaco (Italy). San Biagio House of Prayer of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians of the Roman Province St. John Bosco (IRO), in collaboration with the Parish of St. Gabriele of the Sorrowful Mother in Rome, re-proposes “The voice of the Psalms”, a reflection on the responsorial psalm of every Sunday of Advent 2025. This proposal favors the deepening of the Word through the Psalms in the context of the liturgical season of Advent, which prepares us to live Christmas.
Fr. Paolo Verderame comments with a brief reflection on the psalm sung by Sister Vilma Colombo, FMA, Animator of the House of San Biagio, Fr. Marco Cantatore and Sister Monica Angulo, FMA. Tutto è accompagnato sulla base della cetra suonata da suor Monica Angulo, FMA e del flauto traverso suonato da Luca Malagesi.
Everything is accompanied on the basis of the zither played by Sister Monica Angulo, FMA and of the transverse flute played by Luca Malagesi.
The music is taken from the book: “Be the song of your praise”- Responsorial Psalms of the festive lectionary, by the Diocesan Institute of Music and Liturgy “Fr. Luigi Guglielmi”. The recording was made in the Sala Miriam Recording, Recording Room of the Parish. The editing is by Paoloesse.
The psalm for the liturgy of the first Sunday of Advent is Psalm 121. “It is a deep breath, almost a sigh of the soul: ‘To you, Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust,’” comments Don Paolo. It is the prayer of someone who, at the beginning of the journey, does not pretend to be strong, but stands before God with truth. Advent begins like this: not with strength, but with desire; not with perfection, but with trust.”
