My sisters and brothers, today our podcast is somewhat different, and is part of our collection of the Catholic Mass Liturgical songs. Our podcast music album is, ‘Mass of Holy Inspiration’. These 15 Liturgical songs are taken from both, our Come Receive Me Mass music from the eighties, and our revised Mass of Holy Inspiration from 2011. Together they include: Penitential Rite, Kyria, Gloria, (2) Gospel Acclamations w/verse, John 10:27 , and the second one with, John 15:12-13, Holy Holy Holy, Memorial Acclamation w/Amen A, B & C, (2) The Our Father Prayer, and [ Peace ] The Lamb of God.
Attentiveness to the nudges of and listening to the Holy Spirit from deep within my being is how this collection of these Liturgical songs were created. Starting with The Lord’s Prayer in 1979, this was first sung at a Holy Spirit Breakfast lead by Father Bill McCarthy and Sister Bernadette Sheldon at Saint Anthony Church Hall in Bristol, CT. The completed selection was first used in Pittsfield NH in 1985-1988 where I was blessed to be part of Our Lady of Lourdes Church while Father Richard M. Giroux was Pastor, and to also be part of a wonderful and talented folk group. This collection before it was revised for the new Mass in 2011 was titled; ‘Come Receive Me’. ‘All’ and or ‘parts’ of this Mass music was used by choirs and folk groups at a few churches, including these parishes: Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Pittsfield, NH; Saint Joseph Church of Beatrice, NE; Saint Philip the Apostle Church of Lake City, SC; Saint John the Evangelist Church of Enterprise, AL. Also at Saint Francis of Assisi Church of New Britain, CT after it was revised in 2011 into the ‘Mass Of Holy Inspiration’. 
What a special blessing to be able to have been with so many of God’s beautiful people and what talent they are blessed with. Having one purpose in heart and mind, all for the Glory of God!
Thank you to the Precious Holy Spirit who is the very reason this Mass music was created, for the Holy Spirit is the true creator of this work, I am an instrument of the Lord. To my mom and my dad whose love continues to reach to the center of my heart with inspirations. To Father Bill McCarthy and Sister Bernadette Sheldon, for being my Spiritual Father, Mother and Directors, their powerful words and teachings continues to inspire me to be all I can be, and all for the Glory of God! To the many talented musicians I have been blessed in knowing, working with and being part of their groups and choirs, I am so happy and proud to have known you and I will always love you with the love of our Lord! To my parents, my husband, and my families of every direction of my life, which is my children, grandchildren, brother, cousins, brothers and sisters in the Lord, families and friends, those with me and those who have gone before me; it has been your love which has kept my heart full of joy. To the very gifted artist, Janice Ward, my cousin. I expressed to her how I wanted the cover for the Mass music to be, and she created for me much more. What talent she has. Her work is a true gift from God. This album, other albums, songs, concerts, and podcasts, can be found on my YouTube channel, sheila s ward.
