“... (Mass of Glory and Praise) is a refreshing, ‘upbeat’ new Mass setting …” “… a strong contemporary style that appreciates the beauty and grace of both music and song within the liturgy.”

Angela Bendotti, Pastoral Liturgy, November 2005
"Psalms for All Time, particularly the responses, can be sung after only one or perhaps two rehearsals. The melodies are rich, contemporary, simple and beautiful - always appropriate in style to the text."

Angela Gorman, Pastoral Liturgy, November 2010
"(Mass of Glory and Praise) has a ‘rock’ feel featuring an interplay of vocal and instrumental parts." "The music has energy, driven by the use of syncopation and instrumental interplay."

Cathy Murrowood, Rite Notes, December 2010
"I think Power of the Spirit is superb entrance, recessional, Easter, Pentecost song that will be around long after the Plenary. Since “Shout to the Lord” is not One License, this might be the replacement we need."

"The beautiful arrangement (of the "Power of the Spirit" CD recording) is extraordinary, but I suspect this is actually a P&W classic. You could go somewhat ballistic on the crescendo into the refrain I suspect."

"We will be singing the whole of Paul Mason’s setting of Ps115 on Holy Thursday night. It is from his “Psalms for All Time.” The octave leap in the verse should wake us all up."

"(Power of the Spirit) is a great song from Paul Mason. Whatever you think of the chances the upcoming Plenary in 2020 of actually changing ... the Catholic Church, one good thing has already come of it."

"Of the six recommended mass settings from the Australian Bishops (Mass of Glory and Praise) stands out as being suitable for regular parishes with ordinary musicians and also being interesting."

Geoffrey Madden, SixMaddens Blog, February 2011
"Mass Shalom is one of the three singable masses of the six suggested by the Australian Bishops and if we do that then we will be singing all of them – Glory and Praise, Mass of St Francis and Shalom."

Geoffrey Madden, SixMaddens Blog, August 2016
"... The slides are professionally produced, easily accessed and clear, thus guiding and encouraging the community to, firstly, learn the melody, and then be able to confidently join in singing with the community."

P Clare Koch rsj, St Joseph's Neutral Bay, October 2021
" ... The Projection slides are a great asset and resource for our weekly celebration of the Eucharist, enhancing our experience and the prayer of the community, and I recommend them highly."

Pilgrims of Hope

Introduction

24 Hours For The Lord

YOU ARE MY HOPE
(Psalm 71:5)

In this Jubilee Year of 2025, Lent 2025 will be a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God’s mercy as “Pilgrims of Hope.”

During this Jubilee year there will be pilgrimages and other opportunities to express our pilgrim hope. The Jubilee Hymn “Pilgrims of Hope” (Track 12) and the Wollongong Diocesan Hymn “Hope in the Holy One” (Track 15) help build our joyful unity as we journey through the year.

Parish and school communities are invited to celebrate a 24 hour period of Eucharistic adoration designated 24 Hours For The Lord (24HFTL). The Adoration should include an overnight vigil and conclude with Benediction.

The Liturgy Outlines and Resources prepared here are based on the 24 Hours for the Lord liturgies and resources prepared by the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong in 2016 for Pope Francis’ Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. For further reference, please download this year’s 24 Hours for the Lord Handbook from the Vatican.

Suggested Liturgy Outlines and Resources

Communal liturgical celebrations afford us wonderful opportunities to focus on our relationships with God and with each other. The following celebration outlines and the accompanying 24 Hours For The Lord MP3 playlist recorded by the Diocese of Wollongong are intended to provide a ready means of including songs and responsorial psalms in these celebrations. In an extended period of adoration and overnight vigil it helps to have recorded music that can be played at appropriate times, breaking the periods of silence. At other times it may be helpful to have singers and musicians play and sing the suggested hymns and psalms.

The Liturgical Song Suggestions for 24 Hours for the Lord offer a wide range of possible resources for different psalm settings and hymns for musicians. The recordings in the MP3 playlist are of the Liturgical Song compositions by Paul Mason and specific compositions for this year's Jubilee by Timothy Hart (Hope in the Holy One) and the Vatican (Pilgrims of Hope).
