Responsorial Psalm 39(40):2,4,7-10 for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

I waited, I waited for the Lord
and he stooped down to me;
he heard my cry.
He put a new song into my mouth,
praise of our God.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,
but an open ear.

Note from editor Richard Schletty: Tom Mohr has been in leadership roles almost continuously since 1980. Tom's "Rising Leader Series" includes reflections on faith and leadership, coupled with recordings of his own original songs of faith. Read Tom's bio here. Below is an excerpt from a letter Tom sent to me today.

Dear Richard,

As you know, I have been publishing throughout this year a weekly letter, sent to 50,000 churches throughout North America. Each letter has a letter, poem, and link to the song for that month. I have called this series The Rising Leader Series.

I am now turning in earnest to the work of promoting my music and seeking out performing opportunities – especially for my Rising Leader Series message.

Here are the links to 52 letters for the Rising Leader Series:

Q1: Who is God?
Week 1: Abba Father
Week 2: Creator God
Week 3: Connected in Space
Week 4: Connected in Time
Week 5: Pluralism ...
