With the theme of suffering for the sake of the Gospel this week, the songs “You redeemed us” (CCLI # 4957371) and “for the greater glory” (CCLI # 4956877) would work well as a preparation song. In the second reading today, St. Paul speaks the only thing that matters is being “a new creation.” The song “all things anew“(CCLI # 4956729) would work well as a closing song.
