Responsorial Psalm: If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, music by Owen Alstott (music found in the missalette with the readings for October 6)

Offertory hymn: 393 Faith of our fathers
- Cute little side note: a parishioner at one of my former parishes once asked me, "Hey Brian, what's up with all the Protestant music?  Faith of Our FathersThere's a Wideness in God's Mercy?"  The parishioner's jaw dropped to the ground when I told her that although the two texts are popular amongst the Protestant congregations, the texts of those two hymns were written by Fr. Frederick W. Faber, a Catholic priest.
