This Friday we have our patronal feast, that is, the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Then the weekend Masses for the Tenth Sunday of the Year (or "Ordinary Time", or "Boring Time", according to someone Father Bucci once mentioned in a homily, or simply called "Sunday X" - the Roman numeral for "10", not like in "Gen X").
Much (not all) of the music for Friday will be repeated on Sunday. The readings today, especially the first reading and the Gospel, both talk about driving out sin. The Psalm for Sunday is Psalm 130 with the response "With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption." This day can easily be linked to the Sacred Heart solemnity with that simple prayer, "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us." This also fulfills what Father Bucci would have done, and that's using the Sunday after the Solemnity as an "extended Solemnity" (readings and prayers differ, music remains mostly the same).
With that, I present to you...
