    Hi

    I'm looking for a good English, plainchant style Gospel Acclamation or Tract for Monday, March 16th for a penance service at my parish (not a Mass). What is the Proper Acclamation for March 16th? I'm open to a tract, but not one that is 4 or 5 verses long.

    I've thought about using one of the Tracts or Antiphons from BFW for Lent III, but it's not quite right . . . any suggestions are appreciated.

    thanks
    Dave

    Tract for that day is Ps 122, 1-3 - as it is for all days of the 3rd week of Lent.

    Three verses long, almost the four verses you'd like to avoid.

    In Brazil, the Lectionary provides the Gospel Acclamation for that day with Ps 129, 5.7 as verse. I don't know if it's the same for you.

    I think you might use one of Fr. Columba Kelly's Lenten Gospel Acclamations:

    with the two verses of Psalm 129.
