I am completely redoing all my contributions to Chabanel Psalms (YEAR A). My Year A contributions are being named in honor of the English Martyrs.
Many of these have a special and amazing meaning, for example:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I love you, Lord, my strength."
In honor of Blessed John Beche (†1539), an Abbot who was hung, drawn, and quartered.

In honor of Blessed Thomas Johnson (†1537), a Carthusian monk who was starved to death.
God the LORD has spoken and summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting. "Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, for your holocausts are before me always."
"If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for mine are the world and its fullness. Do I eat the flesh of strong bulls, or is the blood of goats my drink?"
"Offer to God praise as your sacrifice and fulfill your vows to the Most High; then call upon me in time of distress; I will rescue you, and you shall glorify me."
