Inspired by Pope John Paul's encyclical on the place of Sunday in Christian worship, Ricky Manalo has put together On This Day, a wonderful new collection of music for the Sundays and solemnities of Ordinary Time. Marked by beautiful, accessible melodies and profound texts, On This Day includes songs for the feasts of the Baptism of the Lord, the Body and Blood of the Lord, Trinity Sunday, the Transfiguration, the Assumption, All Saints Day, All Souls Day and Christ the King. One of many highlights of On This Day is Ricky Mananlo's setting of the Litany of Saints that honors and petitions St. Martin de Porres, St. Katherine Drexel and the other saints of the Americas — the first litany of the Americas.
