"As a teacher of liturgical theology and as a permanent deacon I find Journeysongs, Second Edition, excellent. In an age when too easily battle lines are drawn over church music, there is found here a sensible balance that speaks to the different tastes found throughout the Church. Journeysongs, Second Edition, is like the scribe of the Gospel who brings out of his treasure new things and old. It is a fine pastoral resource for widespread use in parishes. If a deacon had his own copy, he would immediately have at his disposal a form for Liturgy of the Hours (morning and evening prayer), the Lectionary for Sundays and major celebrations, and a feast of hymns for congregational as well as for one''s own personal use in prayer and meditation. I am happy to commend it."
-- Owen F. Cummings, Regents Professor of Theology, Mount Angel Seminary
"Journeysongs, Second Edition, arrived just a few days ago. . . . I was impressed with the variety of music found in its pages. Quite a number of pieces should be familiar to people in the assembly. I was happy to see the works of several fine composers . . . . It is obvious your music advisory committee worked carefully to include a singable selection of music to help people to pray."
-- Brother Howard Hughes, SM
"I am so very impressed and pleased to see the many wonderful new texts that OCP has incorporated into Journeysongs, Second Edition. There are solid, theologically significant, poetically evocative texts for virtually every liturgical season and rite. While many are accompanied by fine new tunes; many use tunes out of the common repertoire to facilitate wide use of prayerful texts that might otherwise be passed by. I recommend Journeysongs, Second Edition, to everyone serious about ''singing the liturgy'' and not only singing ''at'' the liturgy. OCP has made a giant contribution to the English-speaking Church."
-- Father Gerald T. Chinchar, SM, Campus Minister for Catechetical programs, University of Dayton
"I would like to commend you on a hymnal that is flexible in its approach to how parish communities worship and responsive to the diverse cultural needs of worship yet retains a connection to the musical heritage of the Church."
-- Most Rev. Donald W. Trautman, Bishop of Erie, PA
