Rock Mass First Sunday of the Month
Rock Mass September 2024 - Hear Me Lord!
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
(Psalm 139:7-12)
Peace, Love and Light!

The
inspiration for creating "Rock Mass" came from the Rock Mass at All
Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena California back in the early 1970’s.
On the first Friday night of each month All Saints held a Rock Mass
which was a mix of traditional Episcopalian Mass and rock concert. A
live band would play popular rock music which couldn’t necessarily be
called “Christian” but contained spiritual phrases and references to God
or Jesus. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s there was an explosion of
these songs coming out of the "secular" music industry way before there
was “Contemporary Christian Music”, in a way, it could be called "The
Gospel According To Billboard's Top 10".
