Responsorial Psalm

A Responsorial Psalm is a reflective song or poem from the Bible, sung or recited during liturgical services, especially in the Catholic Mass. It typically consists of a refrain (response) that the congregation repeats after a spoken or sung verse, allowing the community to participate actively. The psalm highlights themes like gratitude, trust, or praise, helping worshipers contemplate God's word and connect emotionally with the message. It serves as a bridge between Scripture readings and the prayerful conversation with God, fostering communal worship through both reflection and participation.
