He is the author of a number of books including Getting to Know the Bible: A Catholic Guide to Studying Scripture (2003). Holy Mary, Now We Crown You is set to the 1735 tune: Steiner by Johann Ludwig Steiner (1688-1761). The following video features a new musical setting by the contemporary Philippine composer and organist, Alejandro D. Consolacion II. It uses stanzas 3,4, and 5; plus the refrain.
