Feast of All Saint's

Today is the feast day of those who have fought the good fight, finished the race, & kept the faith.  Through God's help & their intercession, may we join them one day!

Jill asked me to put together this video for the CREED religious ed program.  If you don't know what CREED is, you should drop in some time for dinner & a lesson.  

The music is from John Rutter's Requiem, specifically the introit Requiem Aeternum, the Kyrie, & the communion Lux Aeternum.  Rutter is an example of the many modern composers writing beautiful sacred music.

Also, as All Soul's Day is tomorrow, do not forget then, & always, to pray for the souls of those who have died in Christ.  An excerpt from the Knox Latin Mass newsletter...

Many contemporary Catholics have never attemded a traditional (requiem) Mass for the Dead, which is among the most conspicuously “Catholic” of all Catholic liturgies, dealing directly as it does with judgement and death as the wages of sin. The Masses of All Souls Day are offered in propitiatory sacrifice for the souls of all the faithful departed who are in purgatory.

"Become a saint!"
