Christmas Day Latin Mass

A very Merry Christmas to all!


I snagged a couple of recordings on my phone from our Solemn High Mass downtown.  Quality is terrible & nearly everyone present was sick a dog, but it's something.


First is the Communion verse "Viderunt omnes" & second is the Latin version of Lo, How A Rose, which we affectionately call, Lo, How A Radish Blooming.


See you on Saturday!  God willing, we'll all be better by then.  Safe travels!

P.S.: I added to the sidebar links an address given by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger on Sacred Music & liturgy.  It's importance is that it looks past ephemeral arguments about music taste & delves deeply into the theology of music in the liturgy, where we arrive at the "why" & "for whom" of the "what" we are doing.  It also calls out many of the modern errors we experience.  I used an excerpt as a quote on the back of the concert program.

"Become a saint!"
