You know, just in case you want to sing for your supper.
Anyways, for actual real chants for Mass, check this out. We’ll sing some tonight (Parish Anniversary AND Thanksgiving!)
Thank the Lord for the abundant blessings He bestows on us!!

“Tradition and the future”
I saw this excellent video posted over at the Chant Café. In it, Fr. Joseph Kramer, FSSP. provides great insight about young people and the liturgical tradition of the Church.
More and more often in my own experience, I see and hear of young people excited about the liturgical tradition of the Church, especially the tradition of Sacred Music. Young couples want to hear chant and organ at their weddings, and kids think that music that has survived many centuries is “cool.” Strong Catholic identity, especially in liturgical expression, is attractive.
Called to be Saints
(An excellent post by Richard Clark over at Corpus Christi Watershed)
WE ARE ALL CALLED TO SAINTHOOD. This may sound crazy, but I am more and more convinced it is true. We could be saints. Do be afraid of it! While it is possible that our fear may hinder us more than our weakness, but both will do nicely! Yet, God’s infinite mercy desires sainthood for us. God prods us gently and not so gently in that direction.

Flannery O’Connor succinctly stated, “They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross.” Have faith our cross guides us toward sharing eternal life with God.
Read the rest over there, along with a recording of Palestrina’s Sicut Cervus, a personal favorite!
Oh, for the love of chant!
