Et <BR/>gratia tua illis succurrente, mereantur evadere <BR/>judicium ultionis. Et lucis aeterna beatitudine <BR/>perfrui. <BR/><BR/>(And the one I quoted previously was the Introit).<BR/><BR/>It is a wonderful source of prayers for the dead. (And the plainchant is just ravishing!)<BR/><BR/>Perhaps readers of this blog could explore it to find other prayers to offer for the repose of your late father's soul: I certainly will.Ben Trovatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299230935468606845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-74396664552970518192009-02-05T04:37:00.000+00:002009-02-05T04:37:00.000+00:00Thank you, Father, for sharing the film with those...Thank you, Father, for sharing the film with those of us far away who were not able to get to a Candlemass celebration.

I can see how the forward position of the table altar is awkward. It seems to waste the space behind it. And the point is well made that this altar is, frankly, too low down for the congregation as a whole to see the sacred action.<BR/><BR/>What strange ideas people had in the 1970s. Did they not think about weddings and funerals before they sited the table altar so far forward ? And the damage they have done in this church (as in so many others) !<BR/><BR/>I hope Fr. Ray will soon be able to improve things.PeterHWrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734936083886678494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-50926689868296673302009-02-04T12:52:00.000+00:002009-02-04T12:52:00.000+00:00I confess I was in the choir, we were worried abou...I confess I was in the choir, we were worried about that piece, it didn't sound so bad after all, it must be the acoustics.Physiocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682019625346594568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-91019266902217564442009-02-04T11:37:00.000+00:002009-02-04T11:37:00.000+00:00Well done, Father!

Very symbolic of the season - with a few pinpricks of light bringing the promise of Spring, and a metaphor for the TLM's current position. It was mediaeval in its simplicity. Also it was in tune throughout, so I don't know why you criticise your singing. With all the noise and fury in the blogosphere at the moment, it is good to remember what Catholicism is really all about.
