Last month, at the Sint-Agneskerk in Amsterdam (EF) they didn't sing "Domine salvam fac", somewhat to my surprise.<br /><br />Another point - since we are told what is happening in Afghanistan is a war, shouldn't we insert 'hostes superare' into the prayer?John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-48927249944727320762012-02-07T15:53:45.909+00:002012-02-07T15:53:45.909+00:00I recall hearing an account of it on Irish radio a...I recall hearing an account of it on Irish radio at the time.

Why no longer? At Ste. Genevieve in Paris, after the EF Missa cantata each Sunday, they have the French equivalent.

Years ago the Queen visited San Diego with Prince Phillip, and my mother and I went as she was able to obtain tickets to the SD Pier when Britannia sailed into town. I had my camera out to take pictures and I was 100% focused on her as she came down the length of the pier for a good 100 yards or so, then into a boat launch. The queen passed within 20 feet of me and I had a clear view. When she got on the launch I turned to my mother and said 'I see Prince Philip on the launch too, but didn't notice him walk by.' And my mom said. 'Well, you must have been blind, he was only a few steps behind her.' And sure enough when I'd developed the pictures there she was ...not only with Philip behind her, but walking next to the governor of California, who may as well have been dressed in a gorilla suit for all I didn't notice him.<br /><br />Thanks for the link.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.com
