Canticle of Zechariah "Benedictus - Hymn of Praise" (a Morning Prayer)

Remembering my days of our morning prayers in capuchin noviate monestery.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ we welcome you into our hearts and praise and glorify you forever. We thank John the baptist your forerunner in preparing your coming to the world 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍 Lead us Lord , to live the rest of our life the best of our lives Amen😇😇😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👩‍👩‍👦👩‍👩‍👦👩‍👩‍👦🥰🥰

Thank you. I was just praying my Magnificat prayers and wondered if I could find an actual chant or tune to the Canticle of Zechariah. I bumped into others but they were not the "ACTUAL" prayer. When I heard yours I was so very happy! Thank you for playing and singing this for us. I will share this with my students both in CGS and Confirmation. May God bless you and keep you singing with lots of health and joy.

Thank you for everything, our Lord.

Some holy women in my church taught me this and we sing it every morning during Devine Office prayer. I never knew it could be so beautiful!

Thank you so much for putting this up. We do the Canticle of Zechariah every morning so it is nice to be able to listen to your beautiful musical rendition of it and sing along.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (December 9, Advent 2), we read this in unison instead of a Psalm.

Yes, such a peaceful and prayerful Benedictus really uplifts morning prayer. Bless you

Thanks a lot! Been using this Benedictus song in our annual national retreats. God be glorified.

Such a Peaceful way to start the day!

Just love it! moved whenever I listen to or sing it with others.

Weston Priory album "Wherever You Go" The song - "The Dove Song". Is it heresy !!! Will it send you to hell !!! 1)First the heresy 2) the Catholic answer Heresy - morning comes and I awake the flutter of the dove begins and life again greets the newborn day. Catholic Answer - a Catholic morning most certainly does not start with the flutter of a dove, but with holy prayer, Psalm 143:8 let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you, I trust.( not in the flutter of a bird). Psalm 5:3 Oh Lord, in the morning you hear my voice, in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch ! Psalm 90:14 satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love... a Catholic greets the Lord !!! not a bird !!! in the morning. Heresy - oh lovely one,( the bird) oh friend so gentle, your cry (the coo of the dove) suggest it's time to go, up on your Voyage to the land of lasting peace. Catholic Answer - only God is "the lovely one" not a bird !!! only by The Cry of the Holy Spirit and prayer do we start our voyage by the word of God. Our Voyage has nothing at all to do with a bird !!! Heresy - the night is O so long and cold and I have known the emptiness that comes from selfishness and insincerity Catholic Answer - a Catholic does not look to a bird or Willow tree and the ash tree to whisper to each other, and to us, about our hearts and souls or how to deal with a long, dark, cold night, filled with emptiness. A Catholic fills their emptiness with the love of God and Prayer, in traditional church teachings, the Bible, Not, earth worship (Pantheism), this is a mortal sin and this song teaches Earth worship !!! A sin against the first commandment and second commandment. Heresy - the Willow tree and the ash tree do whisper hearts are free when peace does prosper it's the only song you'll ever sing. Catholic Answer - this is Earth worship the Willow and the ash & bird have nothing to do with the piece of Jesus Christ to say it's the only song you will ever sing is a sin against the first commandment of God you will burn in hell for singing it supporting it or approving of it. A Catholic would never look to a bird or a tree for its salvation it's peace or its Redemption. Heresy - the dove is peace and Lasting happiness. Catholic Answer - a Catholic would never go to a bird or the willow tree or ash tree for peace and Lasting happiness but to Jesus Christ This is a mortal sin it's Earth worship (Pantheism)!!! Heresy - come take the chance of new life in a land so green and prosperous where milk and honey flow forever more. Catholic Answer - there is no green and prosperous land where a Bird and Willow Tree and Ash tree give milk and honey to heal your pain and sorrow and fatigue even for a moment, let alone for the rest of your life. This is not Catholic it is against traditional Church teaching and Jesus Christ, you can and will be excommunicated for it, automatically !!! it is a sin against Jesus Christ against Father, Son and Holy Ghost a sin against the first commandment against the second commandment and the third commandment Catholics do not worship animals or nature. A catholic believes new life is found only in the Love of Jesus Christ His Traditional Catholic Church. Heresy - without the risk life isn't worth the pain the sorrow and fatigue which every man will know until the end. The window wide is open on the world so begging for your song to come and heal The Strife men nurture for themselves. Catholic Answer - a Catholic does not listen to a wide-open window begging us to sing a song for us to come and feel The Strife Man cause for themselves, Catholic listens only to Jesus Christ his CHURCH, Catholics do not listen to Windows or Birds or a willow tree or an ash tree, this is a "Earth worship (Pantheism)" album !!! And a mortal sin throw the album out before you burn in hell because of it. .

God bless ya awesome dishy

Very smooth, very nice.I am going to try to remember this melody next time I pray this canticle. Thank you. =mv=

Thanks for posting. PAX

who composed this? its very beautiful

🌿🕊

Very beautiful I use this in my morning prayer is it possible to get an MP3 version. through a site like amazon

Who sings this?

Weston Priory album - wherever you go. The song - "Anything Happens". Can this song send you the hell !!! Heresy - anything happens if we are open to… Catholic answer - a Catholic is open only to the traditional teachings of the Catholic church and Saints and Catholic Bible and Jesus Christ for healing and mercy for our salvation Heresy - see that creation is coming alive… Catholic answer - without God there is no creation because creation depends on God 100% unlike man who needs creation, as the next verse says, to heal broken hearts that now radiate healing the spirit within has been freed by creation. Heresy - the real and the Beautiful transformed with love and The Wonder of New Life turn on right now. Catholic answer - Catholics see the real and the Beautiful In God's love and mercy through Jesus Christ. Heresy - Birds on the wing trees and the rivers stones and their silence cry out. Catholic answers - there is no transforming power in a stone no matter how open you are or a tree or a bird this is called Earth worship a mortal sin against God there is no wonder of new life in a tree or a stone or a river no answers to the broken heart pain and trials of life but only in the transforming love and mercy and power of Jesus Christ. Heresy - "turn on right now" Catholic answer - this verse is a cliche from the drug-infested hippie movement in the 1960s it is a disgrace to teach people in a song to "turn on right now" by being open to embrace a stone or a tree or a bird to heal a broken heart, this is a grave sin against the first commandment there is nothing in creation that can make things happen in our lives. Nothing will happen if you are open to a stone a bird a tree or a river they will not get you into heaven or save you from the fires of hell this is all Earth worship (Pantheism) and a mortal sin Heresy - "witness the power of Life come dance with delight" There was no power of life in a stone tree bird or river Telling people to dance before a stone or tree or the river or a bird is an act of worship it's Earth worship a grave sin "Give someone the wealth of your all" is evangelizing and preaching a new religion you will burn in hell for singing this song supporting it or in possession of it or any other songs of Weston Priory that teach Earth worship. It is Pantheism.

Amen🙏
