I just attended All Souls' Mass at Newman Parish, Melbourne and heard Dies Irae in Latin for the first time. Glory be to God, who will come to judge the living and the dead whose reign will last forever. Amen
When I was in 8th grade, we would sing for the parish's funeral Masses. We sang this hymn. As I listened, I sang along. I still remembered the Latin to this day. I am 77 years old now.
Dear sisters in Christ, it is impossible for me to express the emotions that I feel when I listen to your holy songs, your angelic purity and your beautiful voices are an extension of the beauty of God, every time I hear your songs I feel like crying and many times I do it, not because I am sad, but because they help me to feel the eternal love of God and the affection of our holy mother Mary. Thank you for sharing so much beauty in these times of evil and sadness.
Put your trust in Christ alone. He died and rose again for the whole world, no man on earth can save you. It is through your faith in Christ and his finished work on the cross.
Read 2 Thessolonians 3: 1-3 In those verses, St. Paul requests the prayers of those reading his letter. If it's good enough for Paul it's good enough for us.
I can only desire Heaven upon hearing this celestial chant for souls. Thank you holy sisters! God bless you and our Lady keep you+ Laudetur Iesus Christus+
And Pope Francis believes that ladies such as these have nothing to offer? That singing alone is 1500 years of perfection!!!! Sing on dear Brides of Christ, Your Spouse is delighted with you!
Dies iræ, dies illa, Solvet sæclum in favilla: Teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando Iudex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus! Tuba, mirum spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupebit, et natura, Cum resurget creatura, Iudicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur, Unde mundus iudicetur. Iudex ergo cum sedebit, Quidquid latet, apparebit: Nil inultum remanebit. Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus, Cum vix iustus sit securus? Rex tremendæ maiestatis, Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis. Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuæ viæ: Ne me perdas illa die. Quærens me, sedisti lassus: Redemisti Crucem passus: Tantus labor non sit cassus. Iuste Iudex ultionis, Donum fac remissionis Ante diem rationis. Ingemisco, tamquam reus: Culpa rubet vultus meus: Supplicanti parce, Deus. Qui Mariam absolvisti, Et latronem exaudisti, Mihi quoque spem dedisti. Preces meæ non sunt dignæ: Sed tu bonus fac benigne, Ne perenni cremer igne. Inter oves locum præsta, Et ab hædis me sequestra, Statuens in parte dextra. Confutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus addictis, Voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis: Gere curam mei finis. Lacrimosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favílla Iudicandus homo reus: Huic ergo parce, Deus: Pie Iesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen.
I wanted to be a nun when I was 20. I’m 62 now married for 40 years 4 children 6 grandchildren. But I still feel I missed my call. My life’s been yard.
Have you thought about joining a Third Order? I didn't know whether or not to become a priest until a month before I was married, and now I'm a professed lay religious with the Dominican Order, and my wife is received as well 💜 we vowed that, if the other dies, we'll become a priest/nun
In midst of cacophony and confusion, This and every morning ( Monday 20 November 2023AD, 0255 BMNT) , I Myself, John Rodriguez, can rest in The Promises of GOD via Jesus Christ, and ,listen to the noviates chant Dies Irae. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️♥️🇻🇦🇻🇦✝️☦️🌫️🕊️⛪🙏‼️
