A Gem of a Find - The Recovering Choir Director!

I found a beautiful site called "The Recovering Choir Director" or "Cantemus Domino.net ." Please examine the website by Aristotle A. Esguerra if you would like. It is a musical treasure trove of information especially regarding the Graduale Romanum . Here are the Propers for the Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit (with audio and translations according to the Graduale Romanum ) . The MP3 links are quite beautiful. I have been listening to the Introit, "Caritas Dei diffusa est " (Romans 5:5, 10-11; Psalm 102:1). It is absolutely marvelous! The site has been added to the Favorites and Blogroll in the right menu.

Catholic Review Online: Discernment retreat helps youths consider the priesthood

George P. Matysek, Jr. posts a story on a discernment retreat on the Catholic Review Online this week. Here is a snip from the article: Father Gerard Francik, vocations director, said turnout at this year’s dinner was the biggest in more than a decade and probably the biggest ever. After dinner, participants gathered in the chapel to listen to priests and seminarians tell their vocation stories and answer questions about the priestly life. Archbishop O’Brien said he was attracted to the priesthood through the example of the priests of his home parish in New York. Everything revolved around the parish, he said, and it was easy to identify with priests. The archbishop said he loves every minute of his priesthood and he encouraged his audience to be open to God’s call. Read the entire story here .

Papal Mass Readings at Nationals Stadium

A great many of you are trying to find the Mass Readings for the Papal Mass at Nationals Stadium. Please check the EWTN website here . You will notice on the right under, "Words," a link that reads " Liturgical Texts for the Apostolic Visit ." Clicking this will give you the PDF version. Your browser may also be able to view the pages in HTML. I believe this is from the Vatican and has the Vespers service and all liturgies. There are also the words of Pope Benedict to be said at "Ground Zero."
