Dear Friends,
Listen to this moving tribute to our Lady and to Notre Dame Cathedral.Hail, Holy Queen (music) from the Mysteries CD: Copyright © 2003, 2019 (choral arrangements), Danielle Rose Skorich, published by World Library Publications,...
On Easter Sunday, as a Meditation before Mass, the Classic Choir will sing the Cantique de Jean Racine. It is one of the most recognized French Hymns of Praise. The English text sung by the choir is Psalm 84:
O Lord of Host,
How lovely is Thy dwelling place.
My soul longs for thy courts,
My heart and flesh cry out for Thee.
Blest are they whose hope is forever in Thee.
Who praise Thy name.
Who sing their songs within Thy Holy House.
Incline Thine ear,
Look down O Lord.
My spirit longs for Thee.
My sun and shield is The lord of Hosts.
O Lord hear my prayer!
The text is very apropos of this time when we are mourning with the French people, for a a Monument to our Catholic Church.
A PRAYER FOR NOTRE DAME IN PARIS
Lord, at times such as this,
we plead for your mercy.As the grandest of our churches
crumbles about us,
in this our holiest of weeks,
we know too well how small we truly are
on this fragile planet we call home.
Today, so many people are devastated.
They roam the streets in shock at what they see,
and they keep vigil amid the ruins.
Yet you have promised never to forget us.
Do not forget us now.
Comfort the Church of Paris, Lord,
in this disaster.
Pierce, too, our hearts with compassion,
we who watch from afar.
Stay with us in our sorrow,
and help us to trust
in your Son’s resurrection.
And once the images of destruction
have stopped filling the news,
let us not forget that in Christ
we are all the children of Our Lady.
For though the mountains leave their place
and the hills be tossed to the ground,
your love shall never leave us,
and your promise of peace will never be shaken.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
now and forever. Amen.
