Sung by the St. Ann Choir at the noon Mass yesterday at St. Thomas Aquinas:
Ingenieri, O bone Jesu
Des Prez, Christum ducem
Morales, Vigilate et orate
As always, the texts of these motets can be found at the Choir website.
In 1867, Matthew Arnold wrote "Dover Beach", a haunting poem evoking the "melancholy, long, withdrawing roar" of the Sea of Faith. As a boomer who finished Catholic elementary school in 1964 and then watched my Church falter, I've found the roar all too audible. So here I wait, listening for the whispers of that Sea's invincible return.
