  • Pater noster qui es in caelo sanctificetur nomen tuum tuum regnum venit fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra nobis hoc die nostrum panem et dimitte nobis debita sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris et nos non in tentationem sed libera nos a malum, tuum est regnum potestatem et gloria in saecula amen!Glory to God in the highest! Hosana! Hosana!

  • :D

  • Praise be to God.

  • Proud to be Catholic

  • @lichtbroeder

    The Spanish Inquisition was higly exaggerated, and actually was more lenient than civil courts. It was also necessary because a murderer can only kill the body, a heretic kills the souls of others. The Inquisition killed heretics (and much less than the stories say) not martyrs. BBC made a great documentary called the Myth of the Spanish Inquisition. Viva Cristo Rey!

  • @ofwhatmatterisit ¿Viva Cristo Rey? ¿En serio? ¿Y lo dices en defensa de la Inquisición? Eso es blasfemia. Sobre todo después de que el Papa Juan Pablo II PIDIÓ PERDÓN EN EL AÑO 2000 POR LOS CRÍMENES COMETIDOS POR LA SANTA INQUISICIÓN.

    Si no lo sabías, lee un poco. Entérate de en qué Catolicismo vivimos actualmente. Y apréndetelo, por favor.

  • Sanctus Dominus! Ave Jesu Christus!

  • so nice,but can you tell about traditional nice hymn in advent.thanks

  • Proud to be Catholic.

  • One of the most beautiful videos on you tube:)

  • Beautiful hymns. Thank you so much for sharing it with us, Francis.

    Sincerely,

    a non-Catholic Christian who loves to fellowship with his Catholic brothers.

  • That was lovely.

  • seriously...... why would anybody dislike this??? :(

  • @dcrippen2000

    You would be surprised how many American protestant evangelicals still harbor an anti-Catholicism in 2011

  • @Nick83Fairfax Haven't you heard that many protestant denominations are joining the ECT (Evangelicals-Catholics Together). Prominent of them are the 700 Clubs, Chuck Colson, the Billy Graham group, IVCF and others. You can't blames others who are aware of the church history about how the Inquisition killed so many Christian martyrs.

  • @MrEriesal The history of the Inquisition is hardly the reason why many, if not most, protestant evangelicals don't consider Catholics to be Christians. Most of them probably have never even heard of the inquisition! "Wasn't that a game show in the 1950s?"

  • @MrEriesal Of course the Inquisition was horrible, though in the mindset of the times, necessary to safeguard social cohesiveness, as church and state were intertwined. Some Protestants forget that they too inflicted horrors in the name of religion. Catholics were imprisoned, tortured and killed. Religious communities were disbanded and their houses torn down or sold. Shrines to saints were destroyed and artwork in churches was sold, destroyed or defaced.

  • one of those beautiful hymns we never hear anymore:/.......God Bless

  • I just adore this hymn, it's a fantastic tune !

  • Nice Song...God Bless

  • Thank you francis.

  • Very Nice

  • Beautiful RC Hymnal as well,God Bless.

  • Convert to Roman Catholic or evan Orthodox, I and this is ONLY NY OPINION, but protestants espiecaly Evangelicals are not close to god as Catholics and Orthodoxys are. Id recomend to convert over. It will be a good thing if you whant to be closer to god, Jesus and Mary, God Bless in the name of the Fr,. the Son and of the hly Ghost/Sprit, Almen.

  • @lippertism Well said, and I do so agree with you - I was Confirmed into the Catholic Curch at Easter, and it was wonderful !

  • @lippertism How about Latter-day Saints? How close are we to God? Just curious...

  • @Bananianiown

    The majority of Christians consider the LDS, no offense, a non-Christian religion that is detrimental to salvation. LDS positions on the God the Father and God the Son are seen are entirely incompatible with traditional Christianity.

    Additionally, Catholics in particular (and by extension, the Orthodox), consider themselves to have fully legitimate Apostolic Succession, and therefore do not believe in a great apostasy, and so at best consider Mormons apostates.

  • @Reazzurro90 Dang it. Can I still listen to the pretty music?

  • @Bananianiown

    Anytime you want :).

  • OMNIA GLORIA AD DEVM IN CAELAM +++ XPSTVS DOMINVS EST

  • Is there any sheet music for this arrangement on the internet? I want to learn it really bad but cant find it anywhere! only the watered down american melody :(

  • Wonderful hymn, love it, who can not believe in Almighty God, listening to this !

  • @josparkes1 imagine how it feels for me , being christian and believing in scientific facts i dont understand how both worlds cant co-exist. I have to feel pressured to join one camp or the other. Surely all scientific finds gloryfy the workings of god ?

  • @white1whidow Good point. As you say the fact that we understand the world we live in through scientific development, only goes to prove that God is the one true creator of all things. He has given man the intellect to understand and research the world which he created for us and the one we live in.

  • @white1whidow I quite agree with that, and I love what you say there. There are some critical things said about Catholicism but I know that I have found the faith to bring to me a more real profound belief in Jesus which I did not experience in the Anglican church, and it always seems to be so much more Holy !

    I have been told that the rituals are what I like, ! but surely rituals of prayer and responses are strengthening. I am new to the faith so may not be putting this brilliantly !

  • Where was this recorded and who is singing? It's a terrific version of a splendid hymn - thank you for posting it.

  • One of my all-time favorite hymns. By far!

  • I'm not catholic, but I'm rather sympathetic to them. I've been struggling with it myself, but I'm not sure if I should turn to catholocism myself.

  • @Dictator300 why not?

  • @Seakinnfiendin It's a complicated matter. I've nothing against Catholocism, nor its past, its just that I've never done anything like what catholocism has. Its not a matter of doctrine, nor teaching (or whatever), it's a matter of First time. I'm nervous cause I've never done anything like it. I mean, I've been baptised in a catholic church and all, I don't know how to proceed. Get where I'm going with this? Not to mention, I mosly know protestants here and there and they say "catholic evil".

  • @Dictator300 I'm really glad to read this. Do not be afraid. Trust in the Lord.

    It isn't complicated at all. You may find more information here: catholicscomehome [dot] org

    Just speak 2 ur parish priest (or any other priest or deacon) he may help you.

    Yes, some protestants don't like the Catholic Church,but in other centuries the situation was much more difficult and yet people decided to (re)enter the Church.And didn't regret it.

    If u have any other questions: Just send me a personal message.

  • @Seakinnfiendin I do have a few questions: For one, I found something of deep interest. The Bible talks about two sacraments: The baptism and the Breaking of Bread thingie (is it called the Passover?) and drinking of wine (Like that picture Da Vinci painted, get it?). Why then does the Catholic Church have seven? I mean, good God man, seven?!

  • @Dictator300 Hi, the Bible talks also about the Annointing of the Sick (Jas 5,14-15 Mk 6,13), Holy Orders (Acts 1:15-26, 6:6, 9:17-19, 13:3, 14:23, 15:22-23, 1Tim 3:1, 1Tim 4:14, 5:22), Holy Matrimony (Gen 2:4, Matt 19:5-6, Mk 10:8, Eph 5:25, 5:31, Col 3:18), Confirmation (Jn 6:27, Acts 8:14-17, 19:5; Eph 1:13, 4:30, Heb 6:2, Rev 9:4, 14:1, 22:4.), Reconciliation (Matt 3:6; 18:18; Mk 1:5; Jn 20:21-23; Acts 19:18; 2 Cor 2:10; 5:18; Jas 5:14-16; 1 Jn 1:9; Lev 5:4-6; 19:21-22; Nu 5:7; Neh 9:2-3).

  • @Seakinnfiendin Holy Matrimony is a Sacrament? I suppose that makes sense. I'll look more of it up later.

    Either way, you've been a big help, and I've told my parents about my decision. They seem alright with it, but they feel I should find a suitable church and a good priest to follow through with this.

    I do want to ask you about the Crusades however. How do feel about that stuff?

    I know its not something people these days wanna hear about, but I can't help it. Its all very interesting...

  • @Dictator300 I am really glad to read this!

    Yes, you surely should find a good priest to help you. Maybe your local parish priest, maybe the priest of a neighboring parish, or any other one. You aren't bound to frequent any specific parish.

    The Crusades: Well, that's not an easy topic. The space here isn't sufficient either.

    Personally, I think there were good and false points: It was good that the Eastern Christians who plead Rome for help were supported. Some cruelties against Jews,

  • @Dictator300 Muslims and even Christians by crusaders were horrible. I would recommend you to listen to

    catholic[]com /radio/event[]php?calendar=1&c­ategory=&event=6452&date=2010-­10-25

    and read

    catholic[]com/thisrock/2006/06­03tbt[]asp

    and

    fordham[]edu/halsall/sbook1k[]­html

  • @Dictator300 You could also read these articles

    apologeticsguidebook[]com/hist­ory[]shtml#crusades

    God bless!

    I'll pray for you!

  • @Seakinnfiendin I don't know about that. I kindof like the idea of the Crusades. I mean, looking back at history, the whole thing was a thing that was just waiting to happen. The Muslims did push Christendom for quite some time. I really don't think the whole thing could've been some waste of human life.

    I do have another set of questions: Its about sodomy(homosexual acts). That's a sin so long as I have sexual relations with another man, correct? Are there any other forms of sodomy?

  • @Dictator300 Please keep the conversation away from sodomy. Sodomy of any form within the Catholic Church is a sin, it is greater than a Mortal sin, it is a sin that is in an area of it's own namely a sin crying to Heaven for Vengeance - there are 4 sins in this category which are of such a grave nature that the soul is instantly condemned to eternal damnation. These four sins are 1. Wilful Murder 2. The sin of Sodom 3. Defrauding a person of their wages 4,Opression of Widows and Orphans.

  • @Francis1930 I'm sorry, Francis. I was just curious. I understand this isn't the place. Forget I said anything.

  • @Dictator300 Generally speaking you are quite right about the crusades, but there have really been horrible deeds, too: For example riots against some jewish communities, or the depreditation of Constantinople by crusaders.

    About sodomy: This isn't the right place here, actually.

  • @Seakinnfiendin Now this is a topic I can most definitely bring into light. I've not been studying it unceasingly for some years for nothing. I do agree, those were tragedies, but when you take it into the mindset of the time, to them, they were thinking they were avenging Christ. Let me explain. Who tortured Christ? The Romans. The Byzentines, as we call them, WERE the Romans. So there was a kind of hatred for them for it. Who put Christ on the cross? Jews. Get where I'm going?

  • @Dictator300 I know, but to understand these crimes does not mean that they were good. But I'm not an expert on the crusades.

    Maybe you can find someone more experienced in this questions, unluckily, heading my final exams, I don't have the time to study this part of history of the church as it would be necessary.

    God bless.

  • @Dictator300 The Catholic Church calls the "Breaking of the Bread" "Eucharist", that's greek (ευχαριστειν, eucharistein) and means "to say thanks". In this the drinking of wine is included, too.

    Why there are seven sacraments? Well, this question was disputed among catholic scholars, and they got the result: There always must been seven sacraments, because nobody can prove any addition of sacraments at any time. And all of them are scriptural and in use since the first century.

  • @Dictator300 Some of them changed appearance, but not matter.

    Hope to help.

    Yours,

  • I LOVE IT!

  • I've never heard this song before. It is a new treasure to me. Thank you for posting it!

  • im new to all the traditional catholic church and I love it! Thank you so much! I wish the parishes I attend had choirs like this!

  • What is the name of this hymn tune? I love it, and I cannot wait to cancel our parish's subscription to OCP as soon as the new translations come out in the hymnals.

  • That is a GORGEOUS hymn tune! Too bad we Americans don't get that in our Catholic hymnals. I'm jealous! ;)

    BMP

  • As a Precentor to the Anglican Church, this is a very popular Hymn of praise in our Diocese, especially either at the end of Holy Communion, or as a recessional - And all credit goes to the Tenor and Bass voices, and the 'younger' voices for the always superb descant on the last verse! Pax Vobiscum.

  • thank you so much for uploading this fabulous hymn, its so touching. infact its just what i wanted to hear after such a long day and pondering for answers in todays world, of questions about God and who i belong to. God bless you:)

  • I can only assume this was sung in Westminster Cathedral..London.Indeed it is a beautiful Hymn and the choir is without doubt perfect.The strong male presence is a joy to listen to,not to forget the girls and boys singing the Descant. But then please listen to Psalm 8 from our very own York Minster.

  • This is one of my all time favourite hymns.

  • +++ Christus Vincit! Christus Regnat! Christus Imperat! +++

  • ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHRASES EVER

  • Christ is King!

  • Thank you Francis, I love this hymn, we sing it occasionally at the end of our Tridentine Mass. The descant is beautiful on the last chorus.
