Kyrie Eleison

[pozestillusion]

We sang this in choir in high school, but I can't find the exact version that we did... It's driving me crazy...

[aliciamarie230]

@pozestillusion i know how u feel i cnt find the one we did either we did the one by sherri poterfield and i cnt find it

[Pitkamien]

What divides them is a doctrinal issue of importance. Gregory Palamas, a theologian in the 1300's, argued that when we look at Christ on Mount Tabor, there is a Light or Energy. That we can never be part of God's True Essence, but we can become part of this Light. It contradicts orthodox theology, as that when one eats Christ's Body, and drinks His Blood the Universal Church has always taught we become part of Christ's True and Real Essence, not just some Cosmic spiritual Oneness in Him

[ServusDei20]

is a beautiful video, I like it so much, specially the music, i like that kind of music, what's the name of that song?, I want to find some, i really like them, what's the name of the song and the album? God bless everyone

[alchimiste1968]

@ServusDei20: Kyrie Eleison, by Josquin des Prés.

[007TruthSeeker]

Thank you for this evocative video to kyrie eleison.

[fjgr1x1]

Kyrie, expurgator scelerum et largitor gratitæ; quæsumus propter nostras offensas noli nos relinquere, O consolator dolentis animæ, eleyson

[imuseno]

But Greek Cristianity is almost like Roman Catholic if I am not wrong. Correct me if I am wrong but if you analyze the Roman Catholic Tradition, compare it to that CHurch, it looks almost the same.

[MarylandGurl]

@imuseno Thats true. I'm a Greek Catholic, and you're right.

[SaAaAaL1996]

very beautiful song

[karadimoss]

it's a shame that the Church of Christ is still devided.

the two main churches, Eastern and Western must be one soon.

[alfamenosuno]

you are so right on this.

[meusisto]

@karadimoss

Please, I'm ignorant on this and would like to know more.

What does make them divided and what should be overcome in order to be only one?

Sincere thanks

[alchimiste1968]

@meusisto : From my point of view, two things: a political problem (Greek do not recognize the roman Pope as a superior, but as an equal), and theological problem (for Roman Catholics, the Son comes from the Father, and the Holy Spirit comes from the Father and the Son, whereas for the Greeks, the Holy Spirit and the Son comes from the Father).

[nhiapthao]

This is so beautiful, although it gives me goosebumps. Makes me happy and sad at the same time.

[MilitiaeChristianae]

Hail Christ our King!

Pas vobis.

[chorister88]

Josquin de Prez mass L'homme arme :) :\ i think

[tritonusgesang]

Wunderschöne Musik! - Kompliment! - Fein gesungen!

[computerwiz10]

Thank you!!

[mottledbrain]

Can someone refresh my memory? In the traditional Latin Mass we sing this one Mass part in Greek. Why? (I used to know ... I guess I'm having yet another 'senior's moment'.)

[s8r7c]

Because the early language of the Mass before Latin was Greek. It was out of respect for the language, and tradition that it was kept. It was the intent  during the changes in the mid 1960's to do the same. It is making a return now.

[SohoKnights]

Before the Ctholics split, there was one church, all in Greek the common language of that time. There are "some " words that cannot be truly translated, and that is why I believe that both the Anglicans and Catholics still use certain words in Greek.

Christ is Risen 19 April) or 12th ?

[rogersfreud]

someone knows their history. the 'one church' is referred to as Orthodox Christianity and still practiced.

[availabillity1]

Catholics give Christianity a bad reputation. They are a disgrace to the religion and we Orthodox Christians will never accept the vatican's apology for bringing the dichotomy of the church and for the crusades. Get it right.

[GrumpyOldTroll]

St Maximus the Confessor wrote (PG xci, 144) that the Roman See "from God the Incarnate Word Himself as well as all the holy Councils, according to the sacred canons and definitions, has received and possesses supreme power in all things and for all things, over all the holy churches of God throughout the world, as well as power and authority of binding and loosing. For with this church, the Word, who commands the powers of heaven, binds and looses in heaven."

[spesalvi23]

There's the Christian Spirit!!

Wonderful!

[SohoKnights]

As I am forgiven, so I must forgive others, as I am loved, so must I love others! If I do not forgive, I will not be forgiven, will I?

[alfamenosuno]

availability1, I don't seriously think you are a christian, Christians forgive, whatever you tight on earth will be tight in heaven, watch out for what you say about not forgiving Catholics. If you are an orthodox christian you bring shame to the orthodox church.

[GrumpyOldTroll]

Actually, before the Orthodox split, Latin had been the language of the liturgy in the West since the 4th century AD.

[thatstrbl]

Just to clarify, it was long before the Schism of 1054 that the Mass was changed into Latin. Around 400 the Mass began widespread use in Latin but the Eastern Church was allowed to keep its Rites. Heck, at one point there were 32 Rites in Europe alone. The Kyrie remains in Greek to recognize important roots of the Church in Greece and also with the Greek language, which many of the New Testament books were written and geared towards Greek speakers. Use of these languages was for unifying

May God bless you too and keep you safe also.

[franklindavid]

Inspiring Chant, which Abbey is it from?.

[Kfowler9909]

omg we have to sing this in my chorus!!

[jrogers42]

This is lovely

[cacdac09]

in my choir class we are singing this.and our class sounds like an actual choir in church.

[Unknowngirl1337]

Kyrie Eleison = Lord have mercy

Christe Eleison = Christ have mercy

[XxAllyKat94xX]

mmm nice. look up 'kyrie eleison jb maunier/les choristes'. that's nice too.

[angel31572]

This brings back lovely memories for me, although we sang it very differently. Beautiful.

[mrsbeautiful37]

im singing this song in my choir but it's a different version. it is pretty though. sopranos are the best all the time!!!

[drummerkid71]

May God bless all of you and may he keep you all safe.

[sirEred0r]

"kyrie eleison" that's greek and yes that means god have mercy on us .greedings may the Lord bless you all brothers

[stunhabter]

That is almost true. "Kýrie Eléison" means "God have mercy". If you want to say "God have mercy on us" you'd say "Kýrie litania"

[alchimiste1968]

Hi! "Kyrios" is "Master" (the owner of a house, of slaves, the lord of a property). And you are right about "Eleison": it means "Have mercy". Not sure about "litania" (it sounds more like modern greek).

[availabillity1]

Kyrios means Lord.

litania is not modern Greek it's old greek and it means the ritual of confession and the prayer for forgivness.

[MplusIshow]

I sing this song in my choir, it sounds alot different-i think this one is just as pretty as the one in my choir...Kyrie eleison is saying god have mercy on us.

[karataonah]

esta musica celestial depura el alma.

[Frutholf]

Tenor is the best part of every choir ;)

[sharingan1903]

our highschool choir is singing this song, i love my tenor part

[francoir06]

have mercy on me oh God in your Kindness, in your compassion blot out mu offense, oh wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sins

[anisometropie]

i think I prefer Bach's one :)

[benaggreyfynn]

Serene, Peaceful and soothing.

Lord have mercy on us and save us from hell. Amen.

I love this very much.

Many thanks for sharing.

Welldone and God bless †

[fritzderochebrune]

Indeed, a beautiful song!

†The Lord bless us and keep us†

†The Lord lift His countenance upon us†

†And give us peace†

[jelowery2]

I prefer to focus on the risen Christ but the music is exceptional. Thank you.

[trekie01]

May the Blessed Trinty bless you all = )

[fgdtah]

Catholics say this during mass aswell

[rifkenhausen]

I prefer the Mr. Mister version.

[hrizotaurus]

Thank you for this most beutiful and powerful prayer-Kyrie Eleison!!!!!!!!!!

[tezeriz]

God bless you. I love Jesus.

[BobfromSalem]

I love going between the very traditional to the more contemporary. I just heard "Lord have Mercy" with Michael W. Smith, then I heard this (spanning several hundred years)- Both versions are awesome. Thanks for posting this and may God Bless you!

[Wooohooohooo]

thank you and God the father, God the son, God Holy Spirit be with you all.

[Crisanthemum]

its Beautiful! But I LOVE the Orthodhox one it just makes you feel what you're asking and makes you cry!

Kyrie Eleison

[ToryAnarchist]

I heard the Orthodox Kyrie Eleison just a few minutes ago. It's quite powerful in it's own way.

[BaranovV]

ORTODOX XRISTIANS its true.

[markosteona]

truly it is

[greek170]

this is what us greek orthodox sing...what religion is this?

[alchimiste1968]

Roman Catholic. In the pre Vatican Mass Rite, the Kyrie is the only greek portion.

[alchimiste1968]

I want to say: pre Vatican II Concilium

[DeusVult777]

Kyrie Eleison. I love it!

[IAmBiggestFan]

Where is Theotokos?

[AthensAnna]

this is about our Kyrie, not our Theotokos.

[Oldbigchief]

Here I'm just a poor cockroach absolutely delighted with this vid work. I know, you selected images for it, mostly from state-of-the-art Gibson artwork. But, bro, that music... THAT MUSIC! Perhaps you have a special passport to heaven to record things?

God bless you, may the Mighty Lord bless you and all of your life.

An spanish Catholic.

[Sheebles66]

I am studying music of the renaissance and pulled up this video. Absolutely beautiful!!!!

[Mumusthereal]

So am I! Have you tried Palestrina yet?

[linuxlad]

from the master's l'homme arme mass 'on the sixth tone'?

just possibly the Jeremy Noble recording???

[alchimiste1968]

You are absolutely right! You are a "connaisseur"!

[Ockeghem12]

Yes, this is the Missa L'homme armé sexti toni, sung by the Tallis Scholars.

[peachfeather]

Beautiful video. God Bless.

[dencic]

Great video and music!
