"Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" from the Notre Dame Basilica

"Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" from the University of Notre Dame Basilica. It was the recessional hymn of the Mass of Ordination for my friend and former ND roommate, Gregory Haake, along with 3 other fellow ordained, on 4/14/07, the week after Easter (hence the seasonal hymn). Performed by the Notre Dame Liturgical Choir, it is perhaps the most powerful rendition of the hymn I've ever experienced.

@ConejosGuy There will always be anti-Catholics, and Catholic Bashers ... there were 3 nuns at a major league baseball game with their nun's attire which seemed to block some of the spectators view, the nuns were listening to those annoyed "lets never go to a game with Catholics, I hate Catholics .. after hearing this through the game, the Mother Superior turned around and told one of the spectators "Why don't you GO TO HELL! There's NO Catholics There !"

@clyffe347 No, not at all. Doesn't bother me in the least.

Matthew 24:3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Christianity will vanish into the mists of an ancient time and studied academically like all long vanished religions. We are trapped by our fear of meeting a future without purpose but there is purpose within our hearts as we engage the needy. There is purpose in the needy and they are our transcendence. BTW I do love the Anglican Prayer Book tradition and it too brings forth the transcendental into my life.

The Eastern Orthodox Church is the true Church. The Romans are just a branch of the early Unified Church of Christ. It was Rome who left by teaching false doctrines and changing the Ecumenical Creed. Protestants are just a branch of a branch...and many are branches of branches on and on. Wikipedia has a fairly good article on Eastern Orthodoxy. All religions have their good and bad points...it's the people who make it what it is.

I hear this when I am driving trolley in the summer!

@TheSeattlehawk94 The Catholic Church classifies Protestantism as a heresy, not a cult. I myself am a firm protestant. But I went to a Catholic university and am good friends with some of the priests. I was anti-Catholic until I they told me what they REALLY believe. Contrary to what protestants want people to think, the Catholic Church's salvation message is nearly identical to ours. We have a lot to agree on and should focus on unity as Jesus prayed for us in John 17.

@kksd2 Now that's just a wonderful way to bring people to Christ...but those spectators did deserve the comment though.

As an Anglican a total privilege that you have got this copy. A most wondefrul day for FR Haake, he must have good friends, hope things have worked out.

I hope he does not compromise like we see too many places on here.

Deffinately the key I would play it if I had a choice but we ALWAYS do it in C. It sounds nicer in B Flat.
