Miserere Mei Deus

A shorter than usual recording of Allegri's Miserere put to Catholic imagery. Rather depressing ... perfect to watch on Good Friday to reflect on the sufferings of Our Lord.

Like Angels singing from the Heavens- listening to this brings incredible calm- just beautiful!

This really is beautiful, i heard it first in a tv show called this is england '88 and just had to find out what it was. i dont think it's "depressing" at all. i dont know why it says that in the description. =)

the most beautiful piece ever written. it is a shame the lyrics are meant to put people in guilt and shame for then to seek the Lord, when the feeling the music gives is (to me, anyway) that of being held in the arms of something that says "it's okay".

Magnificent... these are boys singing with men, yes?

Ah, the divine clarity of their voices... no man, especially no woman, can match a boy there.

Let's not forget the important things here:

1. Christ paid the debt of our sin once and for all.

2. He beat death and is now alive

3. We have free access to the Father through Him

4. The Holy Spirit now resides in the hearts of those who call on His name.

If you don't have any qualms with the above, then cease with the divisive banter.

@178Lawrence I like how you posed a question and immediately attacked as if you knew the answer.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (I Cor 1:10)

I wasn't attacking the crucifix, Lawrence. I sense belligerence, and not much else. Don't let your catholicism overshadow your membership in the Kingdom of God.

@gwreeves1987

Was that a sad attack on the Crucifix?

I ask you, if a bare cross had stood on Calvary 2000 years ago, what would it mean? Nothing. The only thing that makes the cross a symbol of Chrsitianity is because a certain man died on it. That is all that makes it important. He is risen, but we are called to preach crucified Christ (1 Cor 1:23), he is clearly portrayed on the cross (Gal 4:1).

He is risen, but we Catholics won't ever forget his death either.

[gwreeves1987]

Jesus, Savior of all who accept you as Lord, thank you for your sacrifice!

The cross, which inflicted temporary suffering upon your flesh, is now empty! It could not contain you! Neither could death or the grave, for you have defeated both and set us free from our bondage to sin and the law!

HE IS RISEN!!

I'm secular/Atheist but when I hear this I'm instantly transported to another level spiritually. Amazing to reflect by, this.

@dirtyrussianspy Yes, I was thinking Allegri, but out came Albinoni
