You don't think we got 86'ed, do you? NEVER! We finally have a show up after revamping the living crap out of our website.
Today we talk about that "other" Benedictus - the one that got cut from the Gospel on the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. That is, the Canticle of Zechariah! Link to text in English and Latin
Feasts for the week, brought to you by the new book A-B-C's, 1-2-3's, and Lit-ur-gees!: June 27-30.  More info:  New Advent Website.
Christus Vincit Semi-live at the neighborhood softball field: It's all-star girls' softball time (and my daughter Brittany is one of those all-star girls' softball players), but that doesn't stop us from playing and discussing our music for the Eleventh Sunday of Ordinary Time and the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

Christus Vincit Semi-live in the living room: Hey, we're like, tired, ya know. We've been doing so much time at the softball field lately that it's become our second home. What's nice though is that Brittany made all-stars, so I'm as proud as a dad can be. But today, we go semi-live in the peace, quiet, comfort, and solace of our own living room, while we play and discuss our music for Corpus Christi. We had a Procession after the Saturday Mass as well.

Music:
1. Ave Verum Corpus (music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
2. O Salutaris Hostia (music by Anthony Werner)
3. Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All (tune: Sweet Sacrament)
4. Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (tune: Grosser Gott)
5. Alleluia! Sing to Jesus (tune: Hyfrydol)
6., 7. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (tune: Picardy), two versions of this hymn appear: the first as arranged by Gustav Holst, sung by the Holy Ghost Choir, the other sung by Fugli, brought to you by Podsafe.
