Nov 22 – Homily – Fr Ignatius: We Need Sacred Music

Griswold Friars — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:14:28 +0000

Homily #131122 ( 05min) Play – Sacred music is set apart for divine worship, whose purpose is to give glory to God and sanctify the people. Gregorian chant is the supreme model and “holds pride of place because it is proper to the Roman Liturgy” (GIRM 41). St. Cecilia is the patron of music and we invoke her intercession for the renewal of sacred music in the liturgy.
Ave Maria!

Audi, Benigne- A Lenten Hymn

Eliott Yozwiak — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 14:30:27 +0000

Ave Maria,
In the Roman Breviary this hymn is used at Sunday Vespers during Lent from the first Sunday in Lent until the Friday before Passion Sunday.

AUDI, benigne Conditor, nostras preces cum fletibus, sacrata in abstinentia ¹ fusas quadragenaria.	O MERCIFUL Creator, hear! To us in pity bow Thine ear: accept the tearful prayer we raise in this our fast of forty days.
Scrutator alme cordium, infirma tu scis virium; ad te reversis exhibe remissionis gratiam.	Our hearts are open, Lord, to Thee: Thou knowest our infirmity; pour out on all who seek Thy face abundance of Thy pardoning grace.
Multum quidem peccavimus, sed parce confitentibus, tuique laude nominis ² confer medelam languidis.	Our sins are many, this we know; spare us, good Lord, Thy mercy show; and for the honor of Thy name our fainting souls to life reclaim.
Sic corpus extra conteri dona per abstinentiam, ieiunet ut mens sobria a labe prorsus criminum. ³	Give us self-control that springs from discipline of outward things, that fasting inward secretly the soul may purely dwell with Thee.
Praesta, beata Trinitas, concede, simplex Unitas, ut fructuosa sint tuis haec parcitatis munera. Amen.	We pray Thee, Holy Trinity, one God, unchanging Unity, that we from this our abstinence may reap the fruits of penitence. Amen.

Eliott Yozwiak — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 14:07:19 +0000

Ave Maria!
This hymn encompasses the joy of Mary in this Easter season! May we rejoice with Her and Her Beloved Son!

CONCORDI LAETITIA
1. With harmonious joy, with sadness repelled,
the Church recalls Mary’s praise: O Virgin Mary!
2. Who, with happy joy – the Lord having risen –
flowered like a lily, beholding her Son alive. O Virgin Mary!
3. O how the celestial choruses sing praise with equal concert, and
we, together with the dwellers in heaven, compose a new melody:
O Virgin Mary!
4. O Queen of virgins, be favorable to the prayers of your suppliants,
and after the circuit of death, confer the prize of life: O Virgin Mary!
5. O glorious Trinity, indivisible Unity,
on account of Mary’s merits, save us throughout the ages:
O Virgin Mary!

Veni Sancte Spiritus- Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate

Eliott Yozwiak — Sun, 20 May 2018 00:24:35 +0000

Ave Maria,
As we celebrate Pentecost, may we call down the Holy Spirit with the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate!

VENI, Sancte Spiritus, et emitte caelitus lucis tuae radium.	COME, Holy Ghost, send down those beams, which sweetly flow in silent streams from Thy bright throne above.
Veni, pater pauperum, veni, dator munerum veni, lumen cordium.	O come, Thou Father of the poor; O come, Thou source of all our store, come, fill our hearts with love.
Consolator optime, dulcis hospes animae, dulce refrigerium.	O Thou, of comforters the best, O Thou, the soul’s delightful guest, the pilgrim’s sweet relief.
In labore requies, in aestu temperies in fletu solatium.	Rest art Thou in our toil, most sweet refreshment in the noonday heat; and solace in our grief.
O lux beatissima, reple cordis intima tuorum fidelium.	O blessed Light of life Thou art; fill with Thy light the inmost heart of those who hope in Thee.
Sine tuo numine, nihil est in homine, nihil est innoxium.	Without Thy Godhead nothing can, have any price or worth in man, nothing can harmless be.
Lava quod est sordidum, riga quod est aridum, sana quod est saucium.	Lord, wash our sinful stains away, refresh from heaven our barren clay, our wounds and bruises heal.
Flecte quod est rigidum, fove quod est frigidum, rege quod est devium.	To Thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow, warm with Thy fire our hearts of snow, our wandering feet recall.
Da tuis fidelibus, in te confidentibus, sacrum septenarium.	Grant to Thy faithful, dearest Lord, whose only hope is Thy sure word, the sevenfold gifts of grace.
Da virtutis meritum, da salutis exitum, da perenne gaudium, Amen, Alleluia.	Grant us in life Thy grace that we, in peace may die and ever be, in joy before Thy face. Amen. Alleluia.

Miraculous Mission of Christ and St. Gregory – Sep 03 – Homily – Fr Joseph Michael

apostolate — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 11:47:29 +0000

Fr Joseph Michael gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Sep 03, 2025, where he explores Christ’s healing and preaching mission through the sacraments and reflects on St. Gregory the Great’s impactful life and miracles.

He highlights the powerful mission of Jesus Christ, who heals body and soul through the sacraments like baptism, confession, and the Eucharist, while also showing His call to spread the gospel to all places. It emphasizes the importance of prayer and solitude in connecting with God. The homily also honors St. Gregory the Great, a significant Pope and Doctor of the Church, known for his writings, missionary efforts, contributions to Gregorian Chant, and key events like the Eucharistic miracle and his vision of St. Michael during a plague, inspiring us to reflect Christ in our own lives.
