Yay for Fr. Scalia! Like father, like son!
I had my eye-opening song moment one day while singing "I give you permission to work in my life...."
Ummm, gee, wasn't that nice of me to give the Holy Spirit permission?
Sadly, I am only now realizing how much crap I know by heart. It's time to fill my head with something better! (Palestrina, anyone?)
Yup. Those Novus Ordo diddys are real toe-tappers, aren't they?
Just take a look at Father's feet during the Psalm this Sunday!
I was inspired by your post to post a music rant on my blog. I had just posted a meme of my favorite Latin and English hymns when I saw your post. The juxtaposition of these Novus Ordo songs with the hymns I love was almost too much for me to bear.
Palestrina, indeed!
