Same here, too. No Latin Masses anymore. (All but a couple, far way from me, were shut down 11/1/23.)

But I must share something fantabulous! (For those who aren't offended by the Latin Mass :blush: )

I turned on YouTube last nite, to suddenly find myself 'entered into' this scene:


(Fast Forward to about 1:30:00, and Holy Communion begins.)

The congregation receives communion kneeling at the altar rail, where linens have been placed. (1:38:00)
The music is outstanding. When I am in that music, my heart just soars towards God.

I know this means very little to those that don't like the Latin Mass ...
but for me, last nite ... on a big screen tv ... this was such a gift!
( :heart: YouTube!)
Thanks for sharing! :D

I feel hesitant to bump an old thread but does anyone find "Go Tell It On the Mountain" kind of lame-sounding? Not saying the words are, but it just sounds like it's not something you'd do at Mass.
I love that song!

For Lady Bug! :p

Got an ear worm yet! :D

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born


I heard it as a Protestant but never heard it sung inside the Catholic Church.

I’ve had the ear worm ever since I read the posts from earlier today.

My church sometimes sings it at Christmas. And, of course, we sang it at my former Lutheran church.

Yeah it’s pretty much a Christmas hymn.

We are many parts
But we are all one Chevy;
Or a Cadillac, or a G.M.C.
We are not a Ford
Or a Mercury;
Or a Plymouth or Dodge
Or a Nissan Mirage,
Sitting in a garage.

Agreed. Many of those hymns are stuck in the 1970s. They aren’t exactly inspirational or theologically sound.
I totally agree. The music is what drew me to the LCMS when I went there. I like so few Catholic hymns. But, it’s the only place to receive the Sacraments.
