Hosanna, Hosanna to the son of David.
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.
Amen.
Hosanna to the son of David (Tomás Luis de Victoria)
These are the palms we received at Mass this morning. My husband made a little cross of one of them.
Today we were pleasantly surprised to hear Father J. chant in Latin. He also chanted the Consecration prayers in Latin. Before the dismissal, he told us to expect more Latin during our liturgies. We may even have a Tridentine Mass maybe once a month or so. He explained that Latin was never supposed to be replaced and only used on some occasions but rather, it was always supposed to be used during the Liturgy with the vernacular used on certain occasions.
Latin has made its way into our parish and from the response of some of the parishioners, we couldn't be more happier. It was a very solemn Mass and it was so beautiful. Again, thanks Father J!

How I wish I heard Latin at Mass! Too bad my parish priest never learned any Latin :(
I want to join your Church. What's the name? Lucky you.
MB, I hope that seminarians are still being taught Latin.
Micki: I had been noticing a change since we got this new pastor. But the Masses are really starting to be more solemn with our new assoc. pastor who is a young priest!!
