What’s it like to attend the Sacred Music Colloquium?
“If we do not love those whom we see, how can we love God, Whom we do not see?” Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Most Reverend Bishop Dominique Rey recently held a special conference about the Sacred Liturgy called “Sacra Liturgia 2013.”
“I was a late vocation. There were twelve men ordained in my class. All of them were twenty-six years old at ordination. I was thirty-six … ten years late.” — Bishop René H. Gracida (2010)
“Missa Mille Regretz” is based on the famous chanson of the same name…

“The greatest sign of hope for me is the young people I meet who believe more than my generation and recognize how bankrupt our culture is and want the truth.” — Raymond Cardinal Leo Burke
Here at Watershed, Bishop Sheen is one of our favorites.
Forty-six years after the publication of his seminal work, “The Spirit of the Liturgy,” Fr. Romano Guardini reflected on the challenges of the Liturgical Movement in this 1964 letter.
“Until I turned around for the Ecce Agnus Dei at the people’s Communion, I did not know whose sobs I had been hearing.”
It’s odd to hear Archbishop Annibale Bugnini talk about “chant in its ever stimulating freshness.”
“Pope Francis told the crowd that often when he heard confessions in Buenos Aires, he would ask penitents if they had given alms to those begging on the church steps. If they said yes, he would ask if they looked the person in the eye and if they touched the person or just threw coins at him or her.”

We’re under tremendous pressure to transfer our website to a “subscription model.”
We don’t want to do this. We believe our website should remain free to all.

Our president has written the following letter:
* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)
Traditionally on Holy Thursday, the priest washed the feet of thirteen men. Theologians held various opinions regarding whom the “13th man” represented. Before the liturgical changes of Pope Pius XII (which changed the number from thirteen to twelve), the priest washed each man’s feet, kissed his foot, and gave him a coin.
This “coin” business seems providential—inasmuch as our appeal begins on Holy Thursday this year.
