What If…

Whether a Gothic cathedral in France, a rural Norman church in England or a Californian mission church, each one in its own way has the power to lift our eyes in contemplation of the New and Eternal Jerusalem.

PDF Download • Anglican Hymnal (1,151 pages)

I bet you’ve not seen this fascinating book! • Many pieces in this Anglican collection are actually translations of Roman Catholic hymns, such as Ave Maris Stella, Audi Benigne Conditor, Ad Regias Agni Dapes, and so forth • Readers will mainly be interested in sections 3 and 4 • The “Englished” versions of the propers (e.g. Puer Natus Est) are quite interesting+

Random Quote

“We went to the early Mass to receive Communion because there was no distribution of Communion at the High Mass. After Mass was the breakfast, which was always of better quality than on ordinary days. Then after the breakfast we all returned to church for the Solemn Mass.”

— Dom Ermin Vitry, OSB
