"Is There A Gregorian Chant Version of 'Dirty Water' Anywhere?"
Today, I went to a Tridentine Latin Mass in the Chapel @ St. John's Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens in the RC Diocese of Brooklyn:
I was near the front of The Chapel. It was a High Mass, complete with Gregorian Chant. As "The Gloria" is not prayed during Lent, it came time for the readings of The Epistle , Gradual & Gospel. There's one thing I never knew about the Traditional Mass & that before the Readings are proclaimed, that the Priest recites Epistle, Gradual & Gospel in Latin, Privately, before his proclamation of The Word. I never noticed it in all these years, but I was never that close to the Altar before. You can teach an old dog new things, as life is a learning process;
The Diocese was at the Top of its' game with this Mass, complete with Latin Missalettes, free of charge from the Ecclesia Dei Society. There was also great news, in that the Traditional Latin Mass Will be offered on all Lenten Sundays & on Easter Sunday @ 9AM;
After This Mass, I was talking with a lady, who knows the score on the Latin Mass & a certain "Olde Towne Team", as she grew up in Boston. So my Red Sox Cap, made her feel at home. "The Nation" is everywhere, even in the Diocese of Brooklyn. "Dice-K" Matzuzaka would feel at home here;
The "Ecclesia Dei" Website Link, is now part of this site, in the growing list of Catholic Links, growing exponentially like the Red Sox Bullpen's Earned Run Average was last season;
