New priests' ordination video

The Archdiocese has recently published a very good 3-minute video of the ordination of three new priests for service to the Archdiocese. You will hear snippets from Archbishop's Schnurr homily and see a few scenes from that ordination Mass.  There are many powerful symbols in that ordination ceremony, including the men about to be ordained priests lying prostrate (on the ground, face down) before the altar, symbolizing that they are dying to themselves as they become "another Christ."

We are certainly in for tumultuous times as the opportunity to defend life opens up again. Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the unborn, pray for us!

There is a great Chrsitian musical tradition for celebrating these feast days, and we can work only a few into the structure of the Mass. So I'm posting some video links of hymns for these feast days. Pentecost : * Come Holy Ghost! Holy Trinity: * All Hail Adored Trinity * Holy God We Praise Thy Name * Come Thou Almighty King Corpus Christi: * Jesus My Lord My God My All oming soon>
