  1. Beautiful – well done. Thanks for this Easter gift, Paul and Paul. (Mr. Inwood – see you next Monday nite)

    Thank you, Paul! This is wonderful, but I wasn’t expecting any less! I love the sequence with the congregational response!

  3. Terri Pastura

    THANK YOU FOR THIS EASTER BLESSING!

    If this will prevent Victimae Paschali from being sung, it is a blessing indeed. I heard it yesterday, and it made me so sad that some members of the hierarchy still try to prevent the assembly from being able to raise their own holy voices in this acclamation. How refreshing to have a new version in English for today’s church, with a refrain!

    1. Huh? The assembly is perfectly capable of raising their own holy voices to sing Victimae Paschali.

      1. Gerard Flynn

        We do not have to do everything of which we are capable.

        De gustibus non disputandum.

      Why would you want to deny some of your sisters and brothers the joy of singing such a beautiful hymn as Victimae Paschali laudes?

      1. Gerard Flynn

        Why would you want to deny them the freedom to choose to sing it or not?

      2. Michael Barnett

        Never said that I did, Gerard.

        Sandi is the one that wanted to prevent something from being sung.
