The Lamentations of Jeremiah are sung during the liturgy of Tenebrae (divine office of Matins & Lauds) on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday on simple, mournful tones. In addition to the standard tones provided, there are optional, more elaborate tones taken from various medieval Mozarabic manuscripts from Spain. This is the third lesson reading on Good Friday and the tone is taken from an 10th century codex from Leon, Spain known as the "Codex Biblicus Leonensis."

These lamentations - like the Psalms - can be interpreted in a number of different ways.
1) Historical. It is a prophesy of the destruction of the Jews and Jerusalem for their innumerable evils, especially for their rejection of the Messiah and their Deicide.
2) Spiritual. Jeremiah is a "type" or "prefiguring" of Jesus, like Moses and many others. In that sense, the personal words/prayers of Jeremiah to God can be seen as Christ's words to the Father. And, in as much as we are baptized into Christ and have him dwelling in our souls by sanctifying grace, they can be our words to God also.
3) Spiritual. In as much as we willfully sin, we too are like the Jews, condemning Jesus to death, mocking Him, spitting on Him, crucifying Him. In this sense, the evils we read of concerning the Jews can also be applied to our own souls, broken and desolate with sin, until we repent and return to the Lord our God.

English translation:

(Lamentations 3:1-9)
1 Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.
2 Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.
3 Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.
4 Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.
5 Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour.
6 Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
7 Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy.
8 Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer.
9 Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God.

Lesson from the book of Lamentations
Lam 2:8-11
8 Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
9 Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God.

Lam 5:1-11
"[Thus begins the prayer of Jeremiah the Prophet.]
1 Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach.
2 Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
3 We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
4 We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
5 We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.
6 We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.
8 Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
9 We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.
11 They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God."

The Gregorian Chant Academy and the team behind the Neumz app have partnered to present you with some beautiful spiritual commentaries on various chants by the director of the Neumz app, Alberto Diaz-Blanco. Senor Blanco and I both believe that a spiritual/liturgical understanding of the chants is of primary importance. Gregorian Chant is, after all, first and foremost prayer. Therefore, a proper musical interpretation must be firmly rooted in, influenced and guided by a deep spiritual and liturgical understanding of these chants, and we must strive to live our lives in accordance and harmony with them, i.e. truly live our Faith.

"Laetare Jerusalem" is the introit (entrance) chant for the 4th Sunday of Lent which, like Gaudete Sunday in Advent, is a Sunday of rejoicing. The words "laetare" and "gaudete" in fact mean "rejoice"! In Advent, we are rejoicing because of proximity of the birth of our Savior; but here in Lent, we are rejoicing because of the proximity of the promise of our Savior, our salvation itself, by His death and resurrection.

⁣To the best of my knowledge, the melody of this chant, "Attende Domine", comes from a 17th century codex while the text comes from a 10th century Mozarabic codex. It speaks of the penitent's admission of his sin and guilt, without ever giving way to depression or despair, wonderfully captured by the joyful yet peaceful melody. The soul, full of trust, confesses its sins and calmly places itself in hands of its Redeemer, knowing, without a doubt, that He will forgive those who are truly sorry for their sins.

⁣Here is a behind the scenes look at a typical winter day in my life, off the grid, in north Idaho (filmed in January, 2023). The house shown in the first 2/3 of the video is my own house, which I built, almost entirely by myself in the span of about 3 months (doing nothing but working on the house), back in 2020. It is far from finished, but with God's help and good time, it will be finished some day. The area in which the house is located, when we first bought the property, was so thickly covered in brush and trees you could only make your way through it by a very small game trail, with hardly any sense of direction. It took a lot of work to get the hillside cleared enough to begin building the house, the chicken yard, the wood shelter, the garden, etc. Special thanks to my sister-in-law, who claims she doesn't know anything about filming, for filming this for me.

This Q&A with Fr Chad Ripperger was pre-recorded for the world's first online International Conference on Gregorian Chant and originally aired on Oct 1, 2022. Because this recording took place over Zoom with less-than-perfect internet connection, there are occasional glitches in the video/audio. Fr Ripperger is the founder and superior of an order of exorcists (Society of Our Most Sorrowful Mother, aka Doloran Fathers) according to the traditional rite of exorcism, with a PHD in Thomistic Philosophy, a Masters in Theology, and is a personal friend.

⁣From NewAdvent.org: The Ave Regina Caelorum is one of four Antiphons of the Blessed Virgin sung in the Divine Office in turn throughout the year, and is assigned from Compline of February 2nd to Compline of Holy Wednesday. It recalls the part Mary had in the drama of the reopening of Heaven to men and shows her as reigning there Queen of Angels. Its date of composition is uncertain, but... [it's earliest appearance is] found in the St. Alban's Book of the twelfth century. ... Bernard [Le Breviaire (Paris, 1887), II, 454 sqq.] says it was introduced into the Divine Office by Clement VI in the fourteenth century.

⁣With the ancient liturgies of Septuagesima and Lent upon us, it can be confusing for some to understand and observe them. This video will provide a overview catechesis of the liturgy for these seasons; we'll cover some of the history, meaning of the words, some key aspects of the liturgy, and show how the relation between the Divine Office and the Mass provide a wonderful instruction on Our Blessed Lord. There is so much more to the liturgy than what is contained in this episode. This is but the tip of the iceberg!

⁣"Alma Redemptoris Mater" is one the four Marian "antiphons" sung during the four liturgical seasons. The antiphons are traditionally sung after Compline (and sometimes after Mass), with the "Alma" being sung from the 1st Sunday of Advent until Vespers of The Purification of Mary, February 2.
Hermannus Contractus is believed to have composed this in the 11th century based on the writings of Saints Fulgentius, Epiphanius, and Irenaeus of Lyon, referring to the Blessed Virgin as "Star of the Sea" and "Gate of heaven," upon whom all nature stared in wonder: a virgin mother! giving birth to her Creator!

⁣This is the devotional chant "Rorate Caeli," different and separate from the Introit chant of the same title, but obviously related. According to a Wikipedia article, "In the seventeenth century, [the] Rorate Caeli was arranged into a hymn combining the traditional text with other scriptural passages used in the liturgy for Advent. The earliest known version is in the Oratorian Officia Propria (1673); it also appears in French diocesan rites, such as the Rouen Processional of 1729 and 1763. ...Under the heading, "Prayer of the Churches of France during Advent", Dom Guéranger [,the great restorer of the Abbey of Solesmes, in his multi-volume work "The Liturgical Year"] gives it as an antiphon to each of a series of prayers ("Ne irascaris ", "Peccavimus", "Vide Domine", "Consolamini") expressive of penitence, expectation, comfort, and furnishes the Latin text and an English rendering of the Prayer." When the text speaks of Sion and Jerusalem being desolate and destroyed, we can this as representative of our own souls, ruined by sin, but restored by penance and God's grace. The harmony in this is by my good friends @HarpaDeiMusic.

⁣This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series, where part 2 will present Dr Taylor Marshall and William F. Jasper. In this episode I will present various Marian prophesies specifically about the 20th and 21st centuries as well as some basic Church teaching regarding prophesy. ⁣Even approved apparitions are not binding (even Lourdes and Fatima) and any Catholic may dismiss them, though it may be imprudent to do so.

I would also recommend this 3 part series by Fr Chad Ripperger:

As regards the controversial apparitions of Our Lady of Garabandal, it should be clearly stated that this apparition has NOT yet been officially approved by the Church, but it has also NOT been condemned. It remains in an undecided state. Therefore, once should consider some of the Church's criteria for discerning apparitions: The mental & emotional stability of the seer(s), their personal sanctity, whether they demonstrate supernatural virtues or vices (especially their levels of obedience, humility, charity), their prayer life, any accompanying miracles (either acted by the seers [such as reading of minds or healing] or possessed by them [such as stigmata], or even the fulfillment of some/all of the prophesies), etc. In all of these, the children at Garabandal have demonstrated mental & emotional stability, their personal sanctity demonstrated by their supernatural virtues, especially of obedience, humility, & charity, incredible prayer life especially with the rosary, and MANY accompanying miracles. In addition, St Padre Pio had met with at least one of the girl seers (Conchita) and was a firm believer and supporter of them, even ordering that his gloves and other personal articles be given to Conchita after his death. Again, this ⁣apparition has NOT yet been officially approved by the Church, but it has also NOT been condemned. It remains in an undecided state. Even approved apparitions are not binding (even Lourdes and Fatima) and any Catholic may dismiss them, though it may be imprudent to do so.
