Stations of the Cross, written by Fr. Simoulin, read by Fr. Nix.

⁣This Ave Verum, with its harmony and rhythm, comes from a 14th century codex. The text is sometimes attributed to Pope Innocent (III, IV, V, or VI) and has ever since been a favorite of Eucharist adoration. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee in the most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

English translation:
Hail, true Body, born
of the Virgin Mary,
having truly suffered, immolated
on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side
water and blood flowed:
Be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet]
in the trial of death!

O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus,
O Jesus, son of Mary,
[have mercy on me]. Amen.

Latin Text:
Ave verum corpus, natum
de Maria Virgine,
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine
cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:
esto nobis prægustatum
in mortis examine.

O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie,
O Iesu, fili Mariae.
[Miserere mei.] Amen.

⁣I recorded 3 versions of the melody for the Introit "Populus Sion" from the 2nd Sunday in Advent: from the Graduale Romanum, Graduale Novum, and the Liber Gradualis. Here is what they sound like!

⁣This is the Introit from the Mass for the Dead. The month of November is dedicated to the holy souls in Purgatory. Never forget to pray for them as they are unable to help themselves.

This video is especially dedicated to my dear friends Leo Heinen, his baby niece Emma Grant, both of whom died from tragic accidents only one year apart, and Emma's mother Sarah (Leo's sister) who died from cancer 3-1/2 years after Emma, after having given birth to her 8th child. RIP

⁣Due to many requests over the past year, here is my own version of the "Gregorian Rosary." Instead of making a generic rosary for any and all mysteries, I have opted to use melodies which suitably represent each of the mysteries, beginning here with the Joyful mysteries. Next Lent, I plan on releasing the Sorrowful mysteries, followed by the Glorious in Eastertide. May God bless you and our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! It is my hope that this may help others to pray the rosary more devoutly; to more easily meditate on the mysteries of the most holy rosary.

"Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the World... So many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray for them." ~ Our Lady of Fatima, 1917
"“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.” ~ Sr Lucia dos Santos of Fatima
"The Rosary is the weapon of our times." ~ St Padre Pio
"Give me an army praying the rosary and I will conquer the world." ~ Pope Pius IX
“One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.” ~ St Dominic
