Ritual Notes.

This is actually a heads up note. Spread the news, Our Lady of Lourdes' patronal feast day mass will be a solemn mass in the ordinary form. It we be solemn as we can get with a proper procession, torch bearers + incense at the elevation, all the servers attending, candlelight procession etc, etc. But this is the big news:
It will be offered Ad Orientem.
As in Versus Deum.
As in Facing the Liturgical east.
As in, Not Versus Populorum.
As in, with the Back to the People.
As in, Not Facing the People.
Gei it now?
This is Big! I kind of wish I weren't thurifer so that I could take photos. Maybe someone else will come and take photos, or even, God Willing, a video.

Oh. My. Gosh.

It's... It's a miracle. Please God, let it be real!... It's real. I'm in shock. Someone out there actually has the same distinctions between liturgical and devotional music that I make.
PROOF. IN THE PUDDING.
*Dies.*

EPIC.

From an online conversation:

[20:01] But the seething, rising bouts of stupidity born from this subculture make me wonder if I could ever associate with them outside of the interwebs.

[20:01] * Noise † King sighs.

[20:01] You just reminded me of it.

[20:01] I'm too black for this [censored], Riggs.

[20:01] * Kanny shudders at the outcry against the textbook. o.o;

[20:02] Danny Glover should have said that line.

Ok, here we go...

I'm done with the people of Local Catholic Parish. I'm tired of their BS excuses of why I can't practice. It's time to move on.It's been close to a full month since I've had any practice. Mom and Dad want me to try to reason with LCP,but honestly, it's a waste.
I can Try St.Francis de Sales, but I don't know how their organ restoration is going. St.Donato's is also nearby. St.Patrick's stupidly went digital rather than restoring, as if a ritzy place like that couldn't afford it.
I don't know where else to go, or what to do.We'll just see if I need to finallly come to terms with giving upon music.

It's not like we did'nt know it was going to happen.

My voice is totally gone now.

Requiescat in Pace.

Michael Dubruiel.
O gentlest heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of thy servant Micheal. Be not severe in thy judgment, but let some drops of thy Precious Blood fall upon our beloved departed. And do Thou, O merciful Saviour, send thy angels to conduct the soul of thy servant to a place of refresment and peace.
Amen.
Office of the Dead.

I've been playing this song over and over again....

Not AGAIN.....

I saw Mr. Brady, my parish's organist playing a piece that I've heard before. I looked over his shoulder to see the name of it, but it must be a piece with many movements because all I saw was a Roman numeral and "Allegro Maestoso". I've looked it up, but I can't find anything that sounds like it.

............

Looks older than it actually is, doesn't it?

What happenned?

MassInformation is gone.

I wonder why?

It's a first.

Today, I sang the introit, offertory, and communion antiphon of the day.
From the Liber Usualis. In public. I think I did okay, but I messed up a bit during the communion ant. Actually, I got lost. But I recovered and I'm sure no one could tell.
