Feast of Christ the King: Music
Long live Christ the King!
Tomorrow we celebrate the annual feast of Christ the King, and end high mass with a Eucharistic procession.
The choir will be singing a mixture of music from different time eras, to honor this happy feast day.
The mass setting will be Missa Caritas by William J. Marsh.
He was a local musician and teacher, and a practicing Catholic. You can read about him here.
Again this year, we will sing the triumphant motet by Antonio Cifra, “Ave Rex Noster”, originally arranged for brass quartet.
The rest of our choral hymns are all in some way part of the full text of the hymn “Jesu Dulcis Memoria”, which you can often find translated somewhere in your hand missals:
- Jesu Dulcis Memoria (Victoria)
- Jesu Rex Admirabilis (Palestrina)
- Rex Virtutum (Palestrina)
King of Might, King of Glory, King of eminent Victory! Jesus, Granter of pardon, Honor of the heavenly kingdom!
After mass, during the procession we will sing “Christus Vincit”, to proclaim the reign of Christ our King, as well as the familiar hymn, “Crown him with many Crowns”.
Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!
Suzanne Baars on “Affirmation in the Human Family” Saturday, October 21st
Suzanne Baars of the Baars Institute will be presenting a talk on Affirmation in the Human Family this on Saturday, October 21st at 7 pm in the Parish Hall. Light refreshments will be served. The suggested donation is $10.
Suzanne is a licensed professional counselor and family therapist in Irving. She is a popular presenter at Catholic conferences and often presents the work of her late father, psychiatrist and author Conrad Baars, a pioneer in the field of Catholic psychology. Sue cites the cultural erosion of the family as the root of the lack of affirmation from which many people in our time suffer. She is on the faculty of the Institute for Priestly Formation since 2008, where she teaches diocesan seminarians and is the President-Elect of the Catholic Psychotherapy Association.
