Welcome!

Today is the 25th Sunday temporis per annum, or the first Sunday of the Jewish year, or even quarttordecim dies p. Ka. Oct. 2757 AUC. Just thought I'd start off Sunday with a little quote from the GIRM which some might find interesting:

"41. All other things being equal, Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the Roman Liturgy. Other types of sacred music, in particular polyphony, are in no way excluded, provided that they correspond to the spirit of the liturgical action and that they foster the participation of all the faithful.50

Since faithful from different countries come together ever more frequently, it is fitting that they know how to sing together at least some parts of the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin, especially the Creed and the Lord's Prayer, set to the simpler melodies."
