The closing song undoubtedly intended to commemorate a high holy day of the State. To think that Rousseau could once complain that Christians loved God more than country. He preferred a civil religion that “joins divine worship to a love of the law, and that in making the homeland the object of a citizens’ adoration, it teaches them that the service of the state is the service of the tutelary God.”

I thought the sequence was required.

I thought the sequence was required.

Well, Father, you know …

I started rehearsing the chant with our schola two weeks ago to have it ready for Pentecost. I was out of town that day; I can report that the Oklahoma City cathedral did not bother with it either.

By the way, before the post-Vatican II renewal of the order, the Teresians were required to recite the Golden Sequence three times a day as instructed by their founder, St. Henry de Ossó. It seems that he thought it worth the bother.

Well, Father… you know…OCP forgot to include any of the Sequences in its 2004 Missalette (That’s right - No “Victimae Paschali,” No “Veni Sancte,” No “Ecce Panis”) and although I was quite prepared to chant the Pentecost Sequence, I couldn’t see how the congregation could follow…

“I can’t believe it - you mean to say the missalette people simply forgot to include the sequence among the Readings?” asked Fr. Robert.

Well, yes…but OCP did email its subscribers, saying not only would the Sequences be included in the Readings next year, they would even print the Vatican Graduale chant music for all four surviving sequences NEXT YEAR.

“Well,” Fr. Robert said, “All Franciscans are moving out of this parish next year, so I’ll be gone by then. So you better do the sequence in my least favorite Sequence setting: Beethoven’s ‘Hymn to Joy.’”

We have no choice.

End of story.
