Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus
Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra glória tua.
Hosánna in excélsis.
Benedíctus qui venit in nómine Dómini.
Hosánna in excélsis.
Holy, holy, holy

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna[2] in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.[3]
Hosanna in the highest.

I am outraged! Why isn’t this priest in the rectory pushing papers, attending finance committee meetings, and fulfilling diocesan hoop-jumping requirements?!?!? Instead he dares to be a pastor???
