I notice that I always think the earthquake started on the roof. I wonder if Biblical references that might connect the voice of the Lord speaking from heaven to earthquakes might have this origin (e.g., Psalm 25:5-6). The Douay-Rheims and NIV don't have the literal translation, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the right translation from context.<br /><br />Happy Easter!

At one parish I belonged to, the Procession sings hymn #157, which is that portion set to chant; it's very beautiful. And then sing "All Glory, Laud, and Honor." Is that what you guys do, too? It's definitely wonderful that way.<br /><br />At St. Mary's, "All Glory, Laud, and Honor" is sung during the procession in Times Sq. Once we come back to the church, we stop and say the portion of Psalm 24: "Lift up your heads, O gates, that the King of Glory may come in." There are a few responses here. And then, I believe, the hymn sung on the re-entrance into the church is #156, "Ride on, ride on in majesty." Which is also a splendid liturgical choice; that's a powerful hymn.<br /><br />Looking forward to Sunday!<br /><br />blshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627725321531151309noreply@blogger.com
