PEACE & MERCY

  • I recently discovered the music of The Priests (self-titled CD).
  • "Pie Jesu" has become one of my favorite pieces, and it brings a real peace each time I hear it. May it do so for you too. In fact, we will play it during the distribution of the Lord's Supper this Maundy Thursday evening. Here are the lyrics & translation:
  • "Pie Jesu" (Lord, have mercy)
  • "Qui tollis peccata mundi" (You who take away the sins of the world)
  • "Dona eis requiem" (Grant them peace)
  • "Agnus Dei" (Lamb of God)
  • "Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem" (Peace everlasting, everlasting)
  • "My peace I give you" Jesus says, even in the midst of our world's chaos.
