PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS ~ WITH RICHARD ROHR
"Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the baby Jesus." He asks listeners to focus expectations and anticipation on "the adult Christ, the cosmic Christ," the Lord who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves to surrender. This is the Jesus whom we invite to come into our hearts at Christmas and throughout our lives. Talk one: WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? Talk two: HOW DO WE WAIT? Two compact discs~ 2 hours (approx.) with tracks every 4-6 minutes for easy bookmarking.

THE MASS OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
"Let Me Bring Love"
Composed, conducted and produced by Philip Green. Sung by the Cork Children's Choir (110 strong). Celebrant Canon Sydney McEwan, Soloist Bernadette Greevy. Introit: "Suffer Little Children" Celebrant and Choir. Kyrie: Choir. Gloria: Choir. Credo Choir. Sanctus/Benedictus Choir. Pater Noster: "Our Father" Choir. Agnus Dei Choir. Communion Hymn: "St. Francis Prayer" Contralto and Choir. Dismissal and Reprise: Celebrant and Choir.
The Choir (110 children) was selected from nine schools in the City of Cork by Composer Philip Green. After a few rehearsals he was genuinely startled at the lovely blending of the children's voices that he decided to rewrite "The Lord's Prayer" to fit the achingly tender and humbling mood being created by his new "recording artists." Thus, "The Lord's Prayer" on this recording is universally considered to be one of the most simplistically beautiful creations of all his works.
