As often as we’ve all heard this song, I doubt anyone has heard “The Prayer” performed like this — see if you can spot some of the familiar faces (including The Priests!) adding their voices to this soaring rendition.  And you can find out more about this recording, and how to get a copy, right here.

Deacon Mike Talbot has the scoop: 10 men today were ordained as Permanent Deacons for the Archdiocese of New Orleans. This group of men was formally selected on the day the evacuation of New Orleans began as Hurricane Katrina approached. The immediate aftermath of the storm for this class would be

Gaudete! And let's break out a carol or two...
"Gesu Bambino," anyone? This is one of my favorites, and nobody does it better than these gals: Kathleen Battle and Frederica von Staade. Enjoy.

A worthwhile cause and a lovely rendition. However, while watching and listening to this song, I couldn’t keep the voice of angels from my memory. ;-)

If this is how lovely human voices sound on earth, can you imagine the Heavenly Choir? This is what our voices are meant to sound like on earth–to make peace and loveliness, not hatred and war. Lord, give us the grace to live as you instruct us. Amen.

It’s really your superhuman determination. I thank you whole heartily for being besides Haiti on that horrible moment.
I think at this moment HAITI really needs help to be rebuild.Outgoing Haitian President René Préval has set the presidential elections for Nov. 28, 2010.
According to ma justification,
Charles Henri Baker(born June 3, 1955) should be under consideration as a deserving personality,
who can supply the best support to this contribution.
Thank you.
