Amusements: October 2004 Archives
An amusing item from sacredcowburgers.com.
I believe this one was less well known, but it was sung to stringed instruments with a loping country rhythm on the chor-- I mean, antiphon.
XXV. Si Deus Pro Nobis
Antiphona:
Si Deus pro nobis
contra potest quis?
Liberavit nos Dei spiritus.
(idem)
Versus:
Scio in mundo posse nil
nos separare ab Deo.
Capere potest ab amore
nil nos effuso in Jesu.
Nec mortem scio nec ac vitam
amore Dei capturum.
While getting rid of some computer junk at home yesterday, I found a couple of antique floppy diskettes: they were from 1993. One of them contained the image of a document written in Rome, a collection of primitive hymns and antiphons, all in Latin of course.
It bears the title Gloria Lausque, which in English is rendered "Glory and Praise". Just imagine what these hymns must have sounded like in the catacombs! (Each of the hymns is marked with a numeral for some reason.)
I. Abba! Pater!Antiphona:
Abba, abba Pater,
tu es nos figulus
Argilla sumus
et opus tuum.Versus:
Forma, forma et finge nos
in tui imaginem
filii Jesu, filii Jesu.Versus ultimus:
Gloria, gloria lausque
tibi in saecula
saeculorum Amen
saeculorum Amen.Abba!
I posted another work attributed to the same author on this site last year.
I just can't resist. Found this photo on Drudge this morning. It looks like Kerry and his aids are searching far and wide for his posterior.
Beware parishioners with cameras!
