[Mr. K]

it was beautiful and haunting to hear that live

[NYer]

Thank you for posting these! *Sancte Maximiliane* I thought I heard this and now it is confirmed.

In this photo made available by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Archbishop Stanislaw Dsiwisz, right, places a white veil over the face of late Pope John Paul II as Archbishop Piero Marini looks on, prior to closing the coffin for burial in the grottos beneath St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican, Friday, April 8, 2005. The grottos form a cramped underground cemetery beneath St. Peter's Basilica where pontiffs throughout the ages, royals and even an emperor have been laid to rest.(AP Photo/Osservatore Romano, ho)

[ELS]

That explains why I couldn't follow it in my TLM missal. Thank you for posting it.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

You are certainly right...what a wonderful, sad, amazing and uplifting thing it was to listen to it...

[ELS]

Thank you for posting that photo.

Archbishop Stanislaw Dsiwisz

My heart goes out to him. You could see his deep sorrow on his face today. Yesterday on EWTN, Raymond Arroyo had Joan Lewis on his show and she said when the Pope's body was in the Sala Clementina that at one point Arch. Dsiwisz gave the Pope a kiss which reduced most of the people in the room to tears.

[murphE]

[sigh]

[Bombardier]

Make him a Saint immediately! (if the little Italian I know didn't fail me)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

If was the old, old days, when saints became saints by proclamation of the faithful, he would have been made one during the funeral, I suspect...John Paul the Great, pray for us, the church, the coming conclave as we pray for you!

[dangus]

My best shot at translations:

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro eo.
Saint (Holy) Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Omnus Sancte Angeli, orate pro eo
All the Holy Angels, pray for us.
Omnes Sancti Patriarchæ et Prophetæ, orate pro eo
All the Holy Fathers (Patriarchs [of Israel]) and Prophets, pray for us
Omnes Sancti Pontifices Romani
All the Roman Bridge-builders (Popes)
Ioseph=Joseph
Ioannes Baptiste = John the Baptist
Matthae=Mathew
Mattia=Matthias
Luca=Luke
Marce=Mark
Leo Magne=Pope St. Leo the Great
Gregory Magne=Pope St. Gregory the Great
Carole = Charles

The new one:
Sancta Maria Faustina Kowalska
Saint Faustina, a Polish nun whom John Paul canonized, and who pressed the Church to recognize the Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday. The Pope died during the vigil of this Feast Day

Prayer:
God, reward with life your faithful servant and priest, our father John Paul II, whom [through?] Peter [you?] established as successor and your church’s shepherd, your grace and compassion your confident worship dispense on Earth [I’m having trouble with that syntax] may remain your eternal delight in Heaven. Through Christ, our Lord. Let it be.


(Sorry, I learned Latin through hymns and biology. I never studied grammar.)

[Salvation]

BTTT! I listened closely last night/this morning and caught these differences also.

[ex 98C MI Dude]

I really have to learn Latin. I came up under the NO mass, not the Tridentine.

[Pyro7480]

You've got FR mail.

[FormerNavyBrat]

bump

[animoveritas]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I don't mean to nitpick, just one point.

I'm not a Latin scholar either, but "ora pro eo" is pray for him. If it weren't in the context of a funeral I believe the common ora pro nobis (pray for us) is the propoer response.

[dangus]

I was practically begging for correction. But that's one I should have gotten. It just is so familiar to say pray for us, that it never hit me that it wasn't "nobis," not "eo."

[dangus]

Also: Iacobe is, oddly, "James."

Iacobe -> Jacobus -> Jac'bus -> Jamus -> James.

The transfer from Jac'bus to Jamus makes more sense once you mouth it.

[Diva]

"Pro Eo" is "for him."

[NYer]

I really have to learn Latin. I came up under the NO mass, not the Tridentine.

It may surprise you to learn that this was a NO Mass and not a Tridentine one. It is how Vatican Council II described the liturgy and it is celebrated daily on EWTN.

The Indult Tridentine liturgy is quite different.

[Diva]

Yes you are right animoveritas. Eo is the m, ablative of the pronoun Is, Ea, Id. He, she, it.

[NYer]

she said when the Pope's body was in the Sala Clementina that at one point Arch. Dsiwisz gave the Pope a kiss which reduced most of the people in the room to tears.

Well that just did it for me ... my heart truly aches for him.

[NYer]

[tjwmason]

The Indult Tridentine liturgy is quite different.

Incredibly different, to say the very least.

[dangus]

Wow. This is the seventh time I've been corrected by mail or by postings. Amazing, since I IMMEDIATELY acknowledged my error to Aminoveritas.

[dangus]

Thanks.

[chaddnyc]

Here's the magic question. Can anyone tell me where I can find the "Litany of the saints" in the same format from the funeral on Audio? I'm not sure if the vatican choir sung it, and if they have a CD.

Thanks,

[Okies love Dubya 2]

Bumping because I would like to know too!

[Diva]

Don't take it personally these threads can move fast sometimes.

[Siobhan]

Great picture and great tag line!!!

[Siobhan]

This was the first time it was sung with these saints in this fashion, but the tone used was the normal tone for the Litany of the Saints. I feel certain you would find a recording of it in a Gregorian chant series of some kind.

[Jeff Chandler]

My wife walked into the computer room to catch her husband up at 3AM viewing (horrors!) the funeral mass for John Paul the Great.

The Litany of the Saints was haunting, absolutely beautiful.

[kima]

I felt so much at peace when I heard the Litany of Saints, it was so beautiful.

thank you

Hello chaddnyc.

The New litany of Saints sung in Latin can rarely be found in the Internet. Tell you what, I've recorded the funeral of Pope John Paul II on video tape. I have extracted the Audio of Litany of Saints into my computer. If you want it, just write to me at amazing_race83@yahoo.com. The file is quite big, but I've resampled it so that it will fit into any e-mail account. The audio is more than 18 minutes long.

God Bless.

[arana7]

Did you ever obtain the Litany of the Saints audio from the Pope's funeral? If so, I would like to know where you obtained the same. I would love to have it and have not been able to find it.

[chantcd_com]

You can get the Litany of the Saints in Latin here:

http://www.chantcd.com

It's on Chant Compendium 3 ($13 plus shipping)

Matthew

[arana7]

Thank you for referring me to the ChantCd for the Litany of the Saints. I would still like to have the actual Litany of the Saints from the Pope's funeral. Does anyone know where I can obtain the same? The person in this post who has the audio of the same has not responded to my request. Thank you.

[natalia]

I found the recording! I searched ALL OVER THE NET and this is the only place you can find the recording. There are two versions at this site.. Just thought I would share.

[ConservativeLawyer]

Thanks for that link! FreeRepublic is an amazing resource!

[amazing_race83]

The Litany of Saints can be found in this website too. You can find both Litany sung during Procession of JP II's body to St. Peter Basilica and the one at the funeral.

http://bacon.umcs.lublin.pl/~marekh/Papiez/

Look for files:

Litania.do.wszystkich.swietych-przeniesienie.ciala.mp3
Litania.do.wszystkich.swietych-pogrzeb.mp3


This website also contains many types of media, all about Pope John Paul II. But there's a catch here, this website is written in Polish. But you can click on every content. Very nice.

[ConservativeLawyer]

Thank you.

[jtplastic]

I have a perfect MP3 file of Jon Paul's Funeral Litany of Saints. If anyone wants it you can email me at jtplastic@yahoo.com.

[jtplastic]

If you want to download yourself I found it after a day long search of the internet at the following:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II
It is near the bottom of the page under the heading External Links. It will send you to some download site that wants you to signup for a membership but will give one free download with out the membership. This is how I got it and it worked very nicely.

[sweetlaylas]

I’m sure you already have it by now, but just in case you can find the litany and the video of the Funeral of Pope John Paul 11 ..it’s sung and it’s beautiful . I put it up on my website if you want to find it quickly www.sweetlaylas.com
