Oh! I wish I could hear it.

Our Music Director thinks that The Lord’s Prayer needs to be sung at EVERY Mass. Not so.

It’s supposed to be said at most Masses.

I would have to disagree (we are talking about Sunday Masses here). We are called to sing the Mass not sing at the Mass. The normative Sunday Mass should be the Missa Cantata or Sung Mass at which the whole Mass should be sung. Unfortunately we have become used to Low Mass or Recited Mass at which we add a few hymns to spice it up. We are robbing ourselves of the experience of a full liturgy. It is my hope that with this new Missal we can reclaim our liturgical heritage and move back to the historical norm of a fully chanted Mass.
