St. Augustine said that when we sing sacred music, we pray twice. This post is meant as a brief collection of those "double-prayer" hymns for our new Holy Father. Here's the first link to one such song, for Pope Francis.

(DISCLAIMER: I don't pretend to understand all of these languages in these prayer-songs which I found by searching in "youtube". They all seem like beautiful sacred music that reflects what they're called on youtube, but if somebody who knows these languages finds that I've inadvertently included something here that is not really appropriate for this kind of post, please let the Moderater know to have that link removed. Thanks.)
(And, just as a quick added bonus, our Assistant Pastor - who celebrated Mass today - is from Nigeria, and he told us that the patron saint of Nigeria is St. Patrick. With that in mind, Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!)
| Please enjoy this song too! ===> | When Irish Eyes are Smiling - Bing Crosby (1939) |
Is that sort of a comment (#3) allowed on a Caucus thread?
Yes, and St. Patrick was neither born Irish, nor is he a canonized saint. Actually, he is more Protestant than Catholic.
Carry on...
Thanks for your kindness, and thanks for the Rosary (plus) link.
That really was a great penance instruction, applying your penance towards another worthy goal too (in addition to just your own penance).
Well, regarding one of those points, have you ever read this counter view? Was St. Patrick Catholic? By James Akin
Alongside St. Patrick, Nigerians also hold Our Blessed Mother Mary as their Patron Saint as well. (I think they're adequately covered when it comes to Patron Saints.) :-)
Thanks for that music link. That music was beautiful.
You think that "The Lord's Prayer" (The "Our Father") that Jesus Christ taught to His Apostles and to all of us, as the perfect way for all of us to pray to God the Father, is somehow related to a goofy, misguided kids' song tribute to Obama?

HABEMUS PAPAM!!! (Live Thread)
When we pray for the Pope's Holy intentions, we usually pray the "Our Father", "Hail Mary", and "Glory Be", and I thought it would be a good idea to find a bunch of musical versions of those prayers to enhance them sometimes, and share those links with everyone.
I also thought it would be good to list video or audio versions of other prayers for the new Pope as well, such as audio/video Rosaries, etc.
Anyway, Salvation, thanks again for all the magnificent work you put into all these various things on FR. It is greatly appreciated!
