Just to immortalize my incompetence, this is the chant I goofed up today at mass.
I could not sleep last night and so I got in late to church. It was lucky I got there at all! I just rolled out of bed and went in. With bedhead! This was one of those mornings when you thank God for mantillas. But anyway I missed the choir rehearsal. And I goofed up this beautiful chant.
Today was the feast of the Precious Blood. You would not know that if you are not a Rad-Trad as I am. Rad-Trad stands for radical traditionalist.
When I wandered in -- late, as I said -- I saw the priest in his red vestments and I thought, this must be a big feast day. As indeed it was.
When I was a kid there was a Precious Blood school and we always giggled about it. Some kid you knew would be a student at Precious Blood. And the Christ the King -- that was the school I went to, Christ the King -- the Christ the King Badgers would play the basketball team from Precious Blood.
That and Fourteen Holy Helpers were the schools we giggled about.
We did not want to be irreverent! OK, well, sure, we did. But still, the names were just so awkward.
There is nothing awkward though about that chant. Aside from my uneducated singing today, of course.
That chant is beautiful!
