Etc.'' I see your point now, David. I never pay as much attention to the sung word as to the written word. However politically incorrect since the Second Vatican Concil, the words still are true: the jews are blind to the messianic prophecies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-36252555679271620272011-12-26T15:46:18.847+00:002011-12-26T15:46:18.847+00:00Iuventutem London, I went to the church of Our Lad...Iuventutem London, I went to the church of Our Lady of the Rosary at Blackfen for Mass at Midnight.Patrick Sheridanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995907911415177074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-35401654219923501392011-12-25T22:15:41.997+00:002011-12-25T22:15:41.997+00:00"Esaias cecinit,

I own a fantastic book written in italian, by a journalist, an agnostic, who set out to investigate the claim that Jesus is God. In his book, he takes into account not only the prophecie of the hebrew prophets, but also those of the Sybil and of other Roman seers, those of the ancient Greek philosophers and of several other ancient peoples. It seems that the whole world was longing for the Saviour, not only the jews. That the original promise of His future birth was never forgotten by mankind, and, as a seminal proto-revelation was to be found in their writings, if one only looked. At the end of his research, the author had been thoroughly convinced by the evidence, and became a believer in the Incarnation of God: Jesus Christ. I have forgotten the book's title and the name of its author, but i do have the book somewhere here at home, and shall now try to find it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-63247507926417115702011-12-25T21:05:08.152+00:002011-12-25T21:05:08.152+00:00I've heard Laetabundus sung by the schola at M...I've heard Laetabundus sung by the schola at Mass, not as a Sequentia, of course, but as an hymn to fill up empty space.
