Everyone has a wish list, and mine is for sacred, uplifting music that serves to relax as well as to lift the heart and mind to God in prayer. (Maybe if I put my list in writing, I will be more inclined to follow through on completing it). These selections are recommendations of Tom in Vegas. Remember him?
When you click on these links, you can listen to sample tracks. Some of them are really beautiful. I think my favourite is The Origin of Fire, followed by Kanon Pokajanen
Hildegard von Bingen: Laudes de Sainte Ursule
The Complete Hildegard von Bingen, Volume Two
The Origin of Fire: Music and Visions of Hildegard von Bingen
Kanon Pokajanen
Arvo Pärt: Berliner Messe; Magnificat; Summa
Da Pacem
Jubilee 2000 : 2000 years of sacred music
So if you are looking to add to your music library, try these selections.

About Me
- paramedicgirl
- A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith. And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Consecrated Hands
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

Regina, thanks for stopping by. You have a nice blog!
Music so heals and lifts the soul and the more it brings us to God the better.
I just discovered this on Youtube and I think you'll enjoy it. It's the Angelus sung in Latin and these gentlemen are incredible. I find it so soothing. Chanticleer - Ave Maria (Angelus Domini) [Biebl]

I love your new header. You sure have a gift for finding beautiful pictures.
Elizabeth :)
Listening to it now, Elizabeth. Thanks for the link. They do have beautiful harmony.
In a few days, I will post my collection of Assumption pictures for all to enjoy.
my wish list is for all Catholic Churches world wide to have the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass entirely in Latin. that was the way it was for over a thousand years, and that's the way it should be all the time. it should never have changed. and, i'd like to see all altars return to the high altar and not the table you see out front. and all women wearing properly modest clothing to Mass, and no shorts, no sleeveless shirts, etc. and cover your head! respect God, and do not make a public display of wearign tacky clothing to Mass. (short shorts, revealing tops, jeans, etc)
turn off your cell phone, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is not about you or your social friends, its about God, nor you. kneel for Holy Communion unless you are physically not capable of doing so.
these and so much more are my wishes. but alas, not everyone practices modesty:( they think its all about them, when in fact its about God not man. think about that modernists next time you go to Mass. think about Jesus instead of yourself. its not a fashion show nor is it a place to show contempt for God by using it as your own living room to chat to whomever you want during Mass, and blabbing on the phone. Respect God and forget yourself.
