This is how Veni Creator Spiritu (Come Holy Spirit) is supposed to sound.  No drums.  No guitars.  No bad “soloist.”  Practicing happened….

Here are a couple that I hadn’t seen before.  There are many more making the rounds on Catholic blogs.

And finally, this one. The most interesting thing about this one is the probable age of the maker. Have a look.  Do you think this person is in their 60s or 70s?   In fact, most of the ones who are the most eager for liturgical reform are the young.

HAPPY EASTER!
