At the Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday evening, the Cantor sang the Litany of the Saints before the baptisms. This was the most moving of songs that I have heard in a long time. The richness and meaning was so humbling. I noticed that I was not the only one with tears. Has this happened to any of you with this or any other prayer that is put to song?
 
It is the most beautiful chant that I know from the Church as well!
 
We sing this for the catechumens and the congregation at large also. It is a very meditative song. We have two cantors intone the names of saints and the choir chants “pray for us”. Beautiful. And it’s a joy to sing it.

We always celebrate Baptism during Mass and the Liturgy of the Saints is chanted each time supposing I have to do it myself because the choir is unavailable. The new Pastor was more than a little pleasantly surprised by this.
 
Please post anything on liturgy in Liturgy & Sacraments

Thank You
