Morning Song – I Can Go To God In Prayer

The internet is a wild and wonder-filled place. This video comes to us courtesy of the combined talents of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and Msgr. Charles Pope, pastor of Holy Comforter-St. Cyprian Church in Washington, DC. It’s an uplifting and almost unimaginably eclectic combination of images—marrying Msgr. Pope’s current pastoral work with his previous experiences as a church musician and computer systems analyst.

sorry, could you repost that youtube link, which doesn’t seem to have survived cyberspace very well? Thanks.
In brief, thank you very much. You made my day.
Nice to hear such joy and faith. But I would have appreciated it more had one of the two pictures of Mass had the priest facing the people. Such masses can be quite joyful.
In addition, a picture of a nun or group of sisters in lay clothing praying would have presented a fuller interpretation of our church. I experienced such a group at a Mass for the jubilarians of a religious community yesterday. It was a truly joyful liturgy.
Many thanks for the reposting. Wonderful video.
What Helen said. The music was fantastic. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear that kind of joy and enthusiasm in most Catholic churches?
This is terrific!
Helen — You wrote, “In addition, a picture of a nun or group of sisters in lay clothing praying would have presented a fuller interpretation of our church.” I haven’t watched the video, but maybe there WERE nuns in lay clothing, only they couldn’t be recognized as such, because they were in lay clothing. ;) (I’m being slightly tongue-in-cheek here.)
It reminds me of a Leno joke from several years back; to paraphrase: — “People complained that they saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but didn’t see any tigers or dragons — well, gee, maybe that’s because they were CROUCHING and HIDDEN!” ;)
