We discuss the Psalms of Peres Joseph Gelineau, SJ (left), and Lucien Deiss, C.S.Sp. (right).

Introduction and the evolution of Faith of our Fathers

Today's installment of The Christus Vincit Wish List takes us through the N and O sections of the OCP search engines, expanding our list of songs from those search engines that we wish would appear in the Music Issue.

Shamus opens the show up before I wake up. However, once I finally wake up, we have a brief session of prayer for the 2,996 victims of the infamous terrorist attacks on U.S. soil on September 11, 2001.

More tweaking with the new mic.Today we expand our wish list, which takes us through the J, K, L, and M sections of the OCP search engines, expanding our list of songs from those search engines that we wish would appear in the Music Issue. (Jesus, Thou Divine Companion is on this list, folks!)

I Sing the Mighty Pow'r of God (with organ to the tune Ellacombe)

Continuing where we left off two weeks ago. 21 pieces of music added from the search engines of OCP, combing sections H and I of their "Song search" engine.

Today's show is part of the Assumption Podcast Carnival at Disciples with Microphones. Several DwM podcasters will be taking part in this carnival, including:

Today we continue with The Christus Vincit Wish List, thirty-two additional songs, covering the D, E, F, and G sections of the OCP search indices.

We've added two new features, one regular, called Feasts for the Week, and one rotating (as need arises), called Multiple Choice (a comic segment).

We've also ditched the Christus Vincit Weatherman, and brought back (for this week at least anyways) Christus Vincit Sports.

Note: Next continuation of the Christus Vincit Wish List will be aired in two weeks. Next week, as part of a Carnivale with Disciples with Microphones, our feature topic will be on Music for Assumption. Other podcasters who will present Assumption-themed features for the "Carnivale" will include (but not be limited to) Fr. Seraphim Beshoner, Susan Bailey, and George Leite. Should be really good!

We also talk about musical settings of the Prayer (Suscipe) of Saint Ignatius of Loyola (his feast day is today), namely Prayer of Self-Offering by Alexander Peloquin, from his tribute CD, Radiating Christ, performed by the Gregorian Concert Choir, directed by Fr. Anthony Mancini.

Allegro from the (Georg Philip) Telemann Sonata in F Minor, played by teen trombonist Josh Jacobson, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network. Josh also has a podcast, called Just Joshin'.

Shamus the Christus Vincit Weatherman once again makes off like he's the grand weather maker, promising thunderboomers, ka-blammies, and even a 100-degree day.

Closing notes include a brief note about Poncho Ladies, and a brainstorm for an all-Catholic version of the Mystery Worshipper.
Parody Sneak Preview:Big Sibling

Today we start a new series: The Christus Vincit Wish List, where we explore music available via search in the OCP (Oregon Catholic Press) Website that should have hit the famous (or infamous) Music Issue. In today's show, we cover the first 24 pieces, covering the A and B sections of the search indices.

She even teases Shamus with it toward the end of the show.

Starting with today's show, our new upload night will be Mondays. I actually have more time to get things going.

- Today we describe the organs of three Catholic Churches in my alma mater town of Cumberland, RI. We also discover that Shamus is "loco in the cabesa".

Sorry this podcast is a day late. It was actually recorded yesterday, so everything will be as if yesterday (Sunday May 7) was today. The problem was that the podcast host's server crashed, and they're on a new server as of today. Worse, ALL my episodes were lost. The bright side is that they're all on my hard drive. So I'm re-uploading all of them one by one. It may take a while to get them all up, but they'll get there. Please bear with us.

Next Sunday is Mother's Day. So next week's show may also be a day late so the kids and I can spend the day with my wife.

Above are the pictures in relation to this segment - you'll need to listen and look for the "full effect"! BTW, I have no clue what churches the Good and Bad tabernacles shown here come from.

- Here we chat about hymns that are actually part of larger hymns (e.g., Tantum Ergo is the tail end of Pange Lingua). We also mention multiple names of the Sunday in the Easter Octave (e.g., Divine Mercy Sunday - image pictured left), and Shamus starts the "Low Sunday Limbo". Can you say, "Shamus go BOOM?!"
