It struck me that the juxtaposition of Isaiah and the Magnificat means that when Jesus repeats the Isaiah text in Luke 4 he has been brought up by his mother to know these things - he is, in some ways, carrying out his mother's business.

The University Choir had also sung at the Remembrance day service on Friday contributing Abide with meand the round Dona nobis pacem.

The psalm setting was originally written in 2002 when Cardinal Arinze came to Sunday Mass. I am not sure whether it was to his taste -it was written to involve both music groups.

We had a 50 year reunion group in this morning (so a little older than my childhood memories) and their organiser always requests Ave Maris Stella for the end of Mass and we always suggest that it sung around the icon of Mary given to the University by Benedict XVI as way of having a focus for the hymn and connecting old and new.
