We were going to do, and it made it to the hymn board, Like a child rests at Communion but instead we did the Grancini. This was primarily for musical reasons - the right singers in the right place. This morning was also the first time that our new Chaplain, Fr Peter Newby, came to the morning Mass.

The phrase of St Augustine's 'Far too late have I begun to love you…' was mentioned a number of times in the homily. Looking at my colleagues and whispering 'we know a song about that…' I discretely went to the music cupboard during the Creed and returned with copies of Oomen's 'For Peace' which use the phrase as a refrain. It replaced 'We walk by faith' and I am not sure if it was noticed.

I suspect that the musical connections of the first hymn was lost on most people - in England it was sung to a text about Dives and Lazarus, today's Gospel. Actually the text had a number of resounances with the Gospel with references to rest and water.

We discussed before Mass whether it would have been suitable to sing a setting of the 'in Paradisum' — et cum Lazaro, but decided that it would work/make sense.

A advantage of this blog is the record what has and hasn't been done and when. I generally have a sense of what has been done before - so I was aware that we have not used the first hymn before, whereas the Lucan Beatitudes I knew we had done before but maybe at what point this year.
