Dies Irae, Dies Illa - Monks of the Abbey of St Maurice.

Francis1930 on Jan 26, 2009 The monks sing the seqeuence of the Dies Irae, which is traditionally said or sung for a Requiem Mass between the Epistle and gradual and before the reading of the Holy Gospel in the Traditional Catholic Mass of all ages. This beautiful sequence was removed from the Requiem Mass after Vatican II 1962 - 1964.

@Marcus - Indeed that man! A very dear friend of mine did just that and she was NOT enamoured with the new liturgy OR the old one (post 1910). Therefore, she went straight to the 1560 Instruction to the Roman Missal regarding the Christian burial and listed all without compromise.

@Marcus - Indeed that man! A very dear friend of mine did just that and she was NOT enamoured with the new liturgy OR the old one (post 1910). Therefore, she went straight to the 1560 Instruction to the Roman Missal regarding the Christian burial and listed all without compromise.

Needless to say, we had the full proper, the ordinary and the sermon in Latin - Mass was AFTER the internment 'in earth' of the body. In addition to this all the Latin prayers at the home and processions to and from the home; then those to and from the Church and all the responsories, and hymns. All in gregorian chant and in Latin. It was a history lesson in liturgical praxis! Four hours of liturgy, but stunningly beautiful and absolutely fascinating!

✍️ It is in my written instructions for my Funeral Mass that the Dies Ires shall be sung in Latin and English.
It is a good thing to choose your hymns now before "The Gospel According to Oprah" is proclaimed at your Funeral Mass.More

Ira, I am familiar with the case. I have family out there who upon hearing of this sermon, got quite angry saying, "these old 'has-beens' need to get with the modern church". To which I replied, "if they did we would have NO church". They were quite silient. 😎

Rev. Donat Gionet, 85, gave the sermon at the Roman Catholic church in Saint-Léolin while replacing the regular parish priest late last month.
He stands by the comments he made in Saint-Léolin, a village of about 730 people located about 50 kilometres east of Bathurst.
Reached in Caraquet on Wednesday, Gionet declined an interview but did provide a written statement.
In a letter written in French that he provided to the Telegraph-Journal, Gionet stated the sermon in question was about the destruction of the Church and the need to seek forgiveness for past sins:
"I said: 'Today, it is we Catholics who are destroying our Catholic Church. We need only look at the number of abortions among Catholics, look at the homosexuals, and ourselves.' (That's when I pointed at my chest - through that action I wanted to say, we the priests) and I continued saying: We are destroying our Church ourselves. And that's when I said that those were the words expressed by Pope John Paul II. At that point, in the St-Léolin church only, I added: 'We can add to that the practice of watching gay parades, we are encouraging this evil' ... What would you think of someone who seeing what was happening on (Sept.) 11, 2001, the crumbling of the towers, had begun clapping? We must not encourage evil, whatever form it takes."
Bishop Valéry Vienneau has revoked Gionet's rights to serve mass across the Diocese of Bathurst, a decision welcomed by Joseph Lanteigne, the openly gay mayor of Saint-Léolin.
"The action taken by the diocese is good and I know it isn't easy for the diocese."
Since the incident, Gionet has quit his position on the Saint-Léolin parish's pastoral committee.
Rev. Wesley Wade, vicar general of the Diocese of Bathurst, said Gionet's teachings don't meet the diocese's goal of following Christ's example of loving unconditionally.
"We have to respect people on their own journey," Wade said.
"The first message of Christ was to reveal to us a loving father and a merciful father and that we are all called to be his children and that we are all loved unconditionally by Him."
While the Church gets criticized as a judgmental institution, Wade said the reality is "it's full of compassion."
In a letter to parishioners earlier this week, Vienneau said Gionet had been pulled from active ministry.
At a meeting last week, Gionet told Vienneau that he had no plans to change or temper his comments.
Gionet also said, as a priest, he has a duty to encourage those who aren't living their lives according to Catholic teachings to mend their ways.

Ira, good afternoon dear! 🤗 The Missal of 2008 has continued the recent tradition of excluding the "Dies Irae" from the Requiem Mass. The primary reason is that it "no longer speaks to a Faith which offers consolation to the bereaved". However, this, like the disappearance of Hell and the Devil from Sermons and the 'dumbing-down' of the theology of Hell and demons (demonology), has lead to people …More
Ira, good afternoon dear! 🤗 The Missal of 2008 has continued the recent tradition of excluding the "Dies Irae" from the Requiem Mass. The primary reason is that it "no longer speaks to a Faith which offers consolation to the bereaved". However, this, like the disappearance of Hell and the Devil from Sermons and the 'dumbing-down' of the theology of Hell and demons (demonology), has lead to people living life as if they were already 'saved'. That is to say, without a sense of consequences in eternity for actions done on this side of eternity.

Therefore, I think that this most beautiful poem (inspired from the Greek Sybiline Myths) has a definite place in the Requiem Mass. Some priests do still read it though, however, someone should write a chant for it in the Vernacular (so that people could understand its meaning and beauty therein).

Thanks for the post! 😇 🤗
