#MarchIntoEaster at the American Cathedral: Meditation for Holy Tuesday by Harriet Riviere

For our #MarchIntoEaster, we offer you a short musical meditation from our Director of Music, Canon Zach Ullery, on the 'Greatest Love Story' sung (live) by the Men of the American Cathedral Choir.

Seigneur, je vous en prie from Quatre petites prières de saint François d'Assise. Francis Poulenc(1899-1963).

"Lord, I beg Thee, let the burning and gentle force of Thy love pervade my soul and withdraw it from all that is beneath Heaven, that I might die through love of Thy love, since Thou didst deign to die through love of my love.  [text, Saint Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)]
 
"Seigneur, je vous en prie
Seigneur, je vous en prie,
que la force brûlante et douce de votre amour
absorbe mon âme
et la retire de tout ce qui est sous le ciel.
Afin que je meure par amour de votre amour,
puisque vous avez daigné mourir par amour de mon amour."

Poulenc's "Seigneur, je vous en prie" by the Men of the American Cathedral Choir

This is the terrible day we call Good, the day on which Jesus died. For our #MarchIntoEaster, Dean Lucinda Laird speaks on the significance of Good Friday.
