As an adjunct to what James Burgess said in today’s video post, we have the incredible music of Morten Lauridsen to remind us of the Eternal Light that is ONE with all Suns in the known Universes. Put your headphones and let this wash over you.
May it open your heart, heal your fear and cynicism, bring the light of faith to your trauma to release it all knowing that we can ALL be fully healed in every way. Let Go and Let God show you your OWN LIGHT. Forgive yourself and forgive others to be free.
Just mute and skip the ads. YouTube…
LUX AETERNA – MORTEN LAURIDSEN
TEXT & TRANSLATION
Rest eternal grant them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.
You are praised, God, in Zion,
And homage will be paid to you
in Jerusalem:
Hear my prayer,
To you all flesh will come.
Rest eternal grant them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.
Thou, having delivered mankind,
did not disdain the Virgin’s womb.
Thou overcame the sting of death
and opened to believers the kingdom of heaven.
A light has risen in the darkness for the upright.
Have mercy on us, O Lord,
have mercy on us.
Let thy mercy be upon us, O Lord,
for we have hoped in thee.
In thee, O Lord, I have trusted:
let me never be confounded.
O Nata Lux
O born light of light,
Jesus redeemer of the world,
mercifully deem worthy and accept
praises and prayers from your supplicants.
Who once was clothed in the flesh
for those who are lost.
Allow us to become members of
your holy body.
Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Come, Holy Spirit,
And send from heaven
Your ray of light.
Come, Father of the poor,
Come, giver of gifts,
Come, light of hearts.
The best of Consolers,
Sweet guest of the soul,
Sweet refreshment.
In labor, thou art rest,
In heat, thou art the tempering,
In grief, thou art the consolation.
O light most blessed,
Fill the inmost heart
Of all thy faithful.
Without your grace,
There is nothing in us,
Nothing that is not harmful.
Cleanse what is dirty,
Moisten what is dry,
Heal what is hurt.
Flex what is rigid,
Heat what is frigid,
Correct what goes astray.
Grant to thy faithful,
Those that trust in thee,
Thy sacred seven-fold gifts.
Grant the reward of virtue,
Grant the deliverance of salvation,
Grant joy everlasting.
Agnus Dei – Lux Aeterna
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them rest forever.
May eternal light shine on them, Lord,
as with your saints in eternity,
because you are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them,
Alleluia. Amen.
