I wasn't able to watch the whole thing, but this brought a tear to my eye on the 10th anniversary of my own tonsure. God bless you seminarians and brothers!

10:14... hear that 32 foot stop from the organ! Glorious.

Deus é imensamente louvado na FSSPX, o resto de Israel

[@justjacqueline2004]

Yet I am condemned as a Roman Catholic for wanting to have this service for me and my family,in fact a mortal sin.

[@angelo8424]

Does anyone know the name of what they were singing at the beginning? Sublime!

"Lumen ad revelationem gentium" (A light unto the revelation of the Gentiles) is the name of the hymn. It is in the Liber Usualis and is prescribed for the candle ceremony/Mass of February 2nd. The verses that accompany it are the "Nunc dimittis" of the prophet Simeon: "Now, O Lord, thou canst dismiss Thy servant according to Thy word in peace; For my eyes have seen Thy salvation which Thou hast prepared before the face of all of Thy people; A light unto the revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of Thy people, Israel."

Are the bells real? Or is that an effect produced by the organ. Respectfully
