Some of you will remember Fr. Cizcek from the Colloquium. Look at this:
What is going to strike most of us is the choice of music in this video. I was puzzled at first. I am liking it more and more and here’s why: This is a video. It is a popular medium. It is not the Mass itself. If it were Mass, I don’t think Father would have allowed this pop, Euro sound. Coupling this music with beautiful shots of the priest, his actions, and the altar is startling and edgy and exciting. That’s what videos are supposed to be.
What do you think?
Oh I think you are right. This is really great. Very dramatic and inspiring. Oddly, the music actually suggests some compatibility with chant – like an outsider interpreting what is going on inside. It is very inviting.
The young priest is impressive. I'd trade him in a new york minute for the burlap clad, glad handing, make it up as you go along buffoon in my parish
The care he takes in his movements really stood out to me. Beautiful.
