The first time I heard his arrangement of this was during Pope Benedict XVI's apostolic visit last year, from the youth gathering (wasn't there ... heard it on the radio), and yet again last night at our local Easter Vigil. It's one of those Holy Spirit moments that touches you so deeply, that it brings tears to my eyes.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for posting this on your blog!! God bless you.Catholic guy in Mt.

Sometimes we don't know how to pray so it just seemed right to ask others to pray for me.
