The end of an era, of sorts: this was the first time in at least seventeen years that we didn’t sing A new commandment for the Gospel Acclamation. It was a last musical trace of the family-oriented celebration we had in Bishop Kelly’s time. For a few years we were accompanied in this celebration by “music group” resources (guitar, piano, flute and the like), and it was a distinctive occasion, even a moving one, in our annual musical calendar. I’d like to think we haven’t lost touch with that part of our musical repertoire. A new commandment will be back before long, anyway.
