An Election Day Thought & Chant

“It is a good sign in a nation when things are done badly. It shows that all the people are doing them. And it is bad sign in a nation when such things are done very well, for it shows that only a few experts and eccentrics are doing them, and that the nation is merely looking on.” – G.K. Chesterton; “Patriotism and Sport,” All Things Considered

A very simple but lovely chant: Veni Creator Spiritus

Come, Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of Thy faithful
and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
