Where can I find a list of catholic church hymns?

by wgbhmorningstories

Ok, I like to listen to some of the music from church at home, and I can’t seem to find a list of songs online, any suggestions? I know the songs, but not the names of the songs.

Answer by Bibs
Well I suppose you could go to church some day between masses with a pencil and paper and just write down the names out of one of the hymnals.

Possibly American Catholic.com can help you.

Answer by Ciarán MacCathain
Well, you can look up ‘Georgian Chants’.

Dance, Dance, everywhere ever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
And I lead you all, everywhere ever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance said he.

Answer by ron.ron93
you should question the Music director at your Church..I had the Same Delemia …he Told me the Names of the 2 different types of music..or books of music …I cant remember the names but back then it helped me find the song I was looking For…

Answer by Christin K
Question your choir director at your church if you may borrow a hymnal to copy down some of the titles for looking up later. Bookstores also carry hymnals. Another excellent thought is to go to a church rummage sale–like the one our church held this weekend. We sold a bunch of ancient hymnals there!

A Kindred Moral fiber, At Your Service

Postal clerk Tess DeCosta is an "Elvis FAN fan." Hear what she means by listening to her tale called A Kindred Moral fiber.

Also, visit the WGBH Morning Tales website.

TRANSCRIPT OF "A KINDRED SPIRIT" PODCAST:

TONY KAHN:
Hi, everybody! This is Tony Kahn, the producer and director of Morning Tales from WGBH in Boston. Since the advent of email, I'm guessing that the digit of people who have been showing up at their local post office has been going down. In my case, way down. I'm born with that gene that makes you pick the incorrect line, no matter what. Especially at post offices. So I generally don't show. But as I learned not long ago, when I did have to go to the mail office to pick up some stamps the role of the post office, to keep people in touch with people has not diminished at all. When I dropped by that house, I was taken care of by a counter clerk. And "taken care of" is really putting it mildly. If I were a stamp, I would have felt that I had been licked by an angel. Her name was Tess DeCosta. She's a third-generation postal worker, and when she questioned me if there was anything else that she could do for me after the stamps, I said, "Could you come down to WGBH and let me talk to you for an hour in our studios?" So she did, and here, signed, sealed, and delivered is her tale. Now's Morning Tale we're calling, A Kindred Moral fiber.

[Sounds of post office customer dealings]

TESS DECOSTA:
There's a small ancient man named Pasquale who comes in. Nothing too spectacular about him; he's just a small man, and I remember the first time I met him. He was over at the other side of the lobby, and I said, "Hi, can I help you?" He said, "Yeah! Carry me!" Because, you know, he doubtless was feeling rather ancient, and he had a large wrap.

Mrs. Cornell – in the summertime she's down at the Cape; we always know when summer's over, because Mrs. Cornell is back. We close at 5:30 and she's there at the dot of 5:28 or 5:29, and always the same thing, " ‘Scuse me Dahling, it's very vital. I have this cahd that has to get to my niece." So we talk about the weather – nothing too spectacular, but it's a tie.

[In background, female voice: "Can I help you?"]

Lee comes in honestly evenly, always impeccably dressed, long drain coat, small black beret tilted just slightly askew on the side of his head. And we spoke for months and months before I ever found out he was a drummer for Duke Ellington! And many other bands. He just never brought it up before.

Even in just small ways, people stand out. Betty, who came in once – she said, "I was at the Farmers' Promote and I just bought you a pear. I thought you'd like a pear." Okay.
Sometimes really, people open up. 9-11 of course, this brings to mind, it was, we didn't have a lot of customers. A few people came in just to have things postmarked and mailed to themselves with the date on it. But some people just had to come in and talk. People would have their hands out and you'd see them struggling. And if I know them well enough, I'll touch a hand – just a small brief pat. It's incredible; it can go both ways. I remember when my father died. I'd been a window clerk for only a couple of being in the same house, here in Arlington. And I got a letter from Betty. I had quite a few customers come up to me, just touching my hand, charitable me a small piece of candy. "Just thinking about you dear, how're you doing?" And it's really special. We are all interconnected. And anytime I get proof of that I appreciate it.

[Background: "I have to xerox this; I'll be right back." " Can I have the key to the red cage?]

I estimate, growing up I always felt a small bit like a changeling. I always felt as if something — I had been dropped off by gypsies. Everyone else was very normal; my brother's a nice conservative gent, and my mother was a Sunday School teacher. And I said, "Everywhere am I getting this weirdness" but I remember when I was in grade school and high school, I became sort of a "passion junkie." I started, you know, going to the Hare Krishna temple. I started, you know, going to the Pentacostals, the Christian Scientists, a Catholic Church – just to see that tie. Just to remind me that people so different from you can really make you feel part of something larger than yourself. And that's what it is, it's a kindred moral fiber, and how we are all in this together.

When my aunt from Nebraska came over, she said, "You remind me of Laura!" Laura was, I believe, a fantastic aunt or a distant cousin. Laura, who was – she ran off and tied the circus. And she was in an act with her husband, "Laura and the Incredible Ingbert." And they had a motorcycle act. And she would ride around on a motorcycle with a lion in the sidecar! This is a tale I heard. I – you know — they tell me that there were postcards around with her, you know, "doing the wall of death" – with the motorcycle climbing higher and higher up this circular wall. And she had had enough of small-town living (which was what South Boston was back then, I suppose). I estimate she was looking for something more.

[Background: "So everything here is right and accurate to the best of your knowledge?"

I remember I had one small ancient lady came in and she said to me, "Make sure you do everything that you wanted to when you're young, because when you get grown-up and you can't do it you'll regret it." And she had a small sparkle in her eye, and I looked at her and I said, "So, did you do everything that you wanted to do?" And she said, "Oh yes! Oh yes."

When I took this job I realized that this was the one thing that they could never completely get rid of – the window clerk. There always going to have to be someone out there. I mean I wanna keep this job in anticipation of I've retired. I'm terrible at job interviews; I'm terrible at anything – pretty much everything else. It really seems to be just the spot for me!

A woman, I remember – it was the dead of winter. And she had a wrap, it was all bundled up, and she just was obvious just dragging. And she place this wrap up and she said, "I'm mailing this for someone else." I said, "Okay, well, blah-blah-blah, who's this for?" And she said, "Oh," she said. "My neighbor. I can't – you know, she's just too frail, and she doesn't, she can't really do anything, and so I spade her walk, and I do her errands for her, and – aach! I don't know. Sometimes she just seems to reckon that some angel is going to come down and take care of everything for her." And I pointed to her and said, "And there you are!" And she stopped, she said, "I estimate so!" And I loved that.

I like this job. Oh, yes! Oh, yes."

[Background sounds, "Bye!" "Bye!" and of post office continue; music starts.]

TONY KAHN:
That was now's Morning Tale from the lovely Tess DeCosta, of my local zip code. A Kindred Moral fiber, we called it. I was also thinking of calling it, Gary (Gary Mott is here in the studio with me, as always), A Passion Junkie. But somehow I thought that –

GARY MOTT:
Yeah, that's –

TONY KAHN:
– might give the incorrect connotation, you know, she’s . . .

GARY MOTT:
Yeah, that's not really accurate. Right.

TONY KAHN:
She is an artist in encounters. There are people who will not forget their one time in line with Tess DeCosta, and it's just because she lets them feel like themselves!

GARY MOTT:
What a gift that she has. And, you know, that can make someone's day.

TONY KAHN:
Well you know, not just your day! I reckon it can make your life, in some ways. In a sense that you might find that it's a moment that you really don't forget. Heaven knows, you never know the moments that you have an impact on somebody that may be lifelong, unless they tell you. But it could be from a very simple thing! That just as the being go by becomes a touchstone for a moment everywhere you unexpectedly had that small moment of grace everywhere you got to be with an absolute weirder, and that weirder felt to you like somebody who was very close. Tess told me that she hasn't traveled much. She did go on one vacation, she said, to Memphis, Tennessee to go to Graceland. And she said, "You know, it's not that I'm an Elvis fan. I'm an Elvis fan fan! I went to see people experience that closeness with each other, in that sense of being part of something larger. Who happened to experience it through Elvis!" She is remarkable! [laughs] I just reckon, such a gem and so glad to find her. Although I expect if you look around, you find these people wherever you are."

GARY MOTT:
You know, speaking of traveling, I was for three being a customer service agent for a major airline at O'Hare Airport in Chicago.

TONY KAHN:
Mm Hmm. An airline that still exists, to this day?

GARY MOTT:
It does.

TONY KAHN:
No doubt, [no?] in small measure to you, doubtless.

GARY MOTT:
Well, I can count on possibly one hand, the rewarding experiences that I had.

TONY KAHN:
Hmmm.

GARY MOTT:
It was a constant barrage of dealing with delayed flights.

TONY KAHN:
For which you're held personally responsible.

GARY MOTT:
Of course! A hundred people in front of me, and the flight is fifteen minutes from departure, and I'm in the middle of some complicated ticketing transaction. I just – it was a hateful job!

TONY KAHN:
Did anyone ever do you a favor, recognize you as a person there?

GARY MOTT:
The favors that people did for me were to simply be pleasant. Something that made me feel like I was more than just a guy checking them in and, you know, slinging their bags on the belt.

TONY KAHN:
Who practice that kind of – you know, I reckon about all these X-ray machines. You know, X-ray machines are always looking for something terrible. What if we had the capability of having a kind of X-ray that allowed us to look just past the uniform, to see the person? You know – just practice that kind of X-ray vision. Which you don't have to be Superman to have, you know. You do everybody a favor, if you can, if you can realize that each situation you’re in can be a person-to-person situation. Contracted, if it's a speeding truck coming at you, get out of the way! But otherwise, you know, if you can set up eye contact crosswise the counter, boy – it's incredible the kinds of things that can happen.

GARY MOTT:
Sure.

TONY KAHN:
[To listeners] As you know, we questioned you a couple of weeks ago to let us know everywhere in your pocket you place Morning Tales in the course of the day. Gives us a excellent picture of the relationship we have with you and what we can do to make it better. And we've been hearing wonderful things! Be sure to keep in touch and let us know everywhere you are getting us, and send us pictures, if you'd like, of everywhere, everywhere we end up, too. We'd like to know what kind of trip we're being taken on as well. In fact, if you're in wherever that you are even surprised you finished up in! I'd like to know about that too. So make sure to get in touch with us!

GARY MOTT:
is the most direct way to contact us.

TONY KAHN:
And before saying goodbye, a deep "hello," as always, to the people at Ipswitch, a leader in file transfer software. The organization – dare I call them the benevolent society – that has kept us going as a podcast. Thanks a lot, guys. Check them out at their website, . I-P-S-W-I-T-C-H

GARY MOTT:
And we'll see you next week.

TONY KAHN:
Save that Friday, and keep your ears clear. We'll talk to you soon. Bye!

Transcribed by Liz Cooksey

I am Christian (I’ve been to many divisions, Methodist, learned about Lutheran, Catholic, and I accept that they are all just different people who believe in the same God).
Now, I’ve always loved science (physics), and was one of my favorite subjects.
I always loved God. And believed in him.
But since learning about physics indepth, in the back of my mind, i just feel the belief I’ve had in God is diminishing.
I want to believe, but I just feel empty.
i’ve always accepted both Science and God, that science just describes the physical world, and that God still exists, as a being that transcends beyond anything understandable to a human.
I was never baptized, I’ve prayed to God most nights before bed, and i’ve cried from listening to pastors on youtube (paul washer).
I’ve listened to Christian music online, and cried from my desire to like God again.
But I feel empty.

I need help, because I don’t reckon I can be converted into a child of God just by saying so. I truly want to believe.
I want some advice from other Christians, and I wish they would pray for me.
People seem confused about my life in science.
It’s not that science contradicts religious conviction, but string theory is making me reckon in all kinds of abstract ways, but is making me reckon in abstract ways on other aspects of my life, such as my belief.

I believe God exists, but in the back of my mind, it says that he not real. And not because of science, but because science has made me go around and re-evaluate things.
The way I feel is that God has left me, I feel empty, lonely, as if I was stripped of the Holy Moral fiber that would keep me full and warm inside.
I feel he isn’t answering my prayers anymore, just that I feel empty of that feeling that God is with me.
Nothing about science from what I learned is going against religious conviction, but I believe they are the same thing but from a physical and spiritual point of view.

What I want is advice on what to do, to bring the belief back. I’ve seen videos that make me weep for God to return to me, to bring back the belief I once had.

Answer by Priรciℓℓα ☼
You aren’t going to be able to hold on to a Paul Washer style Christianity, but you can absolutely be a Christian and like physics simultaneously.

You might want to check out the author John Polkinghorne, he’s an Anglican priest and a physicist and he writes a lot of books on belief and science.

Answer by Jeff
Use you head and mind. It will guide you more than prayer.

Answer by Paulabear
You can’t make yourself believe. I don’t reckon you’d lose your belief just over science. It digs deeper.

Personally as an Atheist I reckon a lot of people who commence to lose belief realize that their prayers are going unanswered and that it hasn’t really done them any excellent. Basically the only reason they believe is out of dread of “going to hell”.
Just reckon about it, what makes you more pleased? Believing or not?
Don’t weep, if you don’t believe everything will be all right. When I lost my belief I felt more pleased and was determined to make the most of my life. I felt pleased and determined in MYSELF rather than praying. I would weep praying, and hope and wish. It did nothing. I chose after realizing there wasn’t really a “god” that I would stop relying on things other than for myself to solve my problems. I’ve been much more pleased.

Answer by David
Paul Washer is a fake teacher. He teaches works for salvation, which is against JESUS’S FREE SALVATION. So avoid Paul Washer.

“Science” has many lies in it. You need to believe the BIBLE, and not “science”.

Jesus is God, and Jesus likes you so very much!

Believe in Jesus for free salvation, and you are going to heaven, no matter what! John 3:16! That simple!

The certainty about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing in Jesus for salvation, believing in belief lonely that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus lonely for salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what!

Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus lonely to save you! It is impossible to lose or “leave” salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).

Delight pray now: “Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal life!” You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die!

Answer by Super Duck23
It very much depends of which science you are talking about.

I am catholic, and I believe in both science and god. But my theory of life and of the universe is more or so like this:

God made the Huge Bang, and then he started to go the planets around so he could adjust the temperature on our planets to just right. Then, he added cells to our world, watched it grow, and helped make plants (which were notoriously hard to make in evolution).

TADAA!
