  1. Hearing “Pie Jesu” and not thinking of Monty Python is like listening to “William Tell Overture” and not thinking of the Lone Ranger, and for much the same reason.

  4. In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

    (May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.)

  5. Thank you. It’s a lovely post. We still miss him. I expect he and the Lord are having some great discussions. I wish we could listen in.

  6. Isaac, I love the humor of that scene, and I’m sure Michael Spencer did too. However, I have posted this tonight as a prayer in memory of Michael’s passing. I already deleted another “Monty Python” comment, and am using yours to encourage folks to listen to this prayerfully as you think of Michael and his family today. There will be time for humor in days to come. Today we remember and pray.

  7. My favorite rendition of Pie Jesu is the one done by the monks on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Or does that not count?
