Sorry this podcast is a day late. It was actually recorded yesterday, so everything will be as if yesterday (Sunday May 7) was today. The problem was that the podcast host's server crashed, and they're on a new server as of today. Worse, ALL my episodes were lost. The bright side is that they're all on my hard drive. So I'm re-uploading all of them one by one. It may take a while to get them all up, but they'll get there. Please bear with us.

Next Sunday is Mother's Day. So next week's show may also be a day late so the kids and I can spend the day with my wife.

- Here we chat about hymns that are actually part of larger hymns (e.g., Tantum Ergo is the tail end of Pange Lingua). We also mention multiple names of the Sunday in the Easter Octave (e.g., Divine Mercy Sunday - image pictured left), and Shamus starts the "Low Sunday Limbo". Can you say, "Shamus go BOOM?!"

Ye Sons and Daughters (Mode II), sung by Holy Ghost Choir
Ex Cathedra by Alan Renkl, courtesy of Podsafe
