Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.

Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.

I can still hear the deep, mellow voice of a particular Christian Brother singing this Mass. It is one of my better memories of the Catholic Church. The sound of the song is the good memory. The meaning is a different story. It is so pleading. Sort of like a dog begging for a biscuit. If I were God hearing this I would tell him to go solve his own problem and stop being such a sycophant. (IMHO)
