Bring Flowers of the Rarest
This hymn, very popular in Ireland particularly in May, was written by Mary E. Walsh in the late 1800s. The words are here. It was sung by the late Irish tenor Frank Patterson at the Faith of Our Fathers concert in Dublin in 1997. Frank was a deeply committed Catholic and died in 2000 at the age of 61. May he rest in peace.

Dearest Father Seán,
Almost like getting a glimpse of heaven to see such above natural painting and hearing the heavenly music.
Mass ought never be different from this!
Hugs,
Mariette
