Tu scendi dalle stelle
O Re del Cielo
E vieni in una grotta
Al freddo al gelo
O Bambino mio Divino
Io ti vedo qui a tremar,
O Dio Beato
Ah, quanti ti costo
L'avermi amato
The splendid Poor Ladies of Ty Mam Duw Monastery in Wales sent me this photo of their Bambino Gesù. Seeing it made me want to sing Tu scendi dalle stelle!
His Excellency, the Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live in adoration before the Most
Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of thanksgiving and intercession, that he
might make reparation before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. At the same time, he is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental
support in their pursuit of holiness.
Here's a recording of a local community chorus performing Tu scendi dalle stelle in 2002. While learning the carol, we joked that freddo e al gelo sounded like a dessert. :-)
Meraviglioso! Grazie!
