UPDATE: The audio controls have been replaced by a YouTube video, so now the song is combined with pictures from the ordination. Amazing! Thank you Julie, Maria, and others who put their skills together to make this video.

Julie Lafontaine was a parishioner of mine back when I was in Saint Luke parish in Dollard-des-Ormeaux. She has a gorgeous singing voice and is quite a talented artist in that regard. Back when my appointment as bishop was first announced she wrote me the following:
I just thought I should let you know that I felt compelled to write a song in honour of your recent election as Auxiliary Bishop. I would love to share it with you some time soon.
Well, “soon” turned out to be today! With her permission, feel free to have a listen for yourselves:
I am so very touched by this generous gesture, which I can tell came from the heart. Thank you, Julie, I am proud to share this song with my blog readers.
