Archbishop Alexander Sample Homily on the Extraordinary Form of the Mass

No, I have not returned to blogging, but I felt compelled to post this video of a homily by Archbishop Alexander Sample of the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon.

This was a solemn pontifical Mass that came at the conclusion of a Gregorian chant conference held at the Brigitinne Monastery  "Our Lady of Consolation" in Amity, Oregon. The Mass was the crowning celebration of a 3-day conference on Gregorian Chant and the role of sacred music in the liturgy (see a news story here). You may view an album of wonderful photos of the event here, thanks to Marc Salvatore.

UPDATE: An unofficial transcript of the homily is available here.
