Archbishop Alexander Sample is at the Sacred Music Colloquium in Salt Lake City. 

I am told he just finished speaking a short time ago.

A text message from someone I know who is attending the Colloquium said, " Schazaaam!!!"

This was followed by almost immediately by a subsequent message which said:

"Just came from Abp Sample's talk on the Sacred Liturgy. Good thing you weren't here."

Well... Of course, I inquired, "Why?"

The message came back:

"It was held in the Cathedral. I was in tears. Msgr Wadsworth told him that people like him had waited a lifetime to hear those word.

"It would have been all I could do to keep you from jumping up on the pews, shouting 'AMEN, BROTHER, PREACH IT!!!!'"

Perhaps that says more about me than it does about Archbishop Sample's talk, but it's all I've go for now!

I'm sure we'll hear more soon.
