Marie Among the Hurons in Midland, Ontario, which is dedicated to the works of Jesuits among the Wendat people. What a joy to hear this beautiful song and the beats just move the heart. Thank you for making it available!!! A real early Christmas gift in this beginning of the fall season. Robert W. sj I just returned from a pilgrimage to Ste.

I haven't heard that song since I first learned to sing it in English more than 20 years ago. It was beautiful to hear it inWendat & French. Ironically while living in Upstate/ Central NY for 10 years the old stopming ground for the North American Martyrs I never heard it. It brought to mind an interesting conversation my husband and I had shortly after Christmas about all of the Carols that we and everyone else seemed to know when we were Children. So many are no longer sung because they are politically incorrect (Good Christian men rejoice of God Rest ye merry Gentlemen) but they have beautiful 2nd & 3rd verses that are overflowing with a wealth of Incarnation theology. To the dismay of our son it sparked a sing along on a long ride in the car. I am happy to say he survived and we remembered. Thank you for this post.
