    WOW Michael Beltran sure is anointed by Jesus. I became Catholic around 2017. February 2020 by kidney transplant of 30 years failed. I went on dialysis. I felt so alone. Many friends and family stopped talking to me because they didn't like that I had become Catholic, they also didn't know what to say to me during dialysis.I would listen to the litany of the saints song and know that I was surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. I was not alone! Jesus and all His friends were with me.
    I had a kidney transplant on August 11, 2023. I am doing wonderful. PRAISE JESUS. I love Him so much.

      @michaelbeltran  6 місяців тому +2

      Hello! Thanks for watching the video. This was a long list of saints that I added for the vigil and was quite the task to try and fit them in rhythmically. So, it begins with a few that John Becker wrote in, in his original setting, and then it was a task (prior to the service) to add the names. I believe it was around 10 or so ‘verses’ before we went to the bridge “Lord be merciful…” I know that’s not helpful but if you’re looking for the sheet music of this exact version, you won’t find it (nor do I have it anymore - sorry! 😞). Happy Easter!!
