There's a bit of delay happening between picture and sound here, but I think it's still understandable.

Day 9 of 100 day Gregorian chant challenge.
I had the honour to sing at two funerals recently. The music for the Requiem Mass and burial and everything is so right. This chant is sung after Mass, either at the burial or if that is delayed, then it can be sung at the church.
The words come from a conversation between Jesus and Martha before he raised her brother Lazarus from the dead.
The canticle in the middle is from the Morning prayer of the Church. Prayers said on rising from bed are fitting for thoughts on the final resurrection.
Ego sum resurrectio et vita: qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit vivet: at omnia qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum.
I am the resurrection and the life, he that believes in me, even if he dies, he shall live; and everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die forever.

Most places are probably celebrating an External Solemnity of Corpus Christi this Sunday, but here are the propers for anyone who isn't. This should be in a playlist where you can listen to all the propers for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost.

Gospel in Latin
In illo témpore, Erat Joseph et María mater Jesu, mirántes super his quae dicebántur de illo. Et benedíxit illis Símeon, et dixit ad Maríam matrem ejus : Ecce pósitus est hic in ruínam, et in resurrectiónem multórum in Israel, et in signum cui contradicétur : et tuam ipsíus animam pertransíbit gládius ut reveléntur ex multis córdibus cogitatiónes.
Et erat Anna prophetíssa, fília Phánuel, de tribu Aser : haec procésserat in diébus multis, et víxerat cum viro suo annis septem a virginitáte sua. Et haec vídua usque ad annos octogínta quátuor : quae non discedébat de templo, jejúniis, et obsecratiónibus sérviens nocte ac die. Et haec, ipsa hora supervéniens, confitebátur Dómino : et loquebátur de illo ómnibus, qui exspectábant redemptiónem Israel.
Et ut perfecérunt ómnia secúndum legem Dómini, revérsi sunt in Galilaéam in civitátem suam Názareth. Puer autem crescébat, et confortabátur plenus sapiéntia : et grátia Dei erat in illo.
Gospel in English
At that time Joseph and Mary the Mother of Jesus were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day. Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth. And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
