Princess Diana's Funeral Part 18: St Francis of Assisi & The Archbishop of Canterbury
BackThe applause for Earl Spencer dies down and there is a hymn, 'Make me a channel of your peace':
Make me a channel of your peace:
where there is hatred let me bring your love,
where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
and where there's doubt, true faith in you:
O Master grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul!
Make me a channel of your peace:
where there's despair in life let me bring hope,
where there is darkness, only light,
and where there's sadness, ever joy:
O Master grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul!
Make me a channel of your peace:
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving ourselves that we receive,
and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
O Master grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul!
Make me a channel of your peace:
where there is hatred let me bring your love,
where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
and where there's doubt, true faith in you.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey, then leads the Prayers. His job on the day was to offer words of healing and there was no back biting or negativity and he only spoke of the good things about Diana. I think the Archbishop did his job superbly that day. He's a very good public speaker while still retaining the air of an English village vicar.
I had an email from a viewer asking for a copy of the tape. I am looking into acquiring the equipment to make copies of it onto DVD. If successful, I will make copies available. I already have the capacity to make PAL VHS copies. Please email if interested.

Dear Friend,
Hello,
The choir sang this majestic song very well, the members were both professional and informal and sang with zest and zeal, the conductor was just as simple, without any pompous vain actions. The ending of the song was purely heavenly with the descant descending from heaven itself. Truly wonderful for Diana's life . Franklin Samraj- Spicer, Pune India.

The Choir consists of some 30 boys (all of whom attend the Abbeys dedicated residential Choir School in the precincts) and 12 professional adult singers known as Lay Vicars.

THANK YOU so much to who posted this video. The Prayer of St. Francis has always been most most passionate, and I have never heard anyone before or since sing it with such beauty as the cathedral choir.

Tribe I agree with the you that he attacked the media and rightly so. However to say that he attacked the royal family is a stretch at the least. He Just was continuing The princess's wanting to show, that there was more to life than duty and the royal family.

r u serious?? u think its a strech that he attacked the royals??
"I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned."

wouldnt say it was an attack, seemed more like an assertive way of stating that dianas ambition to have her children living a somewhat "normal" life will not be forgotten and her family will do all they can to ensure that they can lead such a life. Could be taken both ways i guess...i'd like to think he wasn't attacking at a time when all feuds should be put aside.

Also:
'She proved in the last year, she needed no royal title to continue her particular brand of magic'.
True, but still an open attack on the Royal Family. Rightly so.
