I find it very inviting and wish that more priests would think about doing this. Makes the ritual seem so much more beautiful. Even a chanted Eucharistic prayer seems to be more prayerful to me.
What thinkest thou?

I prefer the Mass of Light version if this is to be done--or a more classical chant--but I agree that it forces you to listen to the prayer in a new way, a good way.
This is how the Eucharistic prayer was done at my Catholic grade school. I'm 27 now, and I can still hear Fr. Mark singing it inside my head. I'm so glad I came across this video because I haven't heard a priest sing this complete setting of the Eucharistic Prayer since I was a kid. I think my long-lasting memories of this melody shows how good liturgical music can truly enhance our experience of liturgy, and more importantly, how the symbols and ritual of liturgy can deeply effect us. Thanks for posting!!!
