I couldn't find a single benediction of the blessed sacrament in Catholic or Anglican churches inside Canberra, either last Thursday (the actual date of the feast) or today on Sunday (the external solemnity). I remember the beautiful benediction I attended at [Old St. Paul's](https://www.osp.org.uk/) in Edinburgh last year on Corpus Christi, and it made me miss the United Kingdom and increased my frustration with the state of churches in Canberra. Anyway, we performed a new-to-me piece by Tallis, [Verily verily, I say unto you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaQ_DRvHqr8), with text based on the Gospel of John.}\quote{ \poem{ \line{Verily, verily, I say unto you:} \line{Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man} \line{and drink his blood, } \line{ye have no life in you. } \line{} \line{Whoso eateth my flesh, } \line{And drinketh my blood, } \line{Hath eternal life. } \line{} \line{For my flesh is meat indeed,} \line{and my blood is drink indeed, } \line{He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood} \line{Dwelleth in me, and I in him.} }}\p{\strong{Edit (2025-11-02):} I have now recorded myself singing this piece, although I cheated with the soprano part and recorded it two tones lower, then digitally transposed it up.}\<html:iframe>[style]{aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;}[width]{100\percent}[src]{https://www.youtube.com/embed/hG6YXAkAw4M}[title]{Verily, Verily, I say unto you}[frameborder]{0}[allow]{accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share}[referrerpolicy]{strict-origin-when-cross-origin}{}\p{I didn't bother with Evensong today, because of the missing benediction.}
