Funny how things happen. Was just reminiscing about the "Nunc Dimittis" as it is sung during Candlemas services versus Compline. So, if you don't mind me adding a little atmosphere to your story:

As sung during Mass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0SPKS-AyH0

As sung during Compline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrDTzQtfvwk

And one by Palestrina, because I love Palestrina.  :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWVIdRfPfmE

Thank you so much.
Beautiful all of them.

Am now thinking that maybe Denis and Thomas would have sung the Nunc Dimittis in plainchant, with Thomas being granted the strength to do so one more time.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

I suppose I should note that for Candlemas the hymn is often referred to as the "Lumen ad revelationem gentium." Though both are the Canticle of Simeon
"Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun."

Just reread this. What a beautiful and moving story. Thank you again.

DerynifanK thank you for bringing this story back to the forefront of our memmorries.

Revanne, again I shed a few tears, and again I grow to appreciate Denise all the more.
FWP, Thank you.
May your horses have wings and fly!

DerynifanK once more reminded me of this beautiful momemnt with Denis and Thomas. I was heartbroken to remember the story but I was mesmorized by my repeat reading. Thank you Revanne.
