Christian's Notes for 9/15/2025

it was a little premature when I said only to repeat what we did last Monday.
That is still the most important preparation!
But I should let you know what we will work on besides repeating.
   O come, o come Emmanuel (10)
   Es ist ein Ros (18)
   Verbum caro factum est (4)
