What a Glorious Sunday

when you get to sing not only "Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest" but "Let All Mortal Flesh," "Wide Open Stand the Gates," and "Now Thank We." The Festival of the Holy Trinity provides our entrance into the Semester Ecclesiae. Now the long "green" season has begun, with its emphasis on our Lord's teaching and our growth in union with Him in both love and hope (as distinct from the Semester Domini with its emphasis upon the events of our Lord's life, and hence upon the substance of our faith). In the many Sundays ahead it is our prayer that the Blessed Spirit would shape in us the mind of Christ.

I had a great service today, too, at the new church I visited.

Except for the fact the ENTIRE SANCTUARY is painted MAUVE.

Lucciola,

It's a SIGN! Give in. You are surrounded!

Can you honestly tell me, HOW this color works in a liturgical setting?

I just don't get it. It's purple-pink. What is it with you people? Does Hello Kitty make you sing "A Mighty Fortress"?

(head-in-hands)...

I'm just not white enough. Maybe that's it. I gotta get more white.

LOL. You're going to be dreaming mauve tonight...
