Whitsunday

Work & other responsibilities have kept me offline for a while now. I'd like to think things will improve, but with the upcoming Bible Study & other schoolwork, it doesn't look likely.

Had a glorious Whitsunday Mass yesterday. Our schola sang Palestrina's Missa Brevis (minus the Credo & Agnus Dei II) & it was lovely. It is also beautiful to sing the ancient Pentecostal hymns in the ancient language - Veni Spiritus Sanctus & Veni Creator Spiritus.
Also, it looks like the Traditional Litrugy is heading to Holy Ghost in August. I can hardly think of a more beautiful place to celebrate the ancient liturgy. Very excited about that!

Father's homily focused on the Spirit teaching us all things. Today, many refuse to believe that there is a Truth that can be found or that any particular truth is truer than any other. This is a great challenge to bringing the light of Christ into the world today. I believe the greatest witness of the Christ's Truth is simply to pursue a life of holiness - which is to allow oneself to be formed by God into the image of God, rather than being formed by the world into its image. People watch what Christians do to see if it matches up to what they profess. We are held to a higher standard - & should be.

For Jill, here is The Fish in most of its glory:

And the fisher of men who rides upon it! That's what Jill will think whenever I pass this fish on the parkway.
