The Easter season ended with vespers. Now we're back into dreary old ordinary time. That's okay, some of the best daily Mass readings show up during ordinary time. Thank God that I am able to attend daily Mass, when so many are not.
Today it was Gethsemani to sing chants with the monks. I love going to the Solemnities out there: the chants, the incense, the whole shebang. Also, I love when the procession passes me and half the priests are happy to see me. The other half, of course, just don't know me. Cough, cough.
The Georgenz who is a follower of this blog asked me what I had been prior to becoming RC. I was an Episcopalian. Had I not started going to two solid years of 6:15am daily Masses at Gethsemani, I probably would have remained a very unhappy Episcopalian. Unhappy you say? Yes, because it had become sex obsessed. Come to think of it, I believe all the churches are sex obsessed. It makes one wonder just what the problem is that we are constantly sticking our noses into other peoples bedrooms, and on top of that, judging them by what they do in their bedrooms.
Who cares! Today the church celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit; the birthday of the Church; the coming of the Kingdom of God. All the rest of it, including the murder of the Abortion Doctor today, is just so much human dung piled on top of what is basically very simple.
Jesus Christ, and him crucified and resurrected. Beyond that ... there is nothing.
