Are you agostinian, cistercian, ursuline, carmelite?<br /><br />Funny and intelligent blog.

Because I read the documents for a class once, and it said that Latin and chant should stay in the Mass, but that you could do some of it in the vernacular. And it didn't say anything at all about altars. <br /><br />Wasn't the priest facing God before? So now he has his back to God, so he can look at the people? Maybe the priest and God are keeping their eyes on us?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-80346846597959111112006-12-06T12:30:00.000-08:002006-12-06T12:30:00.000-08:00Maybe they weren't in heaven but just visiting fro...Maybe they weren't in heaven but just visiting from the Limbo of the Fathers. Or maybe since they were hanging around with Jesus they got an early parole from Limbo.<br /><br />I would chalk it up to "Sacred Mystery"...and you know what that means.Sister Mary Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580244097177195453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-92128715554194549712006-12-06T12:20:00.000-08:002006-12-06T12:20:00.000-08:00Dear Sister Mary Martha,
Thank you for your insig...Dear Sister Mary Martha,<br /><br />Thank you for your insight, wit and just brightening my day. <br /><br />I understand that at the sin of Adam the gates were closed (daft phrase really). I would like your thoughts on how Elijah got a ‘get out of Limbo free card’ and took the freeway straight up to heaven in his chariot of fire and later appears with Moses during the Transfiguration? I suppose the question is, was heaven full with Moses and Elijah while Ruth, David, Joseph etc, etc, had to stooge around in Limbo until the Resurrection? Either it was closed or it had a members only sign up, wait that’s what it is now… I think.<br /><br />If Heaven was shut to all, how did they get in (Moses and Elijah)? we do not think unlike The Blessed Virgin they were immaculately conceived. Just a thought if you can shed any light.<br /><br />Mark<br /><br />PS They could have sneaked in by the back door, climbed over the fence maybe, mmmm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-79579520205939796772006-12-06T11:59:00.000-08:002006-12-06T11:59:00.000-08:00I love what came out of Vatican II, except for all...I love what came out of Vatican II, except for all the folk music.

That must be the translation you were quoting.<br /><br />Either make it clear, the Four Spiritual laws may have been a Bright idea from Bill but, in fact, it's not a Scriptural claim.<br /><br />Oh the fun of being a convert.<br /><br />Peace, good will to you, well, here's hoping.owenswainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540186205959897960noreply@blogger.com
