A First Mass Reminds Me of My Own... A CONCORD PASTOR COMMENTS - January 27, 2012 ... ordained this spring just posted the date of his first Mass. His announcement stirred some memories... It's nearly 39 years since I was thinking of and preparing for the first time I would celebrate Mass after ordination. I was filled with excitement, joy, anticipation, nervousness and gratitude. I remember planning the invitations, the music, the worship aid and the reception. I remember ...http://concordpastor.blogspot.com/2012/01/first-mass-reminds-me-of-my-own.html

Sheilaism BOINKIE'S BLOG - January 26, 2012 ... I'd provide a short, but hopefully helpful, lexicon of "un-church-ese." Here we go…. "A sign from God" I have a good feeling about this un-church. Plus, the refreshments after the worship service were tasty. "Anointing" I cried during the worship service for no reason. "Communion" Crackers or pizza. Add soda or juice. Read John 6:63. Celebrate at the end of the service, taking no more than seven minutes. "Contemporary" ...http://boinkie.blogspot.com/2012/01/sheilaism.html
Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul CATHOLICFAMILYTODAY - January 25, 2012 ... trials and tribulations we encounter in life we cannot help but continue to be joyful. The song, entitled How Can I Keep From Singing was made popular in the 60's by folk singers such as Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and the like. It talks of making fresh each day a sense of newness, of peace knowing there is a promise of a better life. It is one of those songs which one can't shake once it gets into your head, and as I read today's first reading from Acts this ...http://catholicfamilytoday.blogspot.com/2012/01/feast-of-conversion-of-saint-paul.html

Connectedness ASSISTANT POTTER - January 23, 2012 On a recent trip to China, I realized for the first time that I actually felt at home there. I enjoyed walking anonymously in the streets, just observing the ordinary men, women and children as they went about their daily activities. I even imagined that sometime in the retirement future, we could possibly rent a place for a whole month and just live the ordinary day to day life there. We could also find our way to ...http://assistantpotter.blogspot.com/2012/01/connectedness.html

Apparently there used to be a popular hymn version in the Philippines, but I haven't found that for sure. Possibly this setting from a Choral Sacred Music group in Tarazona, Spain, may be it . So of course there's a contemporary song version on YouTube. Several, all different. It's a very good song text for setting. Here's more of an art song version , from Costa Rica. ...http://suburbanbanshee.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/no-me-mueve-mi-dios/
St. Cletus SNUP'S VIEW FROM THE BACK PEW - January 22, 2012 Good Evening all. This morning I attended the 10 am Mass at St. Cletus in St. Charles. I was going to attended the Noon LifeTeen Mass but I had a headache... St. Cletus was built around 1967 and is in a modern style. The stained glass is chunky and abstract. The music was accompanied by a choir and a piano.

Chinese New Year in Christian Context (2) MY JOURNEY - January 22, 2012 ... getting some dishes ready for tonight's New Year Eve (thanksgiving) dinner. As for me, I try to help where I can when I'm summoned by them. But for now, I will just get this posted before they start calling for me again. As a young Catholic, I have always wondered what does Chinese New Year have to do with Christianity. Is it really a culture for us Chinese, or is it some kind of cult practices, or occasions ...http://audrey-shark.blogspot.com/2012/01/chinese-new-year-in-christian-context-2.html

I find it unnatural if we don't applaud. A: The church is not a concert hall and the liturgy is not a performance. We are there to direct our attention to God—not to each other. There is a time and place for everything. The church is for prayer—not performances.

St. Agnes FOUNTAIN OF ELIAS - January 21, 2012 ... St. Agnes. In the ancient Roman calendar of the feasts of the martyrs (Depositio Martyrum), incorporated into the collection of Furius Dionysius Philocalus, dating from 354 and often reprinted, e.g. in Ruinart [ Acta Sincera Martyrum (ed. Ratisbon, 1859), 63 sqq.], her feast is assigned to 21 January, to which is added a detail as to the name of the road (Via Nomentana) near which her grave was located. The earliest sacramentaries give the same date for her feast, and it is on this day that ...http://fountainofelias.blogspot.com/2010/01/st-agnes.html
