Sanctus Bells!!!!!
If you were at Mass this Morning
... you already know two things:
1) That our proclamation of the Mysterium Fidei needs some work
2) That through a very generous (and anonymous) donation, our Masses and Benedictions next year will include a very fine ring of traditional SANCTUS BELLS.
I can't express my own personal gratitude or the excitement of my fellow Shriners (errrr Whapsters) and Mass-goers. Our profound thanks goes out to the donors. Thank you.. Thank you. Thank you!
Today was also the implementation of the chin-paten, but of course, The Communion-plate for the Communion of the faithful should be retained, so as to avoid the danger of the sacred host or some fragment of it falling. ([93.], Redemptionis Sacramentum).
At Mass today, as the censor swung at the Consecration and I glanced the Commmunion plate waiting at the credence table, heard the Latin acclaimation intoned by our own cassocked Dan, in a beautiful chapel with a sizeble attendence for 9am at a college campus, I was very, very grateful to Our Lord for allowing us to worship Him in so beautiful a way.
And thank you, again, to those by whom He enabled us so to do.
