week 6 (church 7)
This week took me to Immaculate Heart of Mary. And I had company. Turns out you can take the community on the road with you. How fun! And if it weren't for them, I would have been that dork who messes up the communion line.
Immaculate Heart of Mary is another small church with two columns of pews. It has a pitched roof, stained glass, marble and carpeted floors. It was full of families with funny kids who dance who in church aisles. I love ornery kids at church. I think it's funny. But secretly I pray that if I am ever so lucky to have kids of my own, I want the ones who work the crowd at the sign of peace. Not the ones who throw matchbox cars at the altar.
I discovered another red hymnal that I can't remember the name of. (I should write these things down! Or look out for red hymnals this year.) There was also a book called Choose Christ which I wasn't that into. We sang City of God and One Bread, One Body. No complaints from me on the music front. It was a pretty standard piano and guitar combo. Apparently the tambourine is more popular than I thought. This mass also offers a sign language interpreter.
This week's homily was about using your talents joyfully and in service of others. There was some more time spent on the New Roman Missal. (Please leave the permanent cards in the pews for everyone to use!) What must Vatican II have been like?
Next week is the feast of Christ the King. I've had a request for St. Isaac Jogues. See you Sunday at 5:30.
