Week 7 (Church 8)
After I had solidly made plans for St. Isaac Jouges, I spent too much time remembering how many times I had seen Black Robe. Once for sure in 10th grade history class, once more in college as part of Fr. Rossi's film series...what class was that even for?
My attention span at mass yesterday evening wasn't much better as you are about to read. Mass was both joyfull and fulfilling. St. Isaac Jouges is a big yellow church with four columns of pews. (How did I not notice before that so many churches are yellow?) It was bright with a full crowd, lots of high school kids. It was noisy. They used projectors and screens. I have a general aversion to that.
Gather books! They were barely used last night. (Am I turning into one of those people who only know the words to Hear I am Lord and Eagle's Wings?) Their youth band was great, but I was expecting something different. No Soon and Very Soon?
This week's homily: Sin looks like fun, but it really isn't. (Are you sure?) Be a person of charity and love.
St. Isaac Jouges has these cool bookmarks in the pews for visitors. I filled one out and directed them to this blog. And so ends the liturgical year. Though we didn't talk about it last night (thankfully) it seems everyone is pretty serious about this New Roman Missal business.
I'm not sure where I am headed next week, but I'll post when I figure it out. Happy Thanksgiving!
Those cool bookmarks work! Many thanks to the staff of St. Isaac Jouges!
