A Pachabel Connection?

Between recent pop hits &
the melancholy 'Canon in D'?

Whether you hear it or not,
the question was posed as a
result of an interesting

The Dawn Patrol.

No Place for God,
by Moyra Doorly -

Which was recommended
to me by Joseph Pearce,
biographer & editor
of the Saint Austin Review -
(at the recent Chesterton
conference I was fortunate
enough to attend).

Am finding the book on
church architecture inter-
esting. I haven't finished
it yet, but will say that while
I understand that recent
church architecture (unfor-
tunately) reflects the recent
age, we have to acknowledge
that, whether we like the
design or not, He's still there.

Imo, like everything else made
by man throughout history, only
some are exceptional to behold.
This is my opinion. Beauty, practi-
cality & content aren't always
found altogether. If today's
churches do not seem reverent,
well - the content is still there.
The function is the same, even
if it's not awe-inspiring to behold.

As a child, I vaguely remember
altar railings - but mostly attended
Holy Mass in the gymnasium/
cafeteria of the local Catholic
school after the beautiful
church building was sold.

Grew tired of the guitar-strumming
minstrels with their sweet but simple
tunes.

Would read all the readings for
the day before Mass even started,
then sit staring at the incredible
Crucifix on the wall next to me,
where I'd always sit in the back.

And as mundane as it all seemed,
you could tell that He was there.
& the reverence, though expressed
somewhat differently, was still
there, too.

Couldn't resist the book of
music - got the choir edition
which is helpful as I'm an alto
& need it for the parts.

Both from Ignatius Press.

Liking the prettiful

prayer shawls, *hand made
& available from:

Trinity Stores.

*And the sales help provide
an income for the families of the
women who make them.

An excellent site

that has done excellent work,
(link) over the years.

I would encourage any regular
internet user to get in the habit
of checking it regularly... their
work is essential, has helped a
great many people, & continues
to help solve as well as prevent,
further tragedies, thank God...

& may God bless the difficult
work that they have to do.

Funny!!

Honey... :)

Abbey Roads.

Happy Birthday! :)

to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday dear lifelong pal
Melodybleu-uuuu....

Happy Birthday to you!!! :)

Briefly, MB & I have known
each other for over forty years.

Her interests are vast & varied -
She introduced me to most of the
music that I have loved for a life-
time, from classic to rock - & now
on her blog she continues to post
fast & furious on much of what
she cares & is concerned about...

& if I didn't know it was her blog
& I read it, I'd know it was hers:)

HB Jen, &
God bless you!!!!!

Neat!

Someone translated
this blog into

Russian!

:)

(& thanks!)

Many thanks to whoever translated this...

Praying that the local public library
adds Nancy Brown's study guide:
G. K. Chesterton: The Blue Cross
to its collection. It's a wonderful
introduction to the Father Brown
detective series by GKC, written
for students in grades 8-12...

(I got my own copy anyway:)

Good work, Mrs. Brown!

Update:

Congratulations, Mrs. Brown!
Your published work will be
added to the adult collection:)

...to this!

(From the cover):

A man's soul is as full of
voices as a forest, there
are ten thousand tongues
there like all the tongues
of the trees: fancies, follies,
memories, madnesses,
mysterious fears, and
more mysterious hopes. -
