Goodbye

“Did you cry out for anyone?
Did you get to say goodbye?
Did the blood dried on your face,
did you cry out for any one?
Did you get to say goodbye?”
– from “Say Goodbye” by Brother

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May all the souls of those who died in the Indian Ocean earthquake, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
May the Lord bless and keep the loved ones of the deceased.
May He shine His face upon them.
May He lift up His countenance upon them and give them peace.
Amen

Merry Christmas

May the Lord bless you all on this day as we recall when the Bread of Life, with
which the Good Shepherd feeds His sheep, was placed in a manger (a trough for animal
feed) and the faithful said to one another, “Come. Let us adore Him.”.

During Lent last year, the Saint Mary’s campus did the traditional Stations of the
Cross and a new Earth Stations.

Turgi said the Earth Stations recalled the suffering of the Earth as the body of
God.

Can you say “heresy” boys and girls? I’m a big fan of being good stewards of God’s creation, but this just ain’t kosher.

Theomorph presents an interesting view on sacred versus profane Christmas debates. Unlike a lot of secularists, he’s not hostile toward religious expression. Perhaps it’s because he was once Christian. Then again, maybe he’s just a nice guy. 😉

On a somewhat related note, here’s an article about the growing popularity of Festivus.
