Here is Caleb at Mass this morning. We're one month away from his First Communion. Where on earth has the time gone? But isn't he handsome?
We celebrated Easter here in North Carolina, at our "home" church. The liturgy was gorgeous. All bells and smells and no restrictions on kneeling.
He is risen indeed.
One especially approves of the priestly vestments.

Beautiful! You had no restrictions on kneeling, while it appears we had restrictions on hearing beautiful music! Blech! We had a drum machine and horrible music! blech, blech, blech!

He's adorable! Happy Easter to you and all the family.
Are you in the Raleigh diocese by any chance? (That's where we are now.) Bishop Burbidge is such a blessing!

We are in the Charlotte diocese, which is also great. Thank God for NC!

Good to see a priest wearing dignified looking vestments, unlike the usual "magic robes" from the 1960's and 1970's that a lot of the "enlightened" liturgists wear.

Hi Summer,
I'm glad to say I'm born again the old fashioned bible way. By the sacrament of Baptism. Just check out Acts, and also Jesus last command Mat 28:19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Just the way the original church did, so does the original church do now.
