A testimonial!

Caveman has bestowed upon me
and nine other bloggers his
E for Excellence Award.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
I now bestow upon the
following bloggers,
quoting Great and Wonderful Oz:

“Back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phil....er.....phil...er...er....good-deed-doers and their hearts are no bigger than yours, but they have one thing you haven't got! A testimonial! Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection. And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.”

Just resting my eyes

RRROFLOL!

I heard the funniest comment today. This elderly woman was complaining about the conspiracy in the church regarding the restoration of a Catholic identity with all the Latin, Gregorian Chant, and reverence. Yes, ma'am. It is a conspiracy. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are causing all the ruckus. Imagine that.

Buh-bye

The Honest Prayer

A woman had invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"

"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say," her mother answered.

The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, this is the last time I invite all these people over for supper?"

On Holiday

Sancta Missa, we have loved you

Ode to Sancta Missa
(Sung to the 50’s hit “Mona Lisa” Artistic liberties taken)

Sancta Missa, Sancta Missa, we have loved you.
You’re so like the heav’nly Mass in the sky.
Is it only ‘cause you’re Latin they have blamed you?
For that Sancta Missa belongs to you and I.

Do you live to tempt a lover Sancta Missa?
Or is it your way to grace a fallen heart?
Many prayers have brought to your altar,
And they live there and they grow there.
You are warm, you are real, Sancta Missa;
Not simply a cold, and lonely, lonely work of God.

Do you live to tempt a lover Sancta Missa?
Or just a great and lovely, lovely work of God?

...

Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll be here all week.
