  4. Dear pj10Qu: This really is not the place to sell drugs online. First of all, you won't get any customers, so you're wasting your time. Second of all, you need to get a job that does some good in this world rather than preying on people's weaknesses. Send forth your spirit, Lord, to convert the heart and mind of your child pj10Qu. In the name of Jesus.

    I've already posted one song by Dorothy Norwood, but here's another, "Victory Is Mine." The words are very simple, the melody is very simple, but that means that everyone can sing along, and you can add your own verses as the spirit moves you. It starts with the chorus three or four times, then goes into verses (which follow the same melody as the chorus). But it's a very joyful song, You'll find yourself humming it. And it fits with today's first reading.

    "Wondrous Love" (also known as "What Wondrous Love Is This) is a very traditional hymn. The lyrics are from around 1811; the melody is a couple of hundred years older than that. It started showing up in the shape note hymnals in the 1820s and following. It's in the Dorian mode, which is a different scale than the typical one we use these days. This rendition is by Blue Highway, a group that is usually classified as bluegrass but which is really more like a roots group. They start with a mandolin intro and then go into a cappella singing, ending with a sort of an a cappella round.

    I know I've posted a number of songs by Sister Shirley Caesar, but I'm posting another. "Peace in the Midst of the Storm." I thought this was a pretty well-known standard song, and I looked for recordings by other people, but I found only one or two others, and they weren't nearly this good. I found other songs on the same theme, but I like this one much better.

    Sallie Martin (1895-1988) was a friend of Dr. Thomas A. Dorsey, the Father of Gospel Music. She was never as famous as he was, or his student Mahalia Jackson, but she did collaborate with him in establishing a Gospel music convention, selling his music, and so forth. Here she sings "Little Wooden Church on the Hill." It features a recurring them in Gospel music, remembering the simple but honest church experiences of one youth - something we don't hear in Catholic music. Sister Shirley Caesar sings about it, and "Come to the Church in the Wildwood" is another example. Anyway, this is pretty rare because she didn't perform as much as others in her crowd. She starts with a short little preach and then segues seamlessly into the song. Also, there's a sound in here I can't identify - it could be a soprano singing "oooh," but I think it's actually a musical saw!

    @Lou and @Nunsuch Thank you both for the information. I will definitely check in with my community, but it does look like I need someone to have authority over my account, as I won't be dealing with monetary affairs in the convent (such as when tax season rolls around...) Yes, other possessions can be kept at home (car, clothes, etc) but bank account, email, and cell phone have their own specifics, the latter two being terminated before entrance. I will talk with my community and also my spiritual director who is a canon lawyer for my diocese. Thanks also for the wonderful article!

    Do you mean by people who troll around on religious chat boards, trying to sell completely unrelated items? If that's what you mean, then yes.

    WOKE

    What is the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time year B? The readings for the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B are filled with images of growth. The first reading tells of planting a shoot on a mountain, which then becomes a shelter for the birds. And in the gospel Jesus tells the parable of the seed that grows and the parable of the mustard seed.

    The Nunc Dimittis is a prayer, also known as the Song of Simeon or the Canticle of Simeon, found in Luke:2, 29-32. It is included in Vespers or Compline, whichever is the last liturgical prayer of the day in a given monastery. And since I post these songs at the end of the day, the Nunc Dimittis seems appropriate to the time. This setting was composed by the English composer Gustav Holst (1874-1934). It's eight-part harmony - two parts each for SATB. That, and the lack of a definite pulse or rhythm, give it a floaty, celestial feel. The lyrics are Simeon's words in Latin, followed by a Glory Be in Latin. I include the Latin lyrics and their English translation here because they're nearly impossible to decipher from the singers, even though the singers are very good. That's the problem with this kind of music compared to traditional Gospel songs - you have to already know the words to catch them in a performance... or you have to read along in the program. And you have to know Latin, too. And the English translation of the Latin. But it is beautiful music. Latin (Vulgate): Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. English (Translation of the Vulgate): Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

  26. “How is it that you have no faith?” Our Lord’s question in today’s Gospel frames the Sunday liturgies for the remainder of the year, which the Church calls “Ordinary Time.” In the weeks ahead, the Church’s liturgy will have us journeying with Jesus and his disciples, reliving their experience of his words and deeds, coming to know and believe in him as they did. We know in life people suffer. But we want to know why, and we want reasons, and we want it all to make sense. This is where today’s First reading comes in. After insisting that he is innocent and God is to blame, Job once more demands to know “Why?” And the Lord answers Job out of the whirlwind and says what we just heard. Job asks “Why?” and God says, “(Where were you).. Who pent up the sea…” Did you notice that what God says to Job is not comforting? It’s not reassuring, and it certainly doesn’t answer Job’s questions about why these terrible things are happening to him. In fact, God never says anything at all about Job’s troubles. Instead, what God says to Job is “I’m God and you’re not.” Which, at least on the surface, is not terribly helpful. What God says, as powerful and as beautiful as it is, doesn’t directly respond to what Job is asking. God never says anything about “Why?” Notice that God doesn’t tell Job that everything will all turn out all right in the end; God is making it very clear he is not a transactional God— like a vending machine or an ATM. We don’t put in the right behaviour or say the right prayers and thus are sure to get the result we want. It just doesn’t work that way. . What is most important for Job and his questions, and for us, is not what God said. What is most important is that God spoke to Job. God, who did lay the foundations of the earth, who did shut in the sea with doors, who does comprehend the expanse of the earth—this same God reaches out to Job. God speaks to him and offers relationship—not answers, not quick fixes, not what Job wants—but relationship. Again, God is not a God, giving guaranteed results. God is a God who offers and seeks relationship. That’s enough; God seeks and offers relationship. That’s what there is; that’s all there is in this story. Something very similar is going on in the story of Jesus rebuking the wind and storm. The point here is that Jesus is always in the boat and that he is awake. The promise is not that there will be no storms that the disciples will always be safe. That’s not the way it is, and Mark knew that perfectly well when he told this story. But what the disciples and the Church learned early and never forgot was that, wherever they were, and whatever was happening to them, they were not alone. Their Lord was there—he was with them, knowing them and loving them and never letting go. As with Job and the disciples, what the Lord offers us is relationship—his presence and his love— and not answers, in the middle of whatever we have to face. Like Job, we have caught the ear of the one who laid the cornerstone of earth; like the disciples, we are never alone, no matter what happens to that boat, or to us. What God offers is relationship—maybe not often in the form of a voice from a whirlwind, or as a handy miracle that fixes things, but most often in a gentle reminder that we are not alone, and that God is with us and shares our pain. If we look for that, if we look for the loving presence of God himself, in the very heart of whatever is happening, we will find it. We won’t find answers or exemptions or solutions, but we will find this. It is not always what we want or hope for, but it is there, and it is real, and it is enough.

    Canonically, your property is your own until perpetual vows. I'm not sure what canon law says about control and use of the resources, and that may be more flexible, depending on the community. For example, some communities may ask you to put possessions in the trusteeship of someone (usually a family member), until its final disposition at final vows. In some communities, particularly ministerial ones, sisters may be permitted even to bring their cars and then, at final vows, they would need to either sign it over to the community or get rid of it. [By then, of course, it might be rather old!] Talk to the community. Until at least you are in temporary vows, I would not dispose of anything of real value (If you have a substantial bank account or investments, for example). Some people even continue to pay into retirement accounts, or have a family member do so. It's all so dependent on your particular circumstances. If you have any doubts, and if you don't think the community is giving you answers as detailed as you would desire or that your circumstances require, talk with a canon lawyer (there are some in every diocese). By "property," I'm not talking about something like a coat or a pair of shoes; but about real property. If you are in a community that wears a habit, of course, secular clothing won't be necessary (though some groups continue to wear it through candidacy). If you are in a community that wears secular clothes, then you will probably be expected to bring your own, with perhaps some restrictions on how much and what kind (does the community permit jeans in "offtime"? Are you permitted to wear pantaloons when engaged in ministry or going to classes? Etc.) As with so many things, ask the community. Never be afraid to ask questions. For the record, I did. NOT use the word "pantaloons" in what I wrote! Coincidentally, a link to this JUST came up in my email feed, and it may be be useful or at least of interest. https://www.globalsistersreport.org/columns/learning-detachment-during-nun-migration-season The link I provided is to a column written by a sister who is also a theologian, by the way.
