Era Might Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Happy Feast of the Dormition/Assumption of Our Lady. "Arise, O Lord, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might." --Psalm 132:8 "The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Then the king gave a great banquet to all his princes and servants; it was Esther's banquet. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces, and gave gifts with royal liberality." --Esther 2:17-18 "And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." --Revelation 12:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I love this day. I am so happy I get to go to Mass tonight instead of a short daily Mass at noon. Blessed be our Holy Mother. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 PhatMass and facebook reminded me what today is. lol I had been planning for it all week and when I woke up this morning I thought it was Thursday. It was a nice Mass, if the homily was a bit out of the norm. We had a visiting priest who asked questions that he expected us to answer; I think he was testing us to see how well we knew our faith and if we knew why we were there today. They were really just one word answers but he asked half a dozen in the first half of the homily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Didn't wake up for Extraordinary Form. Going to Ordinary Form (not celebrated with the reform of the reform in mind.... *sigh*) tonight. Wish there was a Reform of the Reform Ordinary Form or Eastern Catholic church nearby.
