Mawage

As a wise man once said, “Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday”…

“Just as priests and religious lay prostrate as they make their vows to God, we felt called also to make this act of love during our wedding. As one of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal C.F.R. chanted the Litany of the Saints, both Cristina and I laid prostrate (Cristina with a little difficulty in her dress!) as we vowed to take on the  cross that we had each previously carried as singles. Lying there defenseless, we both committed our lives and souls to God by entrusting them to our spouse. We committed our dreams and goals and our past and future in sacrifice to one another”

Liturgical Dance

UPDATE: I saw this on Brandon Vogt‘s Facebook page…

A good friend told me a story this weekend about a priest he once knew. The local bishop was visiting this priest’s parish for Mass, but before Mass began the whole assembly was treated to an elaborate liturgical dance. It was the real-deal: hand-scarves, dresses, music, tambourines, hand gestures, and more.

When the dance was over, the bishop slowly turned to the priest and whispered in his ear: “If they come up and ask for your head on a platter, they’re going to get it.”
