Happy New Year!

Oh, and speaking of chocolate…

Less than four hours left…

Friday Frivolity: Wrong Worship
Following the rather interesting discussion that has recently been going on at St. Joseph’s Vanguard, I thought this would make a good Friday Frivolity entry:
Christmas Thoughts
Those of you who know me will know that I’m someone who is not a very “Christmas-y” sort of person…
Why?
Well, it’s probably partly because all my childhood recollections of school between September to January are dominated by memories of interminable carol rehearsals! I hate shopping at all times of the year, but especially during the Christmas rush. I hate picking up pine needles and I think fake trees are, well, fake. I don’t like the dark or cold which I usually associate with Christmas. I always look forward to the extraordinary liturgy of the Church at Easter, but at Christmas it is largely unchanged. And finally, nothing annoys me more than the saccharin-coated cheeriness which seems to be induced in people every December.
As I carry this cross…
I’ve pretty much had this song on loop all day:
“Pain is a forest we all get lost in, between the branches hope can be so hard to see. And in the darkness we’ve all got questions, we’re all just trying to make sense out of suffering but You say I am blessed because of this so I choose to believe. As I carry this cross…”
Wise Words on Wednesday: St. Teresa of Avila
“Let nothing upset you, Let nothing startle you. All things pass; God does not change. Patience wins all it seeks. Whoever has God lacks nothing: God alone is enough” – St. Teresa of Avila
