Quiet day at the early Mass at St. Stephen this morning. No choir. Hymns were Bunessan (Praise and thanksgiving) for the processional, Wareham (O Jesus, joy of loving hearts) for the offertory, and Darwall's 148th (To God with gladness sing) for the recessional. All very nicely Anglican. The communion marching music was a responsorial "The Lord is my light and my salvation," a familiar antiphon tune that was oddly ignored by the congregation (sometimes when the ditty is familiar, a few will softly sing along). Sleepy homily dissecting the Lord's Prayer (from this morning's Gospel), so I perused the hymnal.
The eye candy was pretty substantial this morning. Highly distracting. Yes, indeed. Very.
A personal journey through faith as a moderate Christian and former choir boy.
