Nonetheless, the point is quite valid for those who may not (now or in the past) attend Mass on these feasts. <BR/><BR/>I have always been somewhat confounded by the fact that we celebrate furniture--the Chair of Peter. But, we celebrate buildings, etc..., why not a chair? It goes without saying that we're obviously celebrating something which these inanimate/material things represent.<BR/><BR/>Though I would agree that indeed Christ being our redeemer to resolve the issue of that <I>felix culpa</I>, I ended up using the part which says, "Of this night, Scripture says..." because I was figuring I would have a baptism that evening and found that passage spoke directly to the effects of baptism: <BR/>* "dispels all evil"<BR/>* "washes guilt away"<BR/>* "restores lost innocence"<BR/>* "brings mourners joy"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119200.post-43536183010838475082008-02-21T21:52:00.000-06:002008-02-21T21:52:00.000-06:00THE GLORIA IS IN MASSES DURING LENTFEASTS AND SOLE...THE GLORIA IS IN MASSES DURING LENT<BR/><BR/>FEASTS AND SOLEMNITIES TOMORROW<BR/><BR/>THE GREAT FEAST OF THE CHAIR OF ST PETER---ALL WE GET ---FURNITURE<BR/><BR/><BR/>THE EXULTET---FOCUS ON O HAPPY FAULT O NECESSARY SIN OF ADAM<BR/><BR/>TO SEND SUCH A REDEEMER<BR/><BR/>THAT IS MY FAVORITE PARTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119200.post-39744852102684945582008-02-21T16:41:00.000-06:002008-02-21T16:41:00.000-06:00Greg really hit the mark with this post.

In addition to missing the Alle-word that Greg wrote of, I know that I personally miss the Gloria at Mass. I remember, during my junior year of college, a good friend of mine asked me how my Easter break had been. I responded - surprising even myself - that "It was so great to hear the Gloria again." <BR/><BR/>Longing for Easter.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932204856603503195noreply@blogger.com
