Well, I just wanted to get in a quick post about the change of season and the implementation of the new translation of the Roman Missal....so:
It's advent again. Look forward in the coming few weeks to a YouTube serenade right here on Coast to Coast OSJ!
The new translation....how was everyone's experience? Was it awesome, or was it awful? (If you're smart enough to know that those words are not necessarily antonymous...gold start for you, my friend). Personally, it went very well on my end, although the very first Mass in the new translation (a Saturday vigil) did have one significant departure from rubrics: They sang the Gloria. I guess that after such hype, and so many weeks practicing it during Ordinary Time, they forgot that, despite implementing the new translation (ample cause for praise and jubilation), Advent is one of the seasons in which the Gloria is generally not used. But, other than that, it went well. Feel free to blow up my comment box telling me about your own experiences. Funny stories will get you bonus points on the final, which is coming up in a few weeks!
Other than that, things are well. I had a good Thanksgiving at an Oblate parish here in California, and enjoyed spending a little quality time with my confreres. How 'bout y'all?
And here, a haunting version of one of my favorites for the season by Irish singer Enya:
