After hearing what you had to say about the graces recieved, I thought "how can you not bring your kids to Mass?"!<br />~MaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344656636155548459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-84533380735400430802014-10-12T21:51:38.063-04:002014-10-12T21:51:38.063-04:00If the Mass is the Cross, then some of the lyrics ...If the Mass is the Cross, then some of the lyrics and hymns I've heard recently (not just in my own parish) seem to be shortchanging the vertical bar (God-to-me. Me-to-God) in favor of the horizontal one (Me-to-others. Others-to-me). There is an altar for the Holy Sacrifice, not just a "Table of Plenty" where "All Are Welcome", correct? When I was a Protestant, in some denominations the "love feasts" and the "fellowship" were often emphasized to the exclusion of the idea of worshiping a thrice-holy God. I know that both the vertical and the horizontal present the truth. ~ Rosemary A.truthfinder2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02677700018308197978noreply@blogger.com
