When I am laid, am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

No yeah exactly. IMO it had outlived its usefulness in several ways but uh,,,, we've circled back around to needing it so I guess it's for the best to have it?

IDK man, this is a real "different strokes" scenario to me. I have a lot of kids and a silent low mass by myself is one of the best possible prayer environments, to me.

If you have little kids with you and you're taking care of them in the pew, and that's taking your conscious attention away from the readings and the prayers, that just means caring for them *in church* is your worship for the day. Relax

Catholics love to talk about how you need to always be doing the most to prove your love and devotion to God, but what if it's ok to just Be.

Real talk though this is one of the best things you can do at Mass. You show up. You refrain from doing stuff that would take your focus away from Mass (no phone, etc) and you just sit there / go through the motions and be a sponge soaking up your surroundings

You kids have fun with the liturgy wars. I'm still shell shocked from my service in the last one

Reading through the Reformation in my daughter's history lessons last year had me like, dang, I think I'm actually grateful for this. They're right, the word of God should not be chained

Most places I've gone to the EF, the priest has read the readings again in English at the top of the homily.

We have a cast iron griddle that goes on top of the stove, AND the stove in the new house has a built-in griddle. Makes pancakes 4 at a time. 5-6 if you add another big skillet.

Might make it even cheaper next time by using ground flaxseed in place of chicken eggs in the batter

Flour is cheap. You can't really eat raw flour. But it's a really quick trip from flour to pancakes! Especially if your recipe measures by weight and you can just dump stuff in the bowl on the scale.

Also I like to chop bacon into pieces before cooking it in the Dutch oven.

This administration is turning me into a constitution-loving patriot for the first time in my adult life

Going for a walk so when I come back into my house I can really smell the ham and split pea soup. So many wonderfully enriching experiences are free.

The lamenting is a permanent condition. Goes along with the self-immolation.

Please say a prayer for us. I messed up something really major.

Despair, and also, a recognition of his own impending mortality
