How I miss the high mass at St. Mary's! I am at St. Mary's of the Angels and its a very small church (I'm sure we could fit several in St. Mary Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Jesus). Fr. David is very soft spoken and gentle and the mass is so very relaxed. Everybody holds everybody's hand during the Lord's Prayer and everybody shakes everybody's hand during the sign of peace (even during daily mass). Now, this isn't an altogether bad thing (although, I'd rather not hold hands during the Lord's Prayer... ). It's nice, once in a while, but I miss the high mass very much! I really enjoy Father Newman's homilies and how everything is so reverent and elaborate. I really do. And our alter servers! I got so used to them, it was a bit of a shock to see the little girl carrying the cross down the aisle.... I so look forward to my visit home, to my home parish. I have already told my house mates that I must come home for the Easter Tridium (my favorite)!
Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me.
