inundado por um mistério de luz que é Deus e N´Ele vi e ouvi -A ponta da lança como chama que se desprende, toca o eixo da terra, – Ela estremece: montanhas, cidades, vilas e aldeias com os seus moradores são sepultados. - O mar, os rios e as nuvens saem dos seus limites, transbordam, inundam e arrastam consigo num redemoinho, moradias e gente em número que não se pode contar , é a purificação do mundo pelo pecado em que se mergulha. - O ódio, a ambição provocam a guerra destruidora! - Depois senti no palpitar acelerado do coração e no meu espírito o eco duma voz suave que dizia: – No tempo, uma só Fé, um só Batismo, uma só Igreja, Santa, Católica, Apostólica: - Na eternidade, o Céu! MJ's note: Saw this over on Fr. Z's blog. Good stuff. :) Re-posting here for your reading enjoyment.
Beretta?
I hereby re-post what I already offered here.
From a reader:
Can a beretta be used in the OF? When would it be used?Yes, without question! But make sure that it is clean and in good working order so that it doesn’t misfire.
I would use the beretta primarily when there are too many extraordinary ministers charging the altar. Another possible moment would be when the choir sings On Eagles Wings or another ditty of that sort.
I have learned through hard won and tough experience that you should immediately reload!
To save you and everyone else that embarrassing hitching up of the alb and digging in the pocket for a clip … errrr…. magazine…, have one … or more … ready on a silver salver covered with a linen cloth about the size of a corporal. The altar boy, or if it is a more solemn occasion, deacon, can bring you clips magazines as you should need them.
The beretta should be cleaned after the purification of the chalice and before the final prayer and dismissal.
The congregation will be quite patient and will not leave before that final blessing, believe me.
[No actual extraordinary ministers of Communion or pop-combo members were hurt in the making of this blog entry.]
