Next Wednesday (Ash Wednesday) Lent begins. Is your music group singing at any of the Masses?
No, we haven’t been asked to do Ash Wednesday. The Spanish-speaking people will be scattered throughout the day: men on the way to work at 7:00 a.m., women with children at 11:00 or 4:30, and anyone else at 7:00 p.m. I’m taking most of my family at 4:30; I’ll be a lector and the Confusion Brothers will be altar servers.
I suppose I should be talking about a Spanish music element at the Easter Vigil, though. We have half a dozen or so catechumens and candidates. When they were introduced at the Mass a couple of weeks ago, my 6-year-old son heard “candidatos” and said, “Mama, all those people are Canadians!”
