A most interesting post, Salvation!

I learn so much about the traditions and history of the Church by reading these. As you know, I am a convert, so posts like this are fascinating to me. Thanks!

Neat stuff! Today’s our pastor’s 45th anniversary of his ordination; big party at church tonight.

We’ll be singing “O Purisima!” at the Spanish Mass tomorrow in honor of the Presentation (”Candelario”), which is a major holiday in some Spanish-speaking countries.

I've always loved the Bible account of St. Simeon and his moving words, and also the brief story of Anna the prophetess. Anna's story is a reminder that women played substantial roles in the new covenant times.
