>>I would be on my knees instantly! Now, how about you?
At age 64 with a severe knee injury in one leg, and two pins in the other foot - courtesy a Vietnam-era Air Force flight school parachute injury, I thank the Lord every day I can get up from my bed and walk. Frankly, if I had my ‘druthers, I’d be flat on the ground with my face in the dirt (check the Hebrew testament for references) in His presence. Sorry, can’t do that very well any more.
As the pendulum swings from the “Father Feelgood’s happy time” sermon days, we should be aware that it can also swing a bit too far in the opposite direction.
I know theoretically the pendulum could swing too far, but it hasn’t happened yet — even in our Latin Mass parish here.
