And Blessings to you, also.
I may have mentioned I am going to take a week away from home at a small Dominican Priory and research the word "emeth"= "truth" in the OT. I had been toying with the idea for this project (which I'm sure wiser, holier, and better scholars than I have already done) for a while before I had the "duh" moment of remembering that the motto for Dominicans is "Veritas".
And I mention that as intro to say that, as we Christians 'know', THE Truth is a person who calls out to us in love, and says "seek my face." So I rejoice in the kinship that all share who respond, "Your face, O Lord, will I seek."
I have to thank Him for His promise that those who seek will find.
Scripture during Mass is a Good Thing, since of course the same lectionary and the same basic pattern of readings went on in my former denomination, nothing has changed as far as the quantity (but of course, Everything has changed, on a different level.)
But, given the variable audibility or intelligibility on the part of the readers (although our deacons have good strong voices so nobody misses the Gospel), not to mention screaming babies and the inevitable distractions (especially if you sing in the choir and you're not quite sure what the offertory anthem is going to be) I think reading/study at home is a very good idea.
My Greek is pretty rusty too, with the additional disadvantage of having learned it as Classical and then Homeric Greek -- I will say that koine is very straightforward (mostly - St. Paul gins up some pretty complicated clauses sometimes, even in English).
But I'm going to get a GOOD dose of Greek this evening. The Patriarch of Constantinople is in town, and our choir is participating in the Ecumenical Service, representing the Latins. There will also be the Greek Cathedral choir as well as a brave buncha Bible Baptists (who will no doubt sing rings around the rest of us). We're going to sing the Litany of the Saints, as a species of compliment to our hosts and the guest of honor with all the Greek Church Fathers inserted, then the chant Ave Maria and the Victoria Ave Maria.
