You know, it's said when you sing, you're praying twice. While I certainly understand the longing for the pre-Vatican II days, the problems that the media feeding frenzy are ruminating on have always been there; it's just that news is now instant and anything they want to target they can. Remember, Jesus Christ was talked about and eventually crucified. Christians have been persecuted for centuries. This is just more of the same. It's all part of our Daily Cross. I just try to remember to offer it up.

I believe that, among others, St. Augustine (one of my favorites) said that...I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but I have an excellent ear...and music lifts me up to hope many times when nothing else can...I'm praying for LaBelle, I was in a similar circumstance once, and I do believe she is closer to God now than at any other time in her life, and He to her...God can bear our anger, can wipe away our tears...by dying on the cross, He showed that He doesn't let Himself off the hook, by suffering with us, He shows His undying Love...
