Today as promised, after Benediction, we had the new rose vestments blessed.
Here you can see two of our senior servers training up three new recruits in the correct angle at which to join their hands...
And then the blessing itself...
"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Lovely photo. I especially like the fact the one of the 'new recruits' (2nd from left) has a cassock that is just a fraction too long for him at the moment. Reminds me of the school uniforms we were bought as children with 'rooom to grow'.
Oh how triumphalist! We did away with that with Vatican II
;-)
Heheheheheh...
