"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

Matters Liturgical...
Our senior MC is quite strict on correct attire at our Extraordinary Form Masses. One of the servers ruefully pointed out that his socks hadn't quite passed muster, and he was going to have to change them.
"What's wrong with them?" I asked. So he showed me.
It seems that Jonathan isn't a fan of Dangermouse...
Oh.
ReplyDeleteBut I always wear my DM socks when I serve mass.
Hey, at least it wasn't those wheely sneakers with blinkin' lights.
ReplyDeleteJ.B O'Connell says that the Acolytes should wear slippers...
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world did he find Dangermouse socks?! I want a pair!!
ReplyDeletePatricius,
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard of the guidance about slippers, but never seen it observed.
Knowing some of the 'novelty' slippers you can buy these days, I wonder what the servers could make of it...!
(a couple of thoughts below...)
