When in Rome...

Missed the Divine Liturgy today.

Colds. The whole crew.

But, on my sloppy walk with my happy dog - coughing and sneezing in between stanzas, I sang the appropriate Roman song for the Eastern Feast I missed,

Lift high the Cross,

The Love of Christ proclaim,

Till all the world

Adore His Sacred Name!

And I sang it just loud enough to be disturbing to the few who walked the sidewalk with me and Dixie-Lou. While I wait for Divine Liturgy to arrive again this coming Sunday, I will attend Mass in the Roman half of my Church during the week and on Saturday. I said to my dog today, "The longer I live, the more ticked off I get at whimpy Catholics, the more Catholic I become. Isn't it wonderful that I can take the Eucharist East or West?!"

She licked a tree.

I think I have become that annoying lady who doesn't realize when her half of the conversation is no longer interesting - at least - with Dixie.
