[Michelina]

You beat me to it, Ben!

Happy New Year in Christ to ALL! ​

 

[Brother Charlie]

Our deacon said that last Sunday so

Happy New Year to you all too....maybe we should give rep & blessings over this

 

[Carrye]

Who's got the champagne?

 

[Michelina]

Conditor alme siderum,
aeterna lux credentium,
Christe, redemptor omnium,
exaudi preces supplicum.​

Perhaps Caroline could help with this:

Venez, divin Messie,
Sauvez nos jours infortunes;
Venez, Source de vie
Venez, venez, venez!​

A little Catalan from PP?

Something Spanish from Maria Paredon? Or Art Nalex?

Something German? Polish? Gaelic from Shannon McCatholic?

Or maybe we should stick to English:

O Come Divine Messias
The world in silence waits the day
When Hope shall sing its Triumph
And sadness flee away.​

Or something like that.... ​

Happy Advent! ​

Michelina,

I always accuse a friend of mine of making up languages. I am now extending that accusation to you as well.

 

[Brother Charlie]

No I think that Michelina really does know them all

I am accustomed to such treatment, ma glafel Carrie, as are all the great saints.

 

[Brother Charlie]

I am accustomed to such treatment, ma glafel Carrie, as are all the great saints.

Oooh! Michelina, youve just lost some cool points, for calling yourseld great! Of all people why would you be full of yourself

Charlie, it's a joke between Carrie and me. She's my best friend on OBOB and we kid each other all the time. (She's also a brilliant young lady, in case you haven't noticed, and truly lives to please God, which is even more important.)

 

[Brother Charlie]

Now I feel like the dumb one.

Yes, I havve noticed that she is very smart.

 

[Michelina]

Now I feel like the dumb one. Yes, I have noticed that she is very smart.

No, you're not dumb, Charlie. You cannot be judged on what you don't know. Ask Miss Weisenheimer Skinner. You are just "learning", like the rest of us.

 

[Carrye]

No, you're not dumb, Charlie. You cannot be judged on what you don't know.

You're not dumb at all Charlie. Never, ever be afraid to ask your questions or make observations. It is how God created you, and that is always something to be honored and utilized.

Ask Miss Weisenheimer Skinner. You are just "learning", like the rest of us.

I know not of what you speak, dear Michelina.

If you nourish your life with personal and liturgical prayer, if you are supported by the advice of a spiritual guide, you will not be afraid to face the world. On the contrary, you will face it with a calm, positive, and open mind. -- Pope John Paul II

 

[geocajun]

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, which marks the first day of the new liturgical year!

Soooo, let me be the first to wish you all a Happy New Year

 

[FullyMT]

Happy New (Liturgical) Year everyone!! May the Word we hear throughout the Liturgy inspire all listeners to go out and share the Gospel with the world.

Advent is my favorite liturgical season, a time of refreshment. If you follow the Liturgy of Advent Masses and the Liturgy of the Hours in the Breviary, the themes coalesce at Christmas, my favorite Holy Day.

Yay! Happy New Year's!
