I was reminded today that Frodo wakes up in the House of Elrond on this day, the Feast of the Archangel Raphael, who is a guide to travelers, bringer of healing, and dispeller of demons.
Every time some Anglican liturgy breaks through into the popular consciousness and people talk about how beautiful it is, how meaningful, I'm like "yes, exactly. And it isn't just for the famous/powerful. These liturgies are for everyone."
Churches, if you’re not going by your posted schedule on holidays/for the summer, please make changes on your website. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve showed up for mass or morning prayer, only to find out there was nothing happening/nothing posted on the website or anywhere
@DrKPirnieFunk @scottagunn @EvanDGarner The alternative is... not as good. I was visiting at some church and I got really excited to see this hymn in the mass. I was extremely disappointed when we actually sang it because it was the alternate tune.
