The homily was on repentance. The "Prayers of the Faithful" included pleas for both world peace and the unborn.
Afterward I met up with Rebecca, who suggested I come to this fun little women's club event in November. There's going to be champaigne; she made a big point about that - I guess I look older than I am ;) Also, after Adoration last night, the lady who always wears a mantilla came up to me and asked if I had a ride home. I told her I did, and I did, if I wanted one - my roomies always offer to drive me places, just 'cuz they're nice like that!
Anyway, at Communion time we chanted Ubi Caritas, like last week - I guess to get us ready for the Procession a couple weeks from now. It was lovely. I still have it stuck in my head! It was nice to hear a priest singing Latin at a Novus Ordo, besides :)
The only problem is that after Easton and my general laziness, I have a ton of homework left to do! Urgh. Say a prayer that I get it done. And please pray for my sister, Betsy, who lost her cell phone (and a lot of phone numbers!) this weekend. And most of all, pray for the victims of the Asian earthquake - 20,000 dead, last I heard. Horrible.
Incidentally, today was the beatification for "the Lion of Muenster," so named because, during his time as bishop, he delievered many courageous anti-Nazi homilies and took a strong stand against euthanasia and other Third Reich tactics for eliminating the "unfit." Cardinal (now Blessed) Clemens August von Galen died in 1946; he is now one step away from canonization.
