Our Popes, In Picture

Unfortunately, there will be too few of these pictures, I am sure. If you contemplate what you are seeing, you will realize that at very few times in human history was such a picture possible - at no other time when the camera had been invented!

And here is one of my favorite shots. It's my desktop background:

Best Singing Group I've Heard in Church

I've been privileged to have heard David Rashed and his small group at the 5 pm mass at St. Dunstan's Cathedral in Charlottetown, PEI, these last two weeks. Rashed was a member of the band, Haywire, back in the day. This group epitomizes good liturgical music, even if Praise and Worship isn't your thing. I didn't think it was my thing until I heard them! Why I say they epitomize good liturgical music is that they actually serve the mass. The problem with talented artists is too often they allow themselves to become the focus of attention, because their spiritual development isn't synced with their musical development. But the members of Rashed's group are servants of the holy mass.

So if you are on the Island this summer, please take in that mass. You won't regret it.

I have a soft spot for St. Dunstan's - not because of its beauty - it is beautiful! - but because Anne-Marie and I were married there, nearly fourteen years ago.
