Rose Vestments

Granted that this picture is from Laetare this year - the same rose vestments were worn today. No pink! The parish Mass was still in the penitential violet, and though numbers were up, nobody really sang. It's quite saddening.

The Catholic Action generation lost their children. Now the grandchildren of those whom Father Trese speaks so fondly of in Vessel of Clay are unable to understand half the humour in his book - like shrugging off a jabbed toe going up the altar step with an 'oh well - Introibo ad Altare Dei!' It's all so stupid and frustrating.
