The Day After

It's a good thing I wasn't at work yesterday, because it turned out that I did indeed need the whole day to prepare for the Grail Mass: not just finishing memorizing the key texts, but doing things like buying new candles and a green tablecloth for the altar cover. (The OAG changes the color of the altar cloth and the central candles for each season.)

Spending the whole day immersed in ritual preparations and focusing deeply on the text was a . . . . [searching for a word here]. . . rich experience. For the first time in a long time I felt the reality of my ordination rather than just the fact of it.

( The ritual itself was an interesting experience. )

Edit: Better, more complete conclusion behind the cut.

Belated Thanks

Thanks to caersidi for this lovely icon of Keira Knightly as Guinevere in the upcoming movie "King Arthur."

Guinevere is a major figure in my personal mythology, and I love discovering new portrayals of her.
