From Wedding Dress to Baptismal Gown

Twenty-five years ago, my sister made my wedding dress.  She has now made a beautiful baptismal gown for her granddaughter from it.  The original train was left in tact.

Oh Worship the King!

On the Feast of the Epiphany, our parish hosted our Bishop, Kevin Rhodes. As I remember, everything went surprisingly well. This week, a parishoner has displayed all the photos she took of the occasion and has offered people copies. As I looked over the pictures, I noticed how beautiful the sanctuary was, with all the Christmas decorations. I also noticed how exquisite the priests' vestments were and how handsomely the parishioners were dressed.

Then it occured to me--why do we not take this much care in the quality of our worship every week? Jesus is far more important and is present in the Blessed Sacrament every day.
