Lætare!

I was glad when they said unto me: we will go into the house of the Lord.
For St Patrick’s weekend, after Mass this bagpiper played ‘Scotland the Brave’ and ‘The Lincolnshire Poacher’.

And then, Hospitality Sunday in the undercroft: ‘Irish potatoes’, zeppoli (for St Joseph’s Day tomorrow – too close to St Patrick’s Day to be noticed; Italian-American feasts are in the summer: St Anthony, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St Donato, Assumption, St Rocco and St Januarius/Gennaro), doughnuts, coffee and talk about the latest in Vatican talks with the SSPX and on politics (my libertarianism or a Catholic king?).
