    Just like the book of acts, we were at the 9:15 mass and while Communion was being distributed, the building shook. In our case it was not the Holy Spirit, but actually it was a 3.3 eathquake. It happened during Communion and the whole place shook for 3 seconds, lights went out and it was pretty scary. But to everyones credit, we missed only one beat of the hymn and everyone kept singing!

  • The offertory antiphon for Easter Day: Terra tremuit... perhaps it was just 'tremuiting' a few weeks late.





    (I never fail to be astonished (or something) at all these pictures and cartoons, and their aptness and cleverity, that our members come up with at the drop of a hat. How do you do this?)

    Concerning the offertory "Terra tremuit," it does not really represent an earthquake; rather it represents the resurrection. On "dum resurgeret" the melody rises a seventh to a peak with reiterated notes. On "in judicio Deus," a rising fifth plus a third suggests the call of a trumpet suitable for judgment.
