ÉRASE UNA LUNA DE INVIERNO (2014). El Padre Friel comparte un villancico compuesto por San Juan de Brébeuf, patrono de CCWatershed. En el himno, el padre de Brébeuf utiliza conceptos tradicionales de la religión Huron para transmitir la historia del Nacimiento de Cristo. Esta es “inculturación” en su sentido más verdadero y más saludable.
Let’s not minimize the role of the psalms in the mass to the Responsorial! Plus a FREE download of the Epiphany Communion antiphon.

* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)
Traditionally on Holy Thursday, the priest washed the feet of thirteen men. Theologians held various opinions regarding whom the “13th man” represented.

This “coin” business seems providential—inasmuch as our appeal begins on Holy Thursday this year.
