Today at Mass we had a priest who was visiting from the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska. He was in the area visiting a friend and was not use to the traffic and thus missed morning Mass. He got on to the internet to look at Mass Times for this city and found the 12:00 Mass at the church I go to. When he got there he informed them that he was there and wanted to co-celebrate the Mass. For what ever reason our Pastor was not able to make it there to celebrate Mass and if this priest had not shown up we would have had to have a communion service instead. This was very fortunate since this Mass was to be said for the repose of the souls of my wife’s parents. He chanted the Mass beautifully and I was able to lower my liturgical abuse detectors and pray the Mass.

God IS good.
Wait a minute.
You prayed for the “dispose” of your wife’s parents’ souls?
I didn’t know we could do that.
P.S. Forgive me if I found this funny. I’ll add a prayer of my own for the “repose” of their souls.
Thanks Karl,
I got the error corrected.
Good correction, Jeff. I thought you had turned on us…
