In case you want some mostly old-timey autumnal-ish music, here’s a playlist I made last year
open.spotify.com
Harvest Mix
Slightly spooky, slightly melancholy, slightly cozy, mostly old-timey music for autumnal listening

So what’s up with MBTA naming inconsistency? Why are the stations Porter and Davis on the red line, but Magoun Square and Union Square on the green line. I think the “Square” bit is extraneous

One of the breweries I was at today had the ominous twin peak music playing in the bathroom and I thought I was going crazy

I’ve found it very easy for agents (talking Opus basically) to have a strong tendency to dive down rabbit holes instead of actually buikding out the prototype we planned

I’m really loving the start of my reread of An Essay on the Development of Doctrine, so be prepared for plenty of St John Henry material

Wait how do Protestants who don’t have a role for celibacy in their communities interpret 1 Corinthians 7, St Paul seems pretty insistent that there’s a role for the unmarried

I had read Dare We Hope last month, so I decided to pick up Prayer by HUvB. This is a really different book, having a bit of trouble getting into the right mindset to read it

I learn to love the Pauline Epistles more and more. 1 Corinthians 15 is one of my favorites: “We will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”

I guess national politics is different, but it’s crazy how many institutions you can be given pretty big responsibilities in after showing a bit of consistency in showing up

When folks pray the LotH in a group setting and pray the Psalms antiphonally, do you do the Glory Be all together? Or in the alternating order? Or leader/rest of group?

Happened to be reading GOD MATTERS by Herbert McCabe OP, and immediately remembered this
In the 1956 restoration, as in the ancient rite, the baptismal font is seen in essentially sexual terms. It is seen as the womb of Mother Church fertilised by the entry of the Holy Spirit, and this is seen in the phallic form of the lighted paschal candle entering the waters. Christ's fertilisation of the Virgin Mother Church by bringing her the Holy Spirit is compared in this liturgy to the fertilising of the primaeval waters, the waters of chaos, by the breath of the Spirit, in the reading from Genesis 1. So the bringing to new birth of believers in the womb of the Church is united with the bringing to birth of the universe. In the rite the priest is instructed to lower the lighted candle into the baptismal water in three stages, penetrating more deeply each time, and each time singing on a higher note: Descendat in hanc plenitudinem fontis virtus Spiritus Sancti. It is quite plain that an impression of mounting excitement is meant to be visibly, tactually felt. It was a very strange and primitive ceremony in the middle of the night. Finally, when the candle has reached its deepest point, the priest is to blow three times on the surface of the water in the form of the letter V (psi). (There are liturgists who say this is no more than the sign of the cross but others see it as the initial of psyche, life.) The priest then continues: totamque huius aquae substantiam regenerandi fecundet effectu; the Latin brings out the full resonance of regenerandi and fecundet.
As the candle penetrates the water it is said to be entering hanc plenitudinem fontis: the 'fullness' (fem.) suggests the fullness of mother

Reading Herbert McCabe’s GOD MATTERS, it’s really cool how many theological muddles you can cut your way through with the continual emphasis on the Creator/creature, being itself/a being distinction

Introduced my little parish discussion group to Evening Prayer today! It went over very well, the guys really liked it. I love the LotH, but have been gotten some mixed responses before. I made these little handouts to try and make it as straightforward as possible. Seems to have worked.
