I somehow found my way back to being a cantor at our church after two years of this triplets hiatus, and our choir director threw me right into the swing of it. Last night, I sang Caccini/Vavilov's "Ave Maria" for the meditation song. It was a beautiful blessing to sing for Our Lady on this Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception. In the words of St. Louis de Montfort: "Everything through Mary, with Mary, in Mary, and for Mary, in order to do it more perfectly through Jesus, with Jesus, in Jesus, and for Jesus."
After Mass, my wonderful friend Caterina and her daughter and parents came to our home and blessed us with their JOY and LOVE and HUMOR. There is nothing more wonderful than Italian friends! Everything was "belle" this and "bambini" that and funny attempts to translate through the Italian-English language barrier. To share Mass (and fellowship afterwards) with good friends, beautiful music, and pure devotion is a blessing from God! Amen!
