Holy is God!
Holy and strong!
Holy immortal One,
have mercy on us!
Ancient acclamation for the Veneration of the Cross
This being Good Friday, there was some coming and going today. The keeper headed back downtown for a Tre Horae Service at the cathedral. She was so taken by the preacher, an Irish Dominican, that she didn't want it to end. He had the rare ability to weave short scripture passages, poetry, writings of the early church, contemporary writers, including those on death row, into homilies which spoke to the hearts of all in very accessible ways. And the combination of the Haydn music for the Seven Last Words and the sun pouring through the oculus made for a profound afternoon. We have a feeling that she will soon be bringing home a CD of this so we can listen with her.
