Snow Jobby TOFSnow so white, snow so whiteAll this morning you greet me
Heaps of white deep and bright
I am not happy to meet thee
Vista of snow may you loom and grow
Loom and grow away from hereSoft and white, quite a sightBetter on postcard than near, t'me.h/t Rogers and Hammerstein
Not that deep here, but still -- I have stayed safely inside today.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of wusses does your bishop think you are? If you can't endure a little snow, how will you handle the persecutions when they come?
ReplyDeleteSt. Alphonsus' book on canon law says that we can be let off the obligation to attend Mass if there is moderate danger to one's own body or soul, or to that of others; or if there is some other moderately grave problem with going.
ReplyDeleteHe also said that if you live more than 15 minutes' donkey ride from church, that was onerous enough that the pastor can let you not attend.
