Light, light, light — again.

When the reform of the liturgy was happening one of the first parts which had to be revised was the Calendar and I am slightly surprised that the Presentation of the Lord 'knocked out' the Beatitudes - as my impression is that generally celebrations which take the place of Sundays don't interrupt the flow of the readings.

We did sing the Beatitudes. They form the verses of What does the Lord require? and we tried a new version with more melodic verses.

We had a Baptism this morning at Mass which we have had not had for a long time. Even so some things do not change as we only discovered before Mass that it was taking place. If nothing else to would nice to include it in the Mass leaflet and invite people to remember and pray for the child.
