I was away this weekend - but normal musical service continued. It is probably best not to record my liturgical experience; it did make one appreciate again that those things one thinks of as normal, such as, just singing parts of the Mass is not a universal experience.
Looking back at this most Marian of Sundays I suspect this Mass might have better reflected this. However, it would also have seemed odd not to have sung O come, O come Emmanuel. In some ways this Sunday has a sense of 'why are we waiting' — increasing the numbers of 'Come, Lord Jesus'.
