(From the cover):
A man’s soul is as full of
voices as a forest, there
are ten thousand tongues
there like all the tongues
of the trees: fancies, follies,
memories, madnesses,
mysterious fears, and
more mysterious hopes. –
G. K. Chesterton

No Place for God,
by Moyra Doorly -
Which was recommended
to me by Joseph Pearce,
biographer & editor
of the Saint Austin Review -
(at the recent Chesterton
conference I was fortunate
enough to attend).
Am finding the book on
church architecture inter-
esting. I haven’t finished
it yet, but will say that while
I understand that recent
church architecture (unfor-
tunately) reflects the recent
age, we have to acknowledge
that, whether we like the
design or not, He’s still there.
Imo, like everything else made
by man throughout history, only
some are exceptional to behold.
This is my opinion. Beauty, practi-
cality & content aren’t always
found altogether. If today’s
churches do not seem reverent,
well – the content is still there.
The function is the same, even
if it’s not awe-inspiring to behold.
I vaguely remember altar railings -
but mostly attended Holy Mass
in the gymnasium/cafeteria of the
local Catholic school after the beauti-
ful church building was sold.
Grew tired of the guitar-strumming
minstrels with their sweet but simple
tunes.
Would read all the readings for
the day before Mass even started,
then sit staring at the incredible
Crucifix on the wall next to me,
where I’d always sit in the back.
And as mundane as it all seemed,
you could tell that He was there.
& the reverence, though expressed
somewhat differently, was still
there, too.
Couldn’t resist the book of
music – got the choir edition
which is helpful as I’m an alto
& need it for the parts.
Both from Ignatius Press.

I went to a Chesterton conference this past
weekend, with the most wonderful speakers…
Included were two of my favorites – Dale Ahlquist,
the President of the American Chesterton Society
& host of G. K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common
Sense on EWTN (usually on Sunday @ 9PM ET
& Thursday @ 10AM ET) & dear biographer &
editor of The Saint Austin Review, Joseph Pearce.
All I can say is, pardon me…
I’ll be doing a lot of this
:) !!!
for a while!

Everybody’s changing
their look -
& I do believe I may
have started the trend,
when I switched to a
lighter shade of pink.
