She still refuses to have communion brought to her - she’s going up the steps and KNEELING at the altar rail! We had to forcibly retire her from sacristan at 100 - is there a force of nature stronger than old Anglican ladies formed by literally a century of liturgy and prayer?

I have this goal in mind! Our oldest parishioner is 102. She’s finally starting to decline so I’m really hoping to get down an oral history from her soon.

I also have a story I can’t share publicly but was so grateful and counting on it SO hard for a very practical reason that he went to Mass before dropping the writ (when the election was called)

“He’s a serious Catholic, and prayer is an important part of how he keeps grounded. It’s not a stretch to imagine that he prays for humility. Whether God grants it is another question.”

It’s nice to know I share something with the PM.

If I’m dead and anybody does a life celebration of me, I’m haunting their ass. No celebrations. Pray for my soul; proclaim the resurrection; beg for mercy on my behalf; I am HOPEFULLY in Purgatory.

The Canadian plainchant psalter has all the psalm notations in “normal” music rather than square notation, so it’s far easier to just play it on a piano or something - not sure if playing it is an option for you!
