More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Corinthians 12:7-10
Hah! Fashionista!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photo. I wonder what the occasion was? Glad you had the date and location. If I had to guess it looks like a May Crowning done by a Ladies' Sodality. In most processions usually the men do any carrying of statues. First time I've seen a photo of women doing that particular task.
ReplyDeleteGem, a May procession at St Michael's and St Martin's, Hounslow. My eldest brother left of priest, my two eldest sisters were the front carriers. Crowning done by the May Queen, the bearers were Children of Mary - right on the money.
DeleteOh how lovely!
DeleteDoesn't our Holy Father know that "ev'ry thing old is new again"?

FASHIONISTA
"Old Mass? Just a kind of fashion!"
When Masses were mellow
Every Priest, a real fellow
No need to remember when
‘Cause ev’ry thing old is new again.
Daily, the Sacrifice of the Mass
What-a-ya know, it didn’t pass
We still pray now like they did then
Ev’ry thing old is new again.
Get out your rosary, your black and white veils
Let’s go backwards as the modern mess fails
And the Latin words you thought were long dead
You’ll find in your missal, English black, Latin red.
Don’t throw the past away
It’s your foundation as the new fashions sway
The True Faith’s intended, intended for men
When ev’ry thing old is new again.
So get your rosary, your black and white veils
Put it in backward when forward fails
Leave the new fashion designers alone
Be the Faith’s fashionista on your own.
And don’t throw the past away
Absolute Truth will forever stay
“Behold! I make all things new.” so then…
Ev’ry thing old is new again!
