Rejoice And Be Happy

I was going to write a boring old post on some of the editorial wins (e.g. in-line proper prefaces, like for the Baptism of the Lord today) and fails (e.g. in-line music in the Communion Rite, which, let's be honest, won't get used much) in editions of the new English Missal, but let's have something fun instead. Like some encouragement from the forever wonderful Violent Femmes:



Rejoice and be happy when men revile you, just like our Savior told us to do. Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.

Blessed are you who are persecuted too, for righteousness and the good that you do, if in the bread you put a little leaven, the Kingdom is yours and it's the Kingdom of Heaven.

Rejoice and be happy when men revile you, just like the Savior told us to do. Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.

Ye are the salt of the earth, if you're not salty, what are you worth?

Rejoice and be ye exceedingly glad for great is the reward in Heaven to be had for the prophets they did persecute too, unjust though it was, they came way before you.

Rejoice and be happy when men revile you, just like the Savior told us to do. Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.

We are the salt of the earth, if we're not salty, what are we worth?
