Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
Father Charles. Thanks for upholding tradition. This looks like a nice vestment. My parish has relegated a beautiful rose set to the back of the closet, while using a new unadorned rose vestment in a fabric that appears to be burlap (or something close thereto).
ReplyDeleteAs I expected, it was all purple, all the time, in my parish. I don't even know if we have any rose vestments there.
ReplyDeleteWe have lovely rose vestments with purple velvet and gold piping for trim. And blue eyed clergy who really look great in rose ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised more parishes don't use the rose, since it sets the day apart very distinctively.
Maybe the non-blued-eyed feel silly wearing "pink."
Beautiful -- well done. I admit I am jealous and covet they chasuble.
ReplyDeleteI did not know rose vestments were used during lent until your post.Being confused, I googled Laetare Ierusalem and was fortunate enough to be led to another blog which explained its meaning:
