The good thing about the Flu Season is that it's just a season - not our ongoing reality.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-51365768507693558922009-09-27T11:42:18.177-04:002009-09-27T11:42:18.177-04:00I keep thinking of things that I want to write abo...I keep thinking of things that I want to write about "flu-charist." <br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />I love these cartoons and your musings Elizabeth, but how I worry.<br /><br />There is such a movement among many in the RC church to use the flu to undo things that they just don't like- such as the kiss of peace and drinking from the cup.<br /><br />It makes me very upset.<br /><br />As I see it, one should feel free to not participate in drinking from the cup, but that the cup should be available. To see it on the altar table and consumed only by the prirest, deacon and so forth, but denied to the community smacks of a lack of generosity that is not of Christ.<br /><br />Oh see, it takes so little to get me on a rant!<br /><br />PS- my stepdaughter has a cold, which seemed to take a huge step forward in development at about the time that mass started. I asked her not to give peace and to not drink from the cup.<br /><br />She was not happy, but complied. Just trying to apply good sense where needed.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-88041633604335098392009-09-26T17:52:04.134-04:002009-09-26T17:52:04.134-04:00Clumber - I think I know the guy.

This in from KJ<br /><br />As a borderline germaphobe (Family litany: "Borderline?), I get a bit of a chuckle out of the new concerns. Welcome to my world!<br /><br />Having said that, unless I have a nasty cold, I always head out to greet others during the peace. In our large, cathedral parish, there are always the "looky-loos" present, but we are also a bit of an island of misfit toys with other misfits at different levels of brokenness checking us out. So, I share the peace, which I think of as more of a prayer than a greeting.<br /><br />AND, the really big news is that I can now take Communion from the big cup with the grown ups. It took awhile, bit I did it!Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-60870905488640626482009-09-26T13:26:45.626-04:002009-09-26T13:26:45.626-04:00This is great, Elizabeth!

He also had a nice comparison of new lay readers who tie into some of Paul's longish sentences and the wait in the lines for rides at Disneyworld!
