I perused your blog, and I have to agree on your son's friend's advice regarding the Grand Canyon. Go to the South Rim. As he said, you indeed won't believe it's real, but you WILL believe in God even more than you do now.<br /><br />God bless, and happy driving!<br /><br />Jon Kabel, Lancaster, PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051809345203103341.post-46015329653038166992009-05-05T13:15:00.000-04:002009-05-05T13:15:00.000-04:00Let me add, Tina, that it was just a wonderful tre...Let me add, Tina, that it was just a wonderful treat and pleasure to meet you, after having admired you keen insight at Father Z's blog and having corresponded at a distance. Alice and are so glad that you and Dennis were able to pause in the Knoxville area on your way west. As for our "Z-fest", here is a note that I wrote to Father Z about our rendezvous both holy and joyful:<br /><br />"Father Z: One of the rewards of WDTPRS is the sense of community it fosters among far-flung but like-minded Catholics who without your blog would never have a chance to know (or even hear of) each other. But, given an opportunity to meet face to face, find that they instantly hit it off like long-lost friends, relishing especially the consciousness of shared Catholic identity and perspective that your efforts have kindled among so many of us."<br /> <br />"This past weekend 'Tina in Ashburn' [Tina Hertz Evans] and her husband traveled through the Knoxville (TN) area on their cross country RV trip. Before and after a nice EF high Mass celebrated by Fr. John Arthur Orr, the esteemed chaplain of the Knoxville Latin Mass Community, we enjoyed sharing some instant camaraderie and fond Z-memories. It was a small Z-fest, only the two of us and our spouses and Fr. Orr, but where even two or three are gathered ....."<br /><br />Finally, for any traditional purists who may be reading here, I might mention that we don't have vernacular hymns during Mass -- apart from a recessional following the concluding Marian antiphon (Regina caeli during Eastertide). This Sunday, however, we had a first Holy Communion, so the choir sang the "O Lord I am Not Worthy" as is traditional for this situation.Henry Edwardshttp://www.knoxlatinmass.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051809345203103341.post-73996529775699112742009-05-05T13:11:00.000-04:002009-05-05T13:11:00.000-04:00Someones stats are going to increase :)
