Now we were much more grown up and didn’t need any of that. And of course kneeling was the stuff of peasants – not for us grownups. It’s hard not to see the work of Satan and his <i>”non serviam”</i> in all of this.<br /><br />How much we have lost was brought home to me recently by my daughter. She had gone to a bookstore called “Mystical Rose” in another town and came home marveling: “I didn’t know Mystical Rose was a title of Our Lady!” Embarrassment – for me. She should have known and I should have ensured she did.<br /> <br />Despite having gone to Catholic Grade School, Catholic High School and survived College still a practicing Catholic, she had never heard of the Litany of Loreto. I noted, weakly, that had we still had the popular devotions of my youth she would have been familiar with all of the titles given to Our Lady. Mea culpa.GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598228705498900088.post-55432227337347306742011-06-22T12:12:34.646+01:002011-06-22T12:12:34.646+01:00Father: Thank you so much for this post.
