Thanks to The hermeneutic of continuity for alerting me to this marvellous juxtaposition of carven prayer to Christ and His Vicar sprinkling holy water, as if in answer to the petition - for God delights to work through secondary causes to distribute blessings and deliver His flock from evil:


Christ conquers:
Christ reigns:
Christ rules:
Christ from every evil
his people
defend.

This evening, having gone to Low Mass of St Gregory Nazianzen, Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor, I then had some dinner with Fr Rowe and got a copy of the new music roster from him, then came home and have just sung Compline with my housemates: a good end to a very tiring week (which is why there haven't been any posts since Monday).
