Happy Beethoven’s Birthday!
Today I resolve to listen to the Ninth Symphony, and probably the Third as well. You should too!
Yesterday evening I attended our parish Advent Reconciliation Service. I arrived late, having had to walk up the hill from downtown, and of course I ended up dead last in the longest line for confession.
It gave me some additional time to examine my conscience, but it also afforded me the opportunity to observe people going into and out of the confessionals.
It’s amazing to watch people walk out of the confessional; it’s like they’re floating on air.
