Today is the day! Hard to imagine that it has been exactly one month since I've been in St. Louis playing for a Mass celebrated by the Most Rev. Robert Carlson, Archbishop of St. Louis. Today I will play for a Mass to celebrate the restoration project of St. Peter's in Lindsay celebrated by the Most Rev. Kevin Vann, Bishop of Fort Worth! The past few days have been a little hectic in the office as we tried to tidy up in little bits here and there; even the church received a few small touches yesterday. The organ is in tune (mostly!) and the choir at their last rehearsal on Sunday sounds prepared. It has even been threatening to rain this morning! It is dark and overcast, and the roll of thunder is heard often. It would seem an odd thing to want rain on a day like this but, all of north Texas hasn't had rain since June I think.
In other news, I read on the New Liturgical Movement blog that the Holy See has delivered an 'ultimatum' of sorts to the SSPX regarding reconciliation with Rome. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has given the Society an explanation and criteria for interpretation of certain Vatican II documents that were of issue with the Society. I personally think that this is the most the Church can do; please pray for the reconciliation of the Society.
