Two Sacraments and a Dance

I don't blog about work too often, but today is one of those interesting combinations of events that makes me appreciate just how diverse this existence of ours really is... I work at a Catholic Church, and today we are hosting an Advent Mass with the Anointing of the Sick. Following that, I will join my Associate Pastor as he presides over a funeral. And later this evening, "DJ Jazzy Greg" spins the hard drive at a local school dance.

 So it's a Mass offering hope to those who are sick, and in need of God's healing touch; a funeral celebrating a long and happy life with an eternity of grace to follow; and a middle school dance to blow off a little steam before mid-terms! Hope, eternal grace, and a dance party...

This weekend is the Third Sunday of Advent ("Gaudete"), and what I always refer to as "Think Pink Sunday"! It's a weekend of Joy, knowing that the Christ who is to come will truly save us! Have hope, and may an eternity of grace flood your existence, and give you the energy to truly "dance the night away!" (cf. Isaiah 9:2 - "A people who walked in darkness have seen a great light!")
