No really - you can't

No really - you can't take it with you!

Go read "Penny-pinching Prior Lake priest paid homage his way" (link via it's a mystery) I won't spoil by commenting too much on it, except to say I like this old priest's style:

[Father Bill] Seefeldt "dearly loved the church," but he was an old-guard, Ten Commandments-kind of priest, Thompson said. He would arrive to say Monday mass with his worn book of the saints and notes for his homily. He didn't much like new songs in the Gather II hymnal.

"So I made up a 'Father Bill Hymnal' with old songs that date to the late 1940s," Thompson said. "He'd hand it out at the beginning of every mass."

That would be my goal as a priest - to have a hymnal cobbled together of all my favorites and have it named after me.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
