Vatican changes dates for 2008 Annunciation, St. Joseph feasts: Whoa. I’m okay with moving the Feast of St. Joseph. Its tie to a particular date isn’t as strong. The Annunciation, however, is supposed to be a specific date. Nine months before Christmas Day: it makes sense that way. I’d expect a homily for the Annunciation to make note of that correlation, but now that option will be gone in 2008. Sure, the octave of Easter is important, but can’t the Annunciation share one day of that time?
An old editorial from Ignite Your Faith (Christianity Today for teens) struck me as particularly insightful. The point she makes about missing parts of our spiritual lives is worth noting.
Lorelle (what a pretty name!) wrote a good blog post commenting about how not to comment. Along with the Harris Twins Blog Commenting Policy, that’s pretty much all you need to know to make commenting happy and fun (or at least useful).
