So true! We’ve been reading Salvation’s posts of Msgr. Pope’s prolific writings, and finally went to his parish (where he baptized our granddaughter), We have returned on a few occasions when it’s been possible. For the first time in decades, it feels like being in an honest-to-God Catholic Church (although my husband insists it’s Baptist-Catholic, given the incredible, uplifting music and participation at the predominantly African American congregation).
Sounds as if Msgr. Pope’s congregation is getting great preparation for the Glassy Sea!
Revelation 4
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 And †they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
