I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us. I would like an abundance of peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures of mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside over all. I would like Jesus to be present. I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us. I would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all parts. I would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should suffer distress, that he would bestow a good blessing upon me. I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings. I would like to be watching Heaven’s family drinking it through all eternity.

‘I would like to be a great lake of beer for the King of Kings..’
Like that!
Btw, you’ve persuaded me. I’m going to do a series of posts on music. Got one up already. I just hope I don’t let my secret identity slip, like the elastic on Batman’s mask..;)

Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.

We do like our alcoholic beverages 🙂

Berenike,
If you do not take down that abomination ‘Jesus wants you for a sunbeam’ I am going to throw a half brick right through the screen of my laptop to come out of yours. Ok?
PS I still want to know what your music solution is..please, please, please..?

And before anyone else says it, I know that it is never difficult to distinguish between a Scot with a grievance and a ray of sunshine..:)
