All Souls Day
In some traditions, Requiem masses are not permitted on Sundays (which commemorate Resurrection) so All Souls would be transferred to Monday. But I say it's all one.

Well, tonight’s headlines don’t make for restful sleep. So I’ll just leave the titles and we can look up the details on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteTrump says he’s ordered Pentagon to ‘prepare for possible action’ in Nigeria
Pentagon shifts to Pacific strikes seeking stronger link between targets and US drug trafficking
Trump considering plans to target cocaine facilities inside Venezuela
Why is there so much talk about nuclear weapons this week?
He must be petrified of the Epstein files. One begins to wonder if Johnson is named as well.
DeleteHeather Cox Richardson’s daily letter begins tonight like this:
ReplyDeleteYesterday I wrote that President Donald J. Trump’s celebration of his new marble bathroom in the White House was so tone deaf at a time when federal employees are working without pay, furloughed workers are taking out bank loans to pay their bills, healthcare premiums are skyrocketing, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are at risk, that it seemed likely to make the history books as a symbol of this administration.
But that image got overtaken just hours later by pictures from a Great Gatsby–themed party Trump threw at Mar-a-Lago last night hours before SNAP benefits ended. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel The Great Gatsby skewered the immoral and meaningless lives of the very wealthy during the Jazz Age who spent their time throwing extravagant parties and laying waste to the lives of the people around them.
Well, dear ones, lift up your hearts. We will band together and not permit these horrible humans doing disgusting things to become normalised. Let us continue to call a spade a spade and a perversion a perversion.
