Gosh, the Salve Regina is a wonderful prayer anyway, but it really hits home in the context of a funeral.

I liked the litany of saints. Great to hear Rose of Lima invoked (and I think someone may have been working naming more women?)

Not shortened this time!

Hearing the Litany is always such a vivid reminder that the Church really is built on the martyrs and those who gave all.

Also, once again amused to be reminded that I managed to buy the Vatican’s preferred cotta for choir dress, because apparently I’m sometimes much more modern Roman in my tastes than I like to think…

It’s a good cotta, though. Well made, tasteful, affordable.

Meanwhile, you say Salve Regina and I’m off to watch the best film of the nineties. Not quite the same solemnity but it was a film that drew me closer to God as a child and taught me a lot about worship.
I am in that classic paradoxical place of being sad and glad about the Pope.

I'm basically happy for Francis - he did his duty to the end and I'm glad he didn't have to linger. But we will miss him very much.

A man who remained faithful to loving and serving the least, the last and the lost, even when it cost him his own comfort and health.
