What Pope Benedict said about clapping at mass, it’s not an option if you know what’s going on. It’s not a party or even entirely a commemoration or a rejoicing in one another’s presence . . .,. . . or entirely a holy meal celebrating sisterhood and brotherhood per membership in the Mystical Body . . .

Regrets are a pain in the behind. And lots of other places. They can consume you if you don’t watch out.

Solution lies somewhere between accepting God and accepting God very much.

Don’t worry about overdoing it. That won’t happen. In a million years it won’t, which is short for never.
