The sporadic ramblings of Emily C. A. Snyder - devoted to God, theatre, writing, and much randominity.

Oh, how delightful!

For the Lord God, omnipotent, reigneth!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
And He shall reign forever and ever!


Regard this charming poem by Belloc: Poetry Archives @ eMule.com. Oh, Lord, how long have we prayed and prayed and felt despondant because we had no shepherd, we had no good and faithful and fearless priest to serve us! How long have we taken on faith the sacraments, because You seemed ever more hidden in Your servants, hidden by them. And today - alleluia! - we have a priest! A wonderful, faithful, holy priest, completely in love with You, desirous to be Your servant first and foremost, a priest of prayer, a sacramental priest, a priest in love with You in the Eucharist, a priest in love with Your mother, a priest in love with Your Church, a priest forever in the line of Melchisedeck! Alleluia! I am dancing; I am so grateful!
