Listen to it all (It begins with the reading of the gospel) [It is an MP3 file]. It occurred on the occasion of the Bishop’s confirmation visit yesterday to Saint Paul’s in Summerville, South Carolina.
Here is a quote to whet your appetite:
“What is astonishing to me I suppose is that we in the church make so little of the Ascension of our Lord.”
Well, he would have been astonished at our sermon yesterday, when the Priest explained that “we really don’t know what happaned”, after all these folks could only describe things in the context of their experience”..

Well, what does the good bishop expect we should understand about a holy day that’s deemed so insignificant, it’s been shuffled off from its proper day on Thursday to the following Sunday. Even most of the Catholic Church in the US has gotten lazy.
Glorious.
