Yesterday I traveled to Marian Valley for the great feast of the epiphany.
It was a full blown Solemn Mass. We had 6 servers and I was the MC.

Here are the opening rites. Father wore a nice roman chasuble and final tested out his new monastic amice. He thinks the amice looks too sloppy, but I quite like it.
Here is the cencing of Father. The Saturday before I was also at Marian Valley and we had a bit of trouble with the thirble, my favorite line of Father's was "It's buggered, Fix It".
The preface.
After coummunion we had the blessing of the chalk and a special hymn to st Paul the first hermit in Latin (it's part of a novena for the feast of St Paul the first hermit). I'll be sure to post a copy of it in the near future and have summa theolgica translate it into English.
