There is lots of painful stuff we as Church have to answer for!<br />PGRock in the Grass (Pete Grassow)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16908394938958237614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22889487.post-70280190008393054072007-01-18T17:12:00.000+02:002007-01-18T17:12:00.000+02:00If they want the sacrament, serve it! The priest ...If they want the sacrament, serve it! The priest is already treading across sacramental lines by allowing the sacrament of marriage to take place outside of a Catholic sanctuary. So, if he wishes to elevate the holy Eucharist above the sacrament of Marriage, then that is his choice, not yours and not theirs.<br /><br />Let the means of grace be a means of grace. If he is bound in un-grace because of the stance of his denomination let the grace of your celebration fill the whole universe with the message of Christ who was also rejected by those he graciously gave himself to!<br /><br />You are Christ's and so is the sacred table, and the fallible Church. Let no church edict render the grace of Christ valueless. Your ordination gives you the right, and the joy of making His grace visible, even in the midst of un-grace....digitaldion (Dion Forster)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06749856358000663200noreply@blogger.com
