“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

I love it. It gives one the holy giggles.
All those images of TLM sprouting everywhere, like the one above in PA give me hope that we are making our way out of the desert…but images of a monstrance made out of an A&W can by a child REALLY give me hope… for the FUTURE!
It is after, all about the children, right? :-)
Thanks for posting it, Father!

Lovely. Our parish still has first communicants create felt banners. So when my oldest son’s turn came, he made a beautiful sunburst monstrance.
If the world gives you lemons …
Oh how I wish our parish would host an alternative to halloween. Sounds like a project for our family next year. Presently we have our own little private party.
Our cleaning lady’s 9 year old daughter is going to her school as St. Anne for halloween. Our cleaning lady is not Catholic and prior to working for us faith played no part in her often troubled life. Pray for them both.
I just showed my 7 year old the monstrance and he was impressed. Looks like a project for our house coming up!
Our parish – St. Margaret of Scotland in Oceanside – is having an ‘All Hallow’s Eve’ party on Saturday night. They will light a bonfire in the big piazza’s firepit, followed by square dancing and a buffet of delicious desserts. The children who want to dress up will choose to represent their favorite saint.
This is better than some “real” monstrances. This summer on pilgrimage I saw the Eucharist carried by a priest using a small wooden stand about four inches high, with no luna and no decoration. It was, in effect, a wooden clip to hold the Sacred Host upright.
But these kids have got it right!
taximom —
Tell the kids to dress up as Bl. Terence Albert O’Brien, Dominican, bishop, and martyr, hanged on Halloween by bad ol’ General Ireton!
Extra points if you let the kiddies carry around a noose as an attribute or pretend to haunt the general’s dreams with predictions of doooooom.
Lovely!
That kid is way more inventive than me.
Oh, this is so cool!
Suburbanbanshee-I’ll have to look up Blessed Terence Albert O’Brien-never heard of him!
This is adorable!
