View from the choir

I am a Catholic layperson and Secular Franciscan with a sense of humor. After years in the back pew watching, I have moved into the choir. It's nice to see faces instead of the backs of heads. But I still maintain God has a sense of humor - and that we are created in God's image.

Easter hymn

Join, then, all of you,
Join in our Master’s rejoicing.
The rich and the poor,
Sing and dance together.
You that have fasted
And you that have not,
Make merry today.
Christ is risen:
The world below is in ruins.
Christ is risen:
The spirits of evil are fallen.
Christ is risen:
The angels of God are rejoicing.

-- Early Easter hymn credited to Hippolytus
