"Hath not a [None] hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?"
We mourn like you do but more like a wake than a solemn funeral mass. It involves being more personally involved in the process rather than leaving it to the clergy.
I too want Ave Verum Corpus played at my wake, not for religious reasons but because it's the most sublime 43 bars of music ever written.
"How will the "nones" mourn?"
ReplyDeleteTo quote Shakespeare with one change :
"Hath not a [None] hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?"
