Training Recap - St. Patrick's Day

We finally were able to have practice after the last two cancelled training sessions. The Seraphim had good numbers today with 5 out of 7 able to make it. We were finally able to work on the rubrics of Lesson #1, having spent over two months working on the Latin. Next session will see us conquering Lesson #2 and going through Lesson #3. Be prepared as each lesson will be more demanding in knowing where to move, when to move, and how to move.

Seraphim Homework:
  1. Watch the videos on this blog to assist with being comfortable with Lesson #1.
  2. Using the server cards and the little white book (How to serve Low Mass & Benediction) to review and know Lesson #2 and go over Lesson #3.
  3. We had some Seraphim who were very competent with the Latin. Everyone needs to be comfortable with the first part of the Mass. Review it as much as you can. When it's time to actually serve, being comfortable with the first part will make a huge difference.
  4. Go to the Wednesday MEF at St. Ann's. Experience what you are learning about.

The Cherubim had a poor turnout due to many factors. David R. made a cameo appearance for our first training session back on the Missa Cantata. With some more revisions to the cards, we breezed through a practice run. Highlights to changes will be posted later.

The Cherubim are encouraged to acquire a breviary, the Liturgy of the Hours, so that we can pray evening prayer at the training sessions. You can either get Christian Prayer, or if you're really motivated, you can get the four volume edition!

Our journaling prompt for this session was: God loves me. Sin can distance us from the Lord. Sometimes we have difficulty receiving love as a consequence of sin. Remember God loves you know matter what happens.

Next practice is March 30th at the regular times. See you there!
