The Knitting Collect

01/11/2013

At this time of year when we think of All Saints we get a collect that always makes me think of this picture of Herself knitting.

Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

I don’t know whether Almighty God likes knitting us all together but I can easily imagine Our Lady having a go.

Thanks Tim. I found google sky already. Indeed, it was one of the things that persuaded me.

Now I can see the constellations in the city! Indeed, now I can see the constellations in my bedroom.

SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.
Enjoy the ‘phone!

Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

  I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.
  
  Whatever you are looking it is what google thinks should be aimed at you. I see no ads offering girlfriends myself.

I do hope I’m not the only one getting “Spy on your boyfriend” ads! 😉

I see no ads, which beats the Scientology ads that I used to see!

I have nothing to ad because Padre has forbidden it.
