I thought it was the subway rumbling under my feet in the sacristy here at Holy Redeemer in NYC. Quick thinking acolyte Brother Stephen added a collect against earthquakes to the Mass I just celebrated.
Earthquake epicenter NJ. Magnitude 4.8.
Prayed in particular for families today with lovely mosaic of the Holy Family before me at holy Mass. Paschal Lamb in stained glass canopy above.
Antiphon for office of Saint Vincent Ferrer today: “ Et ecce terræmótus factus est magnus: Angelus enim Dómini descéndit de cælo, allelúja. There was a great earthquake; For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, alleluia.“
I dunno, maybe it's me, I just keep getting the feeling God's trying to TELL us something. He'll put an exclamation point on it Monday. Come Lord Jesus! Maranatha! Have mercy on us, O Lord.
