Approach to Advent
Time for heroic virtue.
Received in the mail and enjoyed reading an article on “Keywords: Baseball, Bartlett’s, & Barzun,” by a good reader of Barzun, John Adams.
Thanks to SMAN, attended at the Palace a Christmas concert given by the Albany Symphony. J&IH were to go with us, but IH was ill, so we took T&RA. Besides the orchestra were several choirs, a group of young Irish step dancers, and a bell choir. The sound seemed muted in the first half, louder in the second. I wonder if the orchestra itself is electronically amplified. A Musicological Journey through the 12 Days of Christmas, by Craig Courtney, was truly horrible. A pretty young mother across the aisle made think again of how much more beautiful CH could look.
The most afflicted souls are those chosen by the divine heart. . .
— Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, quoted in From the Friars
