Isn't he beautiful?
She also had fun acting silly with his big sis':
Friday, September 14, was the Feast of the Exhaltation of the Holy Cross as well as the official start date of Pope Benedict XVI's recent Summorum Pontificum. In honor of both of these events, Bishop Perry, an auxilliary bishop from Chicago, came to celebrate a Pontifical High Mass. The Mass was full of inspiring reverence, beauty, ceremony and an indescribably tangible dignity.
Saturday we visited the historical St. Joan of Arc Chapel at Marquette University. The history of this medieval chapel is worth a read. It is believed that St. Joan of Arc prayed in this very oratory. Unfortunately, we arrived minutes after it had been locked up for the evening. Ah well, next time.
Sunday was the baptism of Joseph Paul, for whom The Prof and I are blessed to be Godparents.
The ceremony was performed according to the Traditional Latin rubrics and included the "Churching of the Mother."

The weekend was slow-paced, rich with quiet conversation, happy reunions, delicious meals and leisurly (daily) drives along Lake Michigan. Oh, and the old familiar feel of cooling Autumn afternoons and crisp mornings. Yes, a lovely and very worthwhile adventure.
