Magnificat 17/01/2012
Benedicite, omnia opera Domini, Domino ; laudate et superexultate eum in saecula...
Satisfied now ? Of course I know Latin (used to, they've gone very quiet lately)
This is what it means...
Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord, praise him and exult him above all things for ever...
Doesn't quite work, of course. Translation hardly ever does. Especially to music... Make that never, but you get the general idea.
I approve of the sentiment, because I am a work of the Lord. (possibly, if (see above) there really is a Lord)
I digress. Sorry... And, even with nine lives, I can't waste any more time on pointless speculation.
Fact : There is a God, and I'm a particularly beautiful proof of this indisputable fact.
Agreed ?
Evolution is also a fact, so banging on about it ad nauseam changes nothing and wastes ink, paper and time. No more neo-Darwinism, no encyclicals, no synods, or any other witless speculation. Including religion...
I'm off religion, for the rest of this particular life. Back to the day job. In times like these, I'm lucky to be in work at all....
My job ?
You can't have forgotten already. You have ? Short term memory problems ? Don't panic... It might not be straight to the grannie-bin and I wouldn't wish that wretched existence on anyone.
Much more likely, you weren't even trying to remember. Please make an effort, this is important....
(I don't mean to be rude. My mother, for the very short time I knew her, tried to teach me some manners.)
From the top, because pinning a name badge on my coat might be tricky...
Name : MagnifiCat
Job Title : Servant of the Living God.
Current Project : Counteracting the powers of darkness, and right now,
as you must have noticed, their name is legion.
(and what kind of grammar is that ?)
Though it has, at last, stopped raining, for
the first time in weeks. White frosts
are so much prettier,especially at midnight,
and more people might try to believe in God
if S/he would at least get the weather right.
