rituals

are important to HOM and me.

they gather many threads, spare us from lusty curiosity, coach actions that direct our thoughts, and free us to worship. ironic to think i remember when rituals were unwelcome intrusive presumptions!

and yet rituals are only as useful as they are understood, and i hope that the youth will in time be consciously grateful for the rituals that the older church tries to preserve.
