Let it be known: I was productive this weekend. :) And we watched Napoleon Dynamite. Heck yes.
I bought two books this weekend which I cannot wait to begin.
1) Harry Potter and Philosophy: If Aristotle Ran Hogwarts
2) Lord of the Rings and Philosophy: One Book to Rule Them All
They mostly rock. Heck yes.
So, I had to write an essay for my Spanish class about what my ideal funeral/burial would be like. It has to do with the story we just read in class. Anyway, here's what I wrote. :) I'm uber-proud of it.
If I had the option to have the ideal burial, I would ask for various things. First, I would want to be buried in the city of Rome, Italy, in the Basilica of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva because this basilica is my favorite church in the world. It is a Dominican church, and I like Dominicans a lot. I want to be buried in the same church as St. Catherine of Siena. At the Mass, the Dominican priests would use a lot of incense and candles, and they would wear fiddleback chasubles. The other priests and seminarians (who would be altar servers) would wear cassocks and surplices. The music they would sing would be in Latin, with my favorites, the Salve Regina and Ave Maria. Also, after the funeral, there would be exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with benediction and hymns like Tantum Ergo and O Salutaris Hostia. After the holy hour, my body would be interred in a simple tomb and everyone would be invited to a joyous celebration.
Ah, yes. What a tremendous assignment.
My teacher will, without a doubt, laugh at me.
So as I'm writing this Beth is doing the Napoleon Dynamite dance. Just thought I'd say that.
Pax et veritas.
I heart dancing.
