Now, before I go any further, more than likely there will be no dancing Books of the Elect at the Rite of Election celebrations throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle...at least, not anything planned...but we'll see where the Holy Spirit takes us.
Anyway, many Dioceses throughout the U.S. celebrate their Rite of Election tomorrow, customarily held on (or in our case for the Archdiocese of Seattle, near) the First Sunday of Lent. The Diocese of San Jose in California posted a great video four years ago of their Dancing Books of the Elect at their Rite of Election...just scroll down a bit on the site to view it! The article is well informative as well.
And in other related news, this Friday early morning I will be flying out to Anaheim for the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. Well, just got it all confirmed that next Sunday, the last day of L.A. Congress, I'll be having breakfast with Diana Macalintal and a mutual friend of ours. Diana is the Director of Worship for the Diocese of San Jose (yes, the same San Jose where these dancing Books of Elect emerged!) Thanks to JM for making this dream become a reality!
Jesus tells a Samaritan woman that all who worship God must worship Him “in Spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) My hope is that, through my personal reflections and experiences on the public work or service of the people, many may not only worship, but also come to know Him in Spirit and Truth.
