Viva!

Can't get one of those upside-down exclamation points to express the way the Mexican priest closed today's Mass, but it was "Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!" at which our mostly Anglo community responded, with a bit of hesitation (but lots of gusto), "VIVA!" (Father was delighted.) Naturally, we also sang a feast day song to Sr. Mary Guadalupe at breakfast. And we are looking forward to a Mexican-inspired lunch.
But above all it was the first reading for this feast that was inspiring: from Zechariah, about the Lord stirring from his holy dwelling to visit his people. How fitting!

Try holding down the alt key while typing 0161. You should get an inverted exclamation ¡point!
