Sr. Caroline's lectionary guide
Today's first reading (the three young men in the fiery furnace) always reminds me of Sr. Mary Caroline, one of our senior sisters. When it was her turn to do the Mass readings, she inevitably got one with names like today's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (not to mention Nebuchadnezzer). A shy person to begin with, Sr. Caroline was evidently intimidated by the prospect of actually attempting those names out loud. So on days like today we would hear about "the young men" and "the king", over and over. I know others who take a page from the same book when it comes to "that" reading from Ezekiel...

the reading about the three men in the fiery furnace reminded me of the times when my husband did the reading in church. He had a slight lisp and was confronted with the problem of the reading from Paul to the THESSALONIANS. Having been caught once, on other occasions when similar words challenged him, he said simply "....a reading from Paul".
:) Sr. Mary Caroline is my office mate! How great a story to hear this morning!
