ROFL

OK. A friend of mine who shall remain nameless for the time being (because I didn’t seek her permission to post on this, though I think she’d be OK with it) said something to me earlier today that just had me in stitches. So I thought, “I just HAVE to blog on this!”
Apparently she and her family went to a different parish for what was supposed to be a teen-friendly Mass. They didn’t choose it because of the teen theme, but simply because it fit their schedule that particular Sunday. She referred to it as “Jazz Hour with Jesus” because the music was extraordinarily jazzy and nontraditional, even by teen Mass standards. I mean complete with rhythm on the drumset cymbal. “Te-tet-teteh…”
Then came the Alleluia. The way she tried to imitate it, I do not even have words for. It was sort of soul/jazz/something else.
Her reaction? Well, she said, you sort of HAD to sing; after all, it was the Alleluia! But the whole time she’s thinking, “No, no, NO! Jesus doesn’t like this!!!”
I have to say, it’s never occurred to me before to reckon whether the Lord likes a particular style of music, but it wouldn’t surprise me if He didn’t like that particular Mass setting…
