[Magdalen] Estra Liturgical Moment.

I got a package of Trappist fudge today and was reminded:

I may have put this lturgical moment online here in thepast.  Nonetheless, I was reminded of the tale told by myfriend, John+, of a Solemn High Mass event occurring
during he some 18 years he was a monk at GethsemaniTrappist Abbey.
The liturgical deacon of the Mass lost his jockey shorts whileserving at the high altar.  The liturgical MC calmly walked
over to the shorts, and with a well aimed, swift kick, shotthe shorts through the sacristy door.
Problem solved.
It was so gracefully done it was as though this was part ofthe High Mass liturgy.
This event made the liturgy a lot more exciting than that ofmost Solemn High Masses I've attended.
