Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for June 04, 2015

The reason I don’t sit in the front pew at Mass.

Lux Oriens has another good side. Brother Leo couldn’t get lost with the jingle bells of the Eastern Rite Kadilnitsa (thurifer).

I love incense but am at a congregation where it’s not their tradition. I think I’ll go in on Saturdays and burn some for awhile so the aroma will still be around Sunday morning. Maybe if I do that long enough, they’ll come around.

I enjoy incense.

I don’t care about the smell one way or another, but it makes helping during mass hard for my brother, as it triggers his allergies

I always loved the smell of the burning incense.

Don’t scare me like that!

It was a very quick smoke break – VICEroy cigarettes.

Makes no cens to me…

Smoke gets in your eyes.
