Dressing Well for Mass: A Matter of Humility, Not Vanity

Dressing Well for Mass: A Matter of Humility, Not Vanity - Catholic Exchange

Jim, Jim, I wore a tie today,
The first one that I ever wore.
You’d have said I looked like a dummy,
Down at the dry goods store
.
That was country music legend Willie Nelson circa 1985. It was a duet with fellow legend Johnny Cash, who sang the
second verse:
Jim, Jim, the preacher said a lot of things,
But I didn’t hear a word he said.
My mind kept wanderin’ back down the trail,
Back to the good times we had
.
The song is about two humble and simple men burying their friend, with whom they once rode the trails and panned for gold.
Near the end of the song the words are gently spoken:
We did everything we could do for you, Jim.
But your fever just wouldn’t go down
.
So we put you in the wagon, Jim.
And this mornin’ we got you back to town.
But when we got here, you were gone, Jim.
And there wasn’t anything anybody could do.
They dressed you up in a fancy suit and a necktie,
So, today we wore one too.

Now, here is a question: Why did those two old cowboys wear ties to the funeral? Did …

Home » Architecture » Before and After: Holy Name Catholic Church in Sheridan, Colorado
Partnering with Integration Design Group, Holy Name Catholic Church in Sheridan, Colorado recently underwent a noteworthy renovation. Now this particular parish church was originally built in the mid-1960's with some later interior renovations taking place in the late 1990's. Neither of these were, of course, decades particularly known for their time-tested, lasting beauty and in that regard, they had some challenges to overcome.
Integration Design Group lays out the project as follows:
A clear and simple structure constructed in 1966, the church building was in much need of renewal and beautification. The design team at Integration Design Group worked with the pastor to develop a fitting vision that would substantially increase the beauty and symbolism in support of the liturgical life of the parish. The sanctuary was completely renovated, with a new chancel arch, new brick masonry surfaces, side …
