Meant to post this earlier but things got away from me.
The alleluia verse from the Mass for the Purification jumped off the page of my missal at me.
“Senex Púerum portábat: Puer autem senem regébat. Allelúia.”
“The old man bore the Child, but the Child was the old man’s King; Alleluia.”
The verse is from Augustine, not a Psalm as is typical. That’s probably why it struck me instantly. Nonetheless, it is striking.
Then I went home and took down my Christmas decorations.
Bring on Lent!
