But for versatility and variety in love, give me the bent head, and the closed eyes, and the genuflected knee, and a prostration on the floor, and a shower of holy water. I challenge the angels to even remotely contrive the variety of ways we can show our love: a little palm on Palm Sunday, ashes on a forehead on Ash Wednesday, purple vestments on the priest in sad seasons and white ones in other seasons, flowers on the altar on feast days, and at other times a stripped altar, a Gloria in one Mass and none in another. Good God, how fascinated we must be if we just watch thse things in terms of love!
