“There be responses for the congregation to make. I put together a little book on your tablets. We'll have to follow the congregation and their responses. I'll try to follow their lead and you try to follow mine. Father Anselm is aware that we are new here and let his congregation that we may stumble over things and not to judge us.”
“Understood,” said Larkin. Anything else?”
“Yes,” Helena replied. “Before Divine Liturgy, Father Anselm will bless us and the congregation with holy water. It's called the Asperges. It takes its name from verse seven of Psalm 51:
Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo et mundabor,/
Lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor./
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam/ misericordiam tuam.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;/
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow./
Have mercy on me, Oh God, according to/
thy steadfast love.

A lovely pursuit. I have to ask Matt, did I miss something? What happened with the 'Lady'?

It's supposed to prepare the congregation for the celebration of Mass by moving them to sentiments of penance and reverence. Now how much the holy water Father Anselm will use on us is unknown. I've seen priests be conservative with the holy water, others can be liberal with it.”
“Liberal? In what way?” Larkin asked.
“They sprinkle the congregation as if they were taking a shower,” Sister Helena replied.
“And I just showered!” exclaimed Fairbairn dryly. Everyone laughed.
“Well, we don't know what Father Anslem will do until we attend to biology. I just want to be us all to be prepared.”
“Sounds like a plan,” said Colonel Larkin. At this point Helena’s watched beeped.
“0845. Time for us to go,” said Sister Helena.
“Agreed,” said Colonel Larkin. “SG-24, let's move out.” Moving out meant walking from the refectory to the church. Simon met them in the narthex. Larkin shook Simon's hand.
