Ad majoram Dei gloriam
"For he that singeth praise, not only praiseth, but only praiseth with gladness: he that singeth praise, not only singeth, but also loveth him of whom he singeth. In praise, there is the speaking forth of one confessing; in singing, the affection of one loving."
(St. Augustine, Commentary on Psalm 73, 1)

Yes, I DO occasionally burst into song...

...especially when I am suffering sleep deprivation.  For instance, we were on our pilgrimage to the 2010 March for Life in Washington, DC and slept on the floor of the religious education building at St. Patrick's Parish.  We woke too early for my comfort - especially after a night of barely dozing off on a hard, cold floor - and all I could think to do was sing "This Is the Day The Lord Has Made."
I had a couple of really good friends barely control themselves from gut-punching me for that one :-)

Honestly, ladies - it was the sleep-deprived me that was in the mood to sing at 5:30 a.m.

Pax,
Michaela
