Young Pope Busts A Move

 All Saints Day, 1964.

The rules were simple, come to school dressed as the Patron Saint associated with your name. For example, if your name was Rochelle you could easily come to school dressed as Saint Roch, the patron saint of the Bubonic Plague.

Simply give your self a long white gown made out of a sheet, add a cape, a staff, and a gaping wound. Your all set. Easy stuff when your name is Peter, Paul, Ann, and Mary. Even Ruth could pull someone out of the bible and put together a religious costume.

What happens when your name is Carrie? There is no saint with that name, probably never will be.If you are truly blessed, you have Sister Mary Fina grant you the opportunity to select the religious icon of your choice.

Aiming high and dreaming big, I chose Pope John XXIII … everybody’s favorite Pope.

Here I am, looking all pius-ish.

Once again, here I am after laughing at my own joke during my homily.

And, here I am bustin’ a papal move.

Today I challenge you to find your Inner Pope and party like it’s a Holy Day,

 because there’s a good chance it is.

Amen.
