Magna-gift

I was thrilled to preside recently at the baptism of little Hildegard, daughter of Pray Tell contributor Kim Belcher. And I was thrilled today when Kim gave me this hand-made cup as a thank-you:

At first I was concerned about the handle placement, since I’m not left-handed. Then I got it: it’s for versus populum celebration.

    A church where I attend a meeting each week calls its coffee hour Jesus, Mary and a Cup of Joe.

    I’m fully expecting to see this as a gift item in an upcoming Christmas catalog!

    My priest calls it Jesus and Java.

    This mug has caused envy in the liturgical world.

    http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2013/07/a-mug-we-all-want.html

    Someone there notes that the lid resembles a galero!

    A line of mugs (with options of versus populum or self referential) should finance Hildegard’s education.

    Of course if you are left handed this is a self-referential mug, and you would need a right handed self referential mug to celebrate versus populum.

    Purchase would include a complex set of “rubrics”.
