“Everyday Saints” is one of my favorite books. Many favorite stories in that book, but one is when the Commisar found out that the monks weren’t going down to the voting place (Election Day - with one candidate - was purposely scheduled Sunday during liturgy). So the abbot and monks dressed up in full vestments and with icons led a procession on a circuitous route through town to the voting place.

Wow, this is great! So much content here... as a new catechumen, I will have to go back and read this bit by bit.
