Good Shepherd Sunday Altar Flowers

Usquequo, Domine. A prayer in tribulation.

Unto the end, a psalm for David.

How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? How long dost thou turn away thy face from me? How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved: But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

Psalm 12, Douay- Rheims Bible

Arrangements: "Bach" lilies from the local bulb farm and white centranthus and boxwood greens from my garden.

A few months ago, my kind friend, mentor, and owner of Altarations Paraments in Oregon sent me a box loaded with remnants of liturgical fabric. I added a white skirt around the bottom to hide the table legs and a carpenter attached brackets for the removable oak rods. I was a bit nervous about creating the arrangements for the litter. They needed to be as light as possible and secured to the litter to withstand being jostled about in the procession. I found four plastic oval platters at the dollar store, added a block of wet foam, taped it in place and created the arr...
