The second half is solid. We do make purity an idol and depend on it rather than Christ.
The thing is, bringing the first half into the natural sense of the parables, robs it of its own coherence.
You'd need something like this, I think, to retain the logic and imagery of both parables & collect:

It goes psalm first, then you can either OT canticle NT or canticle OT NT. (Most people do the former.) During the seasons you got a choice between seasonal Psalms or continuing just to roll through the psalter.

This is positively poetic - people arriving from the rest of the world and saying, "but you're not doing it *right*".
Still, the idea of rebooting the old Clerk order is actually worth considering 🤔.

This (via @editorialboard.bsky.social) applies to so many groups. I'm tired of being told (in my case, usually them as don't think women can lead/be ordained) that they're so courteous [to women], and we can all just work together and gloss over these differences.

I was reminded this morning that Cranmer's Thanksgiving after childbirth (unfortunately subtitled the churching of women) is so much better than the modern thing, mostly because it actually remembers to give thanks for the life of the mother, but also because it identifies this as the go-to psalm.

It occurs to me that this week's collect (however inferior to least week's) is a good one for the week I leave Dublin for the Unknown.

*For example* Joan Barton set the whole country on its head, was the only woman in English history to be sentenced to be hung, drawn & quartered, but we celebrate her fan boys, Fisher and Moore, but have mostly forgotten her.

It transformed the brew from a bitter what's-the-point to a really very pleasant gentler form of tea.
