Our Lady of the Genesee

One of my favorite haunts is Abbey of the Genesee, located about fifty miles from my home. I visit there often.

I don’t know if you ever read Scott Adams’ Dilbert Blog. It’s one of my daily stops. Some of his posts really get me laughing and todays’ was one of them. You owe it to yourself to read today’s, “I wish I had a government.”

Down in Adoration Falling

Tonight is one of my favorite in all the church year. It was the liturgy of the Lord’s Supper. Tonight at Mt. Irenaeus-Franciscan Mountain Retreat the evening began with a “dish to pass” supper. The friars supplied two big hams and guests brought dishes to pass.

Happy Birthday

Today is our son’s 23rd birthday. A lot of water over the dam since 1984. Where has the time gone? If you’re a parent you realize how soon children grow up.

Aquinas vs. Scotus

I’ve written about this before. Franciscans believe in the primacy of Christ. In other words Christ came into the world primarily because God loved the world and not primarily because of Adam and Eve’s sin. This theology is what really separates Franciscans from the rest of the Catholic Church and probably most of Christianity.

A new crucifixion

Some of the world’s news organizations are reporting that the United States will attack Iran on Good Friday. The attack will occur between 4 am and 4 pm. No time zone is given in any of the reports I read, but one article was from the Jerusalem Post which might indicate a middle eastern time zone. If it’s closer to the 4 am time then it might occur as many American Christians are attending Holy Thursday services.
