Glory to the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Now and forever and unto the Ages of ages.

Please to do not copy images. Thank you.

What Church Father I am?

You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

An Annual bad day

Well, I took our Christmas tree down today. Boy was it dry. We had a Balsam Fir, and it had a wonderful pine scent, but boy did it shed it's needles.

I will leave all other Christmas decorations up until Christmas season ends with the feast of the Purification our Lady.

Sad News

I recently found out from a friend, that my one time Philosophy teacher, Fr. Quintin Turiel O.P. passed away in 2005. This came as a bit of a shock, and I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing. Fr. Turiel was a kind, brilliant, humble, holy and sweet man. Father Quintin Turiel was a Dominican Friar of a priory in Madrid, Spain, and taught in the U.S. and the Philippines, if I recall correctly. I had the great grace and pleasure of being one of his students while at St. Michael's Abbey, in Silverado, Ca. He was a true Dominican, and faithful disciple of his great Master, St. Thomas Aquinas. I treasure every minute I had the great fortune to spend in his presence.

Thank you Padre, for your teaching, your wisdom, and for absolving my many sins in the holy sacrament of confession. You are greatly missed, dear Padre.

Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him, O Lord, And Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him. May His Soul, Through The Mercy of God Rest In Peace. Amen.

I would beg anyone reading this post, in your love of Christ and neighbor, to pause a moment, and offer an Ave, or two for Padre Quintin. Thank you.

Picture taken at the time I was a student of this great Dominican Father, about 1994.
