"A [preacher] who does not love art, poetry, music and nature can be dangerous. Blindness and deafness toward the beautiful are not incidental; they are necessarily reflected in his [preaching]." — BXVI

Mass at the Angelicum chapel
Frs. Philippe-Andre, Philip Neri, Cyprian, and Benedict celebrate Mass
at the Chapel of SS. Domenico e Sisto, Angelicum in Rome.
Dear Reverend Doctor Powell: I know you're not too thrilled with your French exam. All of our physical and mental labors are a far distant second place compared to your priesthood's offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
We strive for excellence;yet,did't the Great Doctor of the Church-Thomas Aquinas-say that his knowledge was merely: "straw."
Reminds me how long it has been since I went to Mass in a Catholic church.
