After all these years, still my favorite friar to friar opening greeting: "You're still alive? Didn't I preach at your funeral?"

Riding in the hearse at the cemetery where local figure DMX is buried. The driver is telling me about various drama around his recent posthumous "ordination."

I do miss my spiritual director from before I entered the Capuchins, Mr. Zepf, may he rest in peace. Me: "What do you think? Should I join the Capuchins?" Mr. Zepf: "How on earth should I know? If it's a good way for you to keep close to Jesus, do it."

Martyred OTD in 1220, the first, or 'proto' martyrs of the Franciscan Order, Ss. Berard, Peter, Adiutus, Accursius, and Otho, after preaching in Morocco. Upon hearing of their martyrdom, St. Francis is said to have said, “Today, I can truly say that I have five friars minor.”

Huh. I'm almost sure I saw a reply/mention about the liturgical use of a bubble machine. I can't find it now, which is too bad, because I have a 100% true story on this topic.

So too the wisdom of God holds the world like a lyre … and brings each part into harmony with the whole. By his decree and will he regulates them all to produce the beauty and harmony of a single, well-ordered universe. ~ St. Athanasius (Office of Readings)

I enjoyed, in my homily today, correcting the unfortunate choice of the lectionary editors to omit the hilarious and instructive account of the Philistine captivity of the Ark, with the hemorrhoids and the mice and the cow cart with the golden tumors and all this mess.

Quick, Catholic Twitter. Parish authority has asked me what kind of incense I want. Something that smokes good and smells pretty.

With all this talk of #Greenland, ever wonder about the Catholic Church there? Well, it's under the diocese of Copenhagen and there's one Catholic church there, Christ the King in Nuuk. Check out their Christmas photos and so on:

Doctor's assistant: "Are you sexually active?" Me: "I'm aware that the erotic energy that moves all human drive toward attachment and generativity, ultimately reaching out for God who is the final and full object of human desire is active in me, yes." Just kidding. I said, "No"
