Anders Piltz har skrivit en mycket bra artikel om dominikanernas 800-åriga historia i Skandinavien, som vi firar i år. Eftersom jag grävde fram lite arkivmaterial han använde i artikel anser jag mig ha rätt att bjuda er på den. Men in och prenumerera!

The pope picked a good day for praying and fasting for peace. The Liturgy of the Hours let's us listen to these powerful oracles of the prophet Isaiah. Let us pray that Israel remembers it's prophets of old and breaks the cycle of violence and addiction to military strength.

A little French tradition of mine: to use gifts received for various occasions (ranging from bye bye to catechism classes to solemn profession to now deaconal ordination) to buy edifying Pléiade volumes. Thanks for the Légende dorée, lay dominicans of Fribourg.

What a privilege and a joy to be able to assist cardinal Arborelius of Stockholm as a deacon for the feast day of St Birgitta, the patron of our country (and 🇪🇺), at her shrine in Vadstena. God is faithful.

My diaconal ordination in Strasbourg, July 6th, through the laying on of hands by archbishop Pascal Delannoy of Strasbourg, and cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algiers. "Fidelis Deus: per quem vocati estis in societatem filii ejus Jesu Christi Domini nostri" (1 Cor. 1:9)

Did I travel for 18 hrs across The Continent from Strasbourg to Hamburg to Copenhagen to Lund carrying all this on busses and trains to leave behind with the brothers in Sweden, almost breaking my back in doing so? Why yes. Noah's ark didn't build itself.

Yesterday I got to deacon for my brother Rémi-Michel for his 1st mass (of the angels) with our nuns of Orbey. And he asked me to preach (with little time to prepare). We all did our pre-noviciate retreats with these sisters, a special place. Please pray for vocations to Orbey!
