Today is the feast of the Annunciation – I hope that your celebration was a joyful one. Our celebration here at the seminary (dedicated to Saint Mary of the Lake, by the way!) was a good one, celebrating the solemnity at our main chapel. Good things!
You might notice as well that I’ve changed the blog a tad. I put up a virtual memorial to Matty after his death – the pop-up message that he had on his blog. Matty had a great devotion to Mary and it seemed some consolation that he died on the feast of the Mother of Sorrows. Its been a year and seven months, and on this feast of the Annunciation, I think its appropriate to bring this part of my remembrance to a close.
I think I’ll leave the message on the blog, but in a less overt way. I’d ask that you continue to pray for the repose of the souls of Matty Molnar & Jared cheek, as well as for their families and friends.
Peace to you on this feast of Our Lady!

A note on comments
Comments are a great thing: a chance for you to respond to a post and for me to hear you.
However, be aware of two things. Foremost is that comments are always public; anyone can read them. Personal or contact information will be accessible to everyone: good and bad folks alike.
Prudence, then, should be your guide about what you say in this (public) forum.
The other point is, appreciation aside, I am not always able to respond. However, I do read all comments and it truly is a joy to hear from you.
Peace!

P.S. Even if you do not have a blogger account, you can put in a name to your comments. Simply select ‘Other’ under ‘Choose an identity‘ (just below the comment box) and put in a name.
Do not put in your full name if you want to maintain anonymity – your first name or a psuedonym would be fine. It personalizes your message to put some kind of name and I can address you better if I respond to your comment.
P.P.S. Because of some recent (anonymous) abuses of the comment feature here, I have setup the blog to send any comments to me for approval. Not to worry, I will never edit comments – I simply need to ensure that comments that are put on my own blog reflect the charity and values that I hold to. Comments that don’t fit that criteria will not be permitted publication.
