It’s been a long time since I’ve
stomped those blogs…
I wonder if they’d remember me?

“Look at this other one, who seems to
want to give his whole life for God, whose
ardor all the torments there are cannot
damp. A tiny bit of scandalmongering …
a word of calumny … even a slightly cold
reception or a small injustice done to him …
a kindness returned by ingratitude …
immediately gives birth in him to feelings
of hatred, of revenge, of dislike, to the point,
often, of his never wishing to see his neighbor
again or at least of treating him coldly with
an air which shows very plainly what is
going on in his heart. And how many times
is this his waking thought, just as it was the
thought that almost prevented him from
sleeping? Alas, my dear brethren, we are
poor stuff, and we should count very little
upon our good resolutions!” – Source
Thanks to Terry from Abbey-Roads2.
Eric, over at The Daily Eudemon, wrote a
very interesting article on St. John Vianney
as well.

“… it’s Mildred’s baby!”
Which is what I believe the line
was in the photo Terry posted
from the movie Desk Set, one
of my favorites starring Spencer
Tracy & Katharine Hepburn…
Used to help illustrate Terry’s
autobiographical story, as he
continues with its next chapter,
over on Abbey-Roads.

By G.K. Chesterton
(& copied from a post by Eric
@ Chesterton and Friends.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s breast,
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world’s desire.)
The Christ-child stood on Mary’s knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

Between recent pop hits &
the melancholy ‘Canon in D’?
Whether you hear it or not,
the question was posed as a
result of an interesting
(& entertaining) post from
Dawn Eden @
The Dawn Patrol.
