Here’s the link to a piece of mine just up on behalf of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine–it’s about the mystery of Confession, and of the Church. As Flannery O’Connor observed (of the Church, of life): “To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.”
Here’s another little piece I worked up on Sheryl Lyons, Esq. of Lafayette, Louisiana, who, on my recent trip to New Orleans on behalf of Theresians International, had my back big-time.
Sisterhood is powerful.

THE PARABLE OF THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS, 1822
Oh wow Heather – I just read both and the one on the Seton Shrine page is astonishingly beautiful. What a wonderful mystery this Church is indeed. And, God bless Sheryl Lyons! Happy Christmas (when it arrives…) and every blessing for 2019
