Congratulations also to the young men (and their families) at the Seminary who received the tonsure and minor orders over the weekend. Among the nineteen who received minor orders is our own nephew! Read more here.
May Almighty God bless them and protect them in their journeys.

THE
STORM
"You are not going against nature, you're above it." (Bishop Fellay)
Clouds positioned
Purpled
Towards the Church
They raced
Inside
Purple drapings
O’er the statues
Graced
Each man with
His candle
Prepared his vow
To make
When suddenly
Ferocious winds
Upon the roof
Did break
The shrieking gale
The pounding rains
Lightning struck
The ground
Splitting trees
Thunder torn
But inside
Peace abound
Laying down
Their lives like Christ
Prostrate
On the floor
The tempest hammered
Bruised and beat
Thrashing ‘gainst
Church door
And then each man
Took his stand
His fiat
Loud and firm
The roaring stopped
The moaning dropped
The storm did take
A turn
For these are men
Not against –
But soaring high
Above
And even nature
Silents herself…
Before man
New in Christ’s love
