Catholics: Read Bellarmine!

God bless Mr. Ryan Grant for translating these Bellarmine treasures from Latin into English.  My prayer is that eventually all writings of Bellarmine will be translated into English and made available for a wider readership.   

The Saint Paul Hotel

Since 1910. 

Fr. George Walbacher the Great

One of the very finest men I have ever had the honor to meet.  He reminds everyone he meets of Cicero or of a Roman senator of old.  He is one of the very finest priests, ordained in 1951, and still doing the Lord's work.  You inspire us, caro padre!

Where President George H.W. Bush Began to Fly as a Pilot

The old Wold–Chamberlain Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Bush began flying here in the winter of 1942 when the world was at war.  I think of him every time I land here, and pray for his conversion to the fullness of the Faith.  My own grandfather also began his flying here, as well, just a few years before.   

Grave of American Catholic Hero: Thomas Burnett, Jr.

Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis.  

In Memoriam: Flight 93.  

Requiem!

Advent Wreath

Every year of my life my mother has made an Advent wreath for the family, on the same tray.  Here it is this year.  Bless her heart. 

Christmas Candle

As long as I have been living, my parents have been putting out this sweet Christmas decoration every year.  It brings back many memories.
