[@cmoberg2036]

I was here visiting the monks just about 2 orx 3 months before the horrible earthquake... such a sacred place.

[@samlawson6507]

Wow. That was phenomenal. Thank you.

[@johnnathanmabulay6658]

Thank you. Help me improve my prayer life. It's been a year doing Divine Office and because of this series of talks become more meaningful. Special this lent season become like a blessing from the Father in giving the gift of praying, fasting and alms-giving.

The Divine Office is a wonderful gift that has been too much forgotten in recent times. Which form of the Office do you pray?

@@johnnathanmabulay6658 Good for you. Keep going. Keep your eyes open as well: the Holy See had commissioned the US Bishops several years ago to issue a new English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours and I think it was supposed to be approved by them this year but Covid-19 may have messed that up.

Eric S please message me if have some info.

@@johnnathanmabulay6658 Looking through the news it sadly does not look like it is going to be published this year. Here is a link to a page on the USCCB website that catalogues all the updates to the project: www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgy-of-the-hours/liturgy-of-the-hours-second-edition.cfm

Awesome

I enjoyed the sermon Father but can't help feeling you were cramming too much details and facts into one speech and it was kind of hard to keep up.

Does anyone know the name of the painting of the man wearing green kneeling at the foot of the cross?

[@thedisconnectedwife4165]

It's called THE RETURN by C. Bosseron Chambers WWI

[@lmtt123]

He was ordained after only four years after entering the monastery and obtained a doctorate three years later? Hmmm

[@lincolncity9]

Possibly he studied elsewhere before such as a seminary?

[@tommytwotone602]

And your point is?

12 means ownership. 12 apostles means Jesus' church.
