What really struck me about Fr. Hughes' homily at Guardian Angels today:
* The story about the devout Catholic wife out in the Canadian prairies whose husband was not religious. She had to raise their children as Catholics herself, without her husband's help, and her husband didn't want to go to Mass with her and the kids. The husband's efforts to save some stubborn geese from a blizzard taught him that his wife and kids were showing him the way to Heaven the whole time. Jesus came to live with us and to show us the way.
* Being happy is to have had good days and bad days, but no regrets.
* Happy is different from joyful (feeling like everything's wonderful, nice and rosy). XD

Imaginary Casting For The New Jedi Order
Sometimes I imagine

River Phoenix as Jacen
Kevin Zegers as Anakin
Amy Allen, Famke Janssen, Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz, or Angelina Jolie as Mara Jade
Young Candice Bergen as teenage Tahiri Veila
Brandon Routh, Chris Evans, or Ben Barnes as Jagged Fel
Joaquin Phoenix as Kyp Durron

Welcome to my Blog
This is just the humble wee blog of a studious young altarserver who loves serving God.
Just a wee word of warning, I rarely update/check comments on this page.
- Excerpt from the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer about the Oxford Cleric, a character who's very similar to me. :)
Just a wee word of warning, I rarely update/check comments on this page.
287 | A clerk from Oxford was with us also, |
288 | Who'd turned to getting knowledge, long ago. |
289 | As meagre was his horse as is a rake, |
290 | Nor he himself too fat, I'll undertake, |
291 | But he looked hollow and went soberly. |
292 | Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he |
293 | Had got him yet no churchly benefice, |
294 | Nor was so worldly as to gain office. |
295 | For he would rather have at his bed's head |
296 | Some twenty books, all bound in black and red, |
297 | Of Aristotle and his philosophy |
298 | Than rich robes, fiddle, or gay psaltery. |
299 | Yet, and for all he was philosopher, |
300 | He had but little gold within his coffer; |
301 | But all that he might borrow from a friend |
302 | On books and learning he would swiftly spend, |
303 | And then he'd pray right busily for the souls |
304 | Of those who gave him wherewithal for schools. |
305 | Of study took he utmost care and heed. |
306 | Not one word spoke he more than was his need; |
307 | And that was said in fullest reverence |
308 | And short and quick and full of high good sense. |
309 | Pregnant of moral virtue was his speech; |
310 | And gladly would he learn and gladly teach. |
