Would love to see that.<br /><br />OK, you can't make this stuff up. Something incredible happened this morning. About two days ago a friend who cleans estate houses gave me a few items from an elderly couple who passed away. Their children didn't want any of their religious items. Included was a very old Rosary which seemed to be from a little girl's Communion. The Rosary are small round clear crystal beads with filigree "Our Father" beads and a beautiful tiny filigree Cross and a filigree heart for the center. It was also broken into many pieces. A few minutes ago I put it all back together and guess what? 1 bead is missing! patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-31439513885204280162012-09-22T00:58:57.210-04:002012-09-22T00:58:57.210-04:00Thought provoking.

Ye...No probs, Christopher. Thanks for dropping by.<br /><br />Yes, the broken bead incident is a tough one. In the video, Mr. Vitolo stated that "scholars, priests" tried to understand the meaning of it. It would be extremely interesting, firstly, to know who these priest-scholars were and, secondly, to find documents outlining what they said. My best guess is that such docs (if existent) are housed deep in the historical archives of the NY archdiocese.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-1994250354174877112009-11-21T06:05:12.365-05:002009-11-21T06:05:12.365-05:00Astounding research, TH2.

(Being able to get a full meal for a buck would be even MORE special.)<br /><br />Still, it does seem a curious response, almost like giving the kid the brush. Maybe it was meant as a lesson in humility.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-50135190100836356042009-10-28T13:29:31.713-04:002009-10-28T13:29:31.713-04:00Thank you, Sanctus Belle.

The first thing I thought of when I read this line was the alleged "miracle of sharing" to which the Feeding of the Five Thousand has been reduced in so many homilies in recent decades.

The real first thing was the association of the unfortunate term "touchers" with child molesters.)<br /><br />LOL on the "glorified lounge lizard" description of Sinatra.
