So I thought I'd share this little snippet.
A twitch of the mantilla to Damian Thompson.
"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

A Little Humour...
Some people are getting a little over-wrought about our new Pope. Personally, I think we need to give him time... after all, being made responsible for the world's billion or so Catholics must be a bit like being hit with a ten-ton truck. Getting stressed over whether he wears the papal red shoes is perhaps a little premature. He's 76 years old, and wearing in a new pair of shoes is no joke at any age, especially if you do a lot of standing and walking. I seem to recall reading somewhere that his feet are far bigger than anyone else's in the conclave, and the ones made for possible popes just weren't big enough.

ReplyDeleteHmm. Would you accept such an excuse about the wrong uniform from a pupil?
ReplyDeleteSurely you would want a note from his mum, at least? The you would send him to the school secretary to get a pair of old gym shoes - admit it!
