I thought of posting yesterday on September 11. But, I found myself wondering if there were anything worthwhile that I could post. I finally decided on a day of silence. Sometimes, silence is golden. Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, may our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on all who suffered and are suffering […]
St. Leo the Great on the Cross
Our understanding, which is enlightened by the Spirit of truth, should receive with purity and freedom of heart the glory of the cross as it shines in heaven and on earth. It should see with inner vision the meaning of the Lord’s words when he spoke of the imminence of his passion: The hour has […]
St. Theodore the Studite on the Cross
How precious the gift of the cross, how splendid to contemplate! In the cross there is no mingling of good and evil, as in the tree of paradise: it is wholly beautiful to behold and good to taste. The fruit of this tree is not death but life, not darkness but light. This tree does […]
St. Augustine of Hippo on the Cross
“As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, touch the scars of his resurrection. He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in […]
St. John of Damascus on the Cross
By nothing else except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ has death been brought low: The sin of our first parent destroyed, hell plundered, resurrection bestowed, the power given us to despise the things of this world, even death itself, the road back to the former blessedness made smooth, the gates of paradise opened, […]

McCain’s speech
Well . . . . McCain’s speech was not an inspiring production. But, it was a good solid speech. Particularly, good were the parts during which he talked about himself. I learned more of the things about what makes McCain tick. These are things that are important to know, because when one is under stress, […]
Check your computer
Zombie plague sweeps the internet The summer saw a surge in the number of hijacked home PCs or “zombies”, say security experts. The Shadowserver Foundation, which tracks zombie numbers worldwide, said it had seen at least a threefold increase in the last three months. More than 450,000 computers are now part of zombie networks, or […]
Sarah Palin’s speech
I listened to Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech last night and was quite impressed by her oratorical skills. Not only that, but, as she reminded us, she had actually come through when elected governor and had truly taken on some vested interests even in her own party. She does still appear to have several shortcomings, but […]
