I have posted a new monthly featured prayer on my seminary website, entitled "The Divine Office". It outlines and explains the Church's traditional prayer performed by clergy and the laity throughout the day. Read it here.
Yesterday (Saturday the 5th), myself and many fellow seminarians from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary received 4th degree knighthood in the Knights of Columbus. The whole day was a very great experience, especially the Mass celebrated by Archbishop Burke and concelebrated by many priests who are Knights. I have posted pictures from the event on my seminary website (unfortunately, when you're the one taking the pictures, you can't get a picture of yourself being knighted...).
Sorry I haven't had time to mention this earlier: I've posted pictures from Couch Potatoes, the Seminary's 2005 Variety Show, on my seminary website.
Today my spring break begins. I hope to spend a little time relaxing, a little time with my family, a little time in prayer, and a little time catching up with some of my friends (by a 'little', I mean a 'lot').
I pray that students on spring break this year may remain safe and not find themselves in any bad situations. I also pray that these students will be able to be able to find peace and relaxation during this break; mid-term exams can be extremely distressing!
Some interesting things to read over the break:
I ask anyone reading this blog to say a prayer or two for my mother, who has been in and out of the hospital in the past couple of weeks. Please pray that she may unite her sufferings with Christ on his cross during this Lenten season, and that she may find comfort from the Holy Spirit.
This Sunday, March 6, from 8-10 p.m., the National Geographic Channel will be playing "In the Womb", "a two-hour special that uses the latest advances in technology to take viewers on the incredible adventure of a developing new life. Revolutionary 3-D and 4-D ultrasound imagery sheds light on the delicate, dark world of a fetus. Viewers will also have the chance to witness a rare fetoscope operation performed in the hope of correcting life- threatening complications before birth." (source).
Besides being an interesting show, about life inside the womb, "In the Womb" will be using computer graphics, 2-D ultrasound, 4-D imaging and other technologies to give an unprecedented look into the life of a child inside its mother's womb.
