Overheard: Sacristy Hilarity

Liturgically curious friar: "Father, will we be celebrating St. Hilary today?"

Hagiographically curious friar: "Tell me about him."

LCF: "He was bishop of Poitiers in the fourth century and wrote an important book on the Trinity."

HGF: "What else?"

LCF: "I suppose he was also hilarious."

    One of my daughters, Isabel Chiara Hilaire, turned 4 yesterday. When she was born the labor was difficult, so we asked the intercession of St. Hilary. Things quickly improved, so we added his name to the ones we had already chosen. Since then, I have continued to ask his intercession for her daily.

    Praise be to God for His Saints.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
