At the close of the feast…
For those of you who exclusively use your guardian angels for when you go to the mall…
And one for the Catholic Whovians:

Wise Words on Wednesday: Fed or entertained?
Many say that they weren’t being fed. In all honesty, however, many of them would have to admit they weren’t being entertained, or made to feel special, or welcomed warmly enough after Mass. They grumble and they complain.
I know what I’m talking about. I know the pressure of having to bring in a better singing group next month than the one that visited last month. I know what would happen if my preaching ever weakened or if my smile wasn’t natural enough: People would leave and go find a better preacher, a more exciting worship experience, more comfortable pews, or more programs for the kids. I know this for a fact.

Guardian Angel Feast Day!
You’ll often hear people say that, if you fall asleep while praying the rosary, your guardian angel will finish the rosary for you. If that’s true, I think mine is probably getting kinda sick of me at this point…

A little Latin anagram
I remember some time ago I was reading a book (possibly Bill Bryson’s “The Mother Tongue”) and found out that Latin anagrams were, at one point in history, all the rage. Well, what can you expect? These were the days before YouTube… Anyway, the author then gave an example of a Latin phrase which sounded rather familiar:
“Quid est veritas?”
This is the (rather cynical) question asked of Jesus by Pontius Pilate; what is truth? Well, it turns out that there is a rather appropriate anagram for Pilate’s words:
“Est vir qui adest”
The translation for this is “It is the man who is here”. Cool, huh?
