After getting back from our final retreat here at Novitiate, we’ve got 14 days left before the year is done. It’s getting a little hectic with the packing, cleaning, and studying I have to do in preparation for the move, but I’m still finding time to make rosaries when I can.
If you’ve requested to purchase a rosary, I haven’t forgot about you!
Thanks for your patience. -Br. Vito
Hi Br. Vito,
Happy to hear of your vows! Many blessings! Sorry to hear of your tonsillitis and ear infection. Keep taking your medicine.
I have a story to tell you. Today is the Feast of St. Dominic. As you remember, I am a Lay Dominican and today we celebrated. It is the custom between Franciscans and Dominicans to swap pulpits on their respective feast’s days. Guess who our guest Franciscan preacher was.
You’ll never guess.
Father Martin Curtin, OFM Cap.
And coincidentally, I happened to bring the “Franican Rosary” with me. Father Martin was thrilled to know that you made it. He said he was just “playing” (sic) with you last week. He’s a fan of yours. He thinks you’ll make a great Franciscan.
Our Father Dominic blessed us all: me with Fr. Martin’s preaching, me with showing off my Rosary, Fr. Martin with appreciating your talents, Fr. Martin for appreciating what a small world this is, you for being praised by Fr. Martin, you with my prayers.
God is good.
Fr. Marty is a great friar, an excellent preacher, and completely Boston! He was at the Novitiate before we left. I remember he watched the World Cup with us.
God is good, even when I’m still sick.
