Its been a while since I made an entry. I've actually been on my Deacon retreat and forgot to post that I would be unavailable until today. Canon Law requires those to be ordained either to the diaconate or to the priesthood participate in a five day retreat prior to orders (Canon ¶1039). Having completed my retreat brings me one step closer to my diaconate ordination at the end of May, God willing.
Seminary classes begin this next Tuesday. I will try to fill you in on our classes when we discuss items of interest. I am taking a class in Eastern Christianity that looks to be very interesting. I am also taking a class on the Trinity as well as a class on spirituality. I am also going to attempt to learn Spanish. Thanks to Sesame Street, I can count to ten in Spanish, but I hope to learn a little more.
For those who have been following the Supreme Court hearings, it looks like Alito is going to replace Sandra Day O'Conner as Surpreme Court judge. This bodes well for many important issues in the Catholic Church, especially overturning Roe vs. Wade, euthanasia and the death penalty. I also hope that the push to remove God from every aspect of our lives can also be halted and even reversed. Only time will tell.
Until next time...God bless.
