Today is the last day of Epiphany (Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday) and tomorrow is the first day of Lent (Ash Wednesday).

I’m throwing out some thoughts that are not fully formed or set so, feel free to challenge them, but it seems to me there is a wisdom in the ecclesiastical calendar that [...]

I missed the day traditionally set aside for the feast of St. Brigid of Kildare (February 1), but I didn’t want to miss saying something about this faithful lady who had such a great impact upon the Celtic church of the 5th century. Brigid was known for her hospitality and love of life. [...]
