"The face of God is that of a merciful father, who is always patient... He does not tire of forgiving us if we know how to turn to him with a contrite heart... The Lord never tires of forgiving. We are the ones who tire of asking for forgiveness." (Angelus, March 17, 2013)
Have been away from an internet connection. This photo taken just now from the hotel bedroom will perhaps reveal my location at the present time. There is free wifi so hopefully I'll find some time to report on my stay in Marquette.
Well, Mark, I don't know about the Tolkien connection. There is a university in Marquette, the Jesuit Marquette University is not in Marquette but named after (or for, as the Americans say) the same Father Marquette who brought the Catholic faith to the Upper Peninsula.
"Free wifi" -- apart from ejaculations of the religious sort, perhaps, next to "musical theatre" the most glorious phrase in the English language.

Marquette, Father? The same Marquette that has a University with Tolkien's letters?
ReplyDeleteHave a good stay Father, and a safe journey home.
