TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CCXVII

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: “Therese, forever a daughter of the Church, had no program, and she knew bitterness is a good tonic but a poor diet.” from Thomas Nevin’s Therese of Lisieux

QUOTE II: “There’s one in every family. And if you don’t think so it might be you.” Matthew Wyszynski

IN OTHER NEWS:


If anybody in this neighborhood knows someone missing a black lab that looks like a slightly smaller version of Sebastian, tell them to call the rectory.  She came to Mass this morning and everybody was afraid to let her go out into the traffic.  After the storm passes we will post signs.

The Diocese of Cleveland Enewsletter asks, "Did you know, Matt Lauer and Al Roker of NBC's Today Show were guests at the Vatican and had an audience with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI?" Read more here.

Nothing to do with this blog but I liked these:

Interesting commercial.

"Therese" is the French spelling, with accent marks over each letter e. [The French pronunciation is "ter-EZ."]

In English, her name is often written as "Theresa." [The "th" is pronounced as "t."]

"Teresa" is St. Teresa of Avila [from Spain], reformer of the Discalced Carmelite Order.

I have heard them described as "Big Teresa" (of Avila) and "Little Therese" of Lisieux (pronounced "lay--ZOO").
