Having never been compelled by curiosity, to read other people’s unedited diaries or general musings, I have avoided reading Blogs in the past. Your Blog content, however, has changed my mind, and seems to be very well written and researched. I have come to see it as an excellent source of information for describing trends and movements within the Vatican and the Catholic Church, and for defining the relationship between Catholic teaching and current world events. I also enjoy your illumination of the lives of various people-of-grace throughout the world (saints present and future), and I hope that you will continue to post your writings in the days ahead.<br><br>A Catholic Reader in ZionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-3972274606628105922007-02-07T21:49:00.000-07:002007-02-07T21:49:00.000-07:00Hi Scott,I'm a regular reader of your blog. So...Hi Scott,<br><br>I'm a regular reader of your blog. Sometimes it takes time to catch up, but I always gain something from what you write here. You've given me alot to think about in many different realms, some of which I freely admit, flies right over my head.(Hence the catching up part). It can take a while for me to gather all of what you're saying and linking to, process it all, and then try to gain an understanding for myself when often times it is a subject that, prior to doing so, I knew virtually nothing about.<br><br>With all that being said, I especially love reading your thoughts about deepening personal spirituality through prayer and practice. I appreciate your calls to action with regards to caring for those among us who are in need of our help. Those posts are the most touching to me. And.... <br><br>I always love reading your Homilies. <br><br>God bless you in all your endeavors. <br><br>TamiTaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-35195824147061542532007-02-07T22:57:00.000-07:002007-02-07T22:57:00.000-07:00Hi Scott,Carole T. here. I love your blogs. Just...Hi Scott,<br><br>Carole T. here. I love your blogs. Just wanted to let you know I'm trying to read your blogs everyday but it usually ends up being once a week. I'm just a little behind. Discipline in taking more time out for reading/meditation and prayer is a constant struggle for me. Knowing your words are online, anytime for the taking, a great comfort. I do have some favorite subjects that I'll write back to you about soon. About today's mention of Bishop Scanlan, I found a book at the SL Public Library (last month)about the Cathedral that gave a little more detail about the art in the church but most importantly, a chapter or two on Bishop Scanlan. When I get those "woe is me" moments, every now and then, I think of the hard life he must have lived and wonder how he didn't falter from his vision. I know he had his obstacles and his frustrations. Gives me a little solace, when I think of being so far from my own home, that he may have entertained similar thoughts but trusted his faith in God and his mission. I get the sense that he was an exhausted man, mentally, by the end of his life. Would love to read more about the man and his intriguing character. Thanks for listening, as always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
