The Anchoress
My friend Deacon Greg, who has been feeling a little heartsore lately on the death of a deacon pal, has two uppers over at his site today.
The first is an introduction to Fr. Scott Seethaler, ofm Cap (that would be “Order of Franciscans, Minor” or, Capuchin Friar to the uninitiated) – a preacher full of hope and genuine joy in Christ.
Having heard Fr. Scott preach I can attest to his verve and energy and to the very Franciscan joyfulness that he exudes in his faith. I was happy to read Deacon Greg’s piece, and to find Fr. Scott’s website. He has a radio show, too. I wish more Catholic priests had his knack for preaching, but we all have our different gifts…lately my parish has been pushing these preaching CD’s from Catholic priests and lay preachers and they’re not bad, btw. They seem to be inspiring our own priests in the pulpit – praise God!
If you’re not interested in Catholic preachifyin’ then go over to Greg’s place anyway, and make the acquaintance of Maya and her dead fish, Lucky as she pronounces the solemnities before flushing him away. Adorable kid, and the bagpipes are great, too! You’ll smile. If you need to smile, you’ll smile!
