Fr. Edward OP Poem and Encyclical - to be a memorable date

Dear Fr. Edward,

Thank you.

Almost simultaneously, you send mighty deliveries through the Web.

Both the poem and the encyclical immediately save the hours and Sunday
 to enter into these competing illuminations of mind and heart.

• Mary as Queen of Apostles
• "Lumen Fidei" [42,800 Google hits including the Catholic Herald Online].

I have Printed the poem for Heather and hope she will be here on Sunday.

In Dno.

On the Encyclical "Lumen Fidei" of Pope Francis -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mUhSDWW-IdKDYmfeKYudyhZ2w1iqhv1RX2bxEFZL4qs/edit?usp=sharing

Dear Father Donald,

Here is the text with which I hope you will not be disappointed.

Outside a strong wind is blowing.

On Monday the Sisters take me on a trip to see a geyser and a waterfall and something else. Things I have   seen before. I just know the road between Stykkisholmur and Reykjavik.

Blessings from

fr Edward O.P.

Subject: Another poem and some news

Dear Father Donald,

Here is a second poem of a different sort.

Just to say that you asked me to write a poem on Pope Francis's ([lus Pope Benedict's) encyclical..

Well I looked at the text after I downloaded it (and we had a visit from the Bishop and then exposition). I  have written some lines even though the result is long and complex.

When I have prepared the sermon for next Sunday to send to the translators, I will type it out improving and excising where necessary and I hope to send it to you before gong to bed tonight. For Heather as well please!

Blessings and greetings to al your brethren!

fr Edward

Mary as Queen of Apostles

Mary bears title after title:

how does she sustain that of ‘Queen of Apostles’?

She began as Mother of Judaism’s Messiah and Christ

and that - - - - - -

Lumen Fidei: A Summary on Pope Francis' First Encyclical

by Kevin Cotter | JULY 5, 2013

Pope Francis has released his first encyclical along with some help from Pope Benedict XVI who completed most of the draft before he resigned from the Papacy.

[For more basic facts on the release of this encyclical, see 7 Things You Need to Know about Pope Francis’ First Encyclical]

First, this encyclical is fantastic. I think the Church will be thinking, praying, and quoting this one for a very long time. The Church, especially in the West, is hungry for a renewal of the faith. During this Year of Faith, this encyclical on faith is a tremendous addition to the conversation that is going on throughout the world.

Second, the purpose of this blog post is to give a summary of the encyclical. After its release, there will be plenty of news articles about the encyclical that will report a few of the major themes or quotes of the document.

[Follow Pope Alarm on Twitter or Like us on Facebook to receive to get these quotes and share them with others].

Others will want to read the entire document, but mig - - - - -
