Our Lady of Perpetual Help

MWF looking for a new political party...

  • "To expect that all the world should, and must, adopt the pecular political institutions of the United States- which often do not work very well even at home- is to indulge in the most unrealistic of visions; yet just that seems to be the hope and expectation of many Neoconservatives... Such foreign policies are such stuff as dreams are made on; yet they lead to the heaps of corpses of men who died in vain." --Russell Kirk, "A Prudent Foreign Policy"

Prayer For Our Troops

  • Lord, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families For the selfless acts they perform For us in our time of need. And give us peace. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, Amen. (From the Archdiocese for the Military Services)

A little Waugh to get you through your week

With the news that the film version of "Brideshead Revisited" is going to be released this summer, I thought that I'd post this little clip from the mini-series. It's interesting, because warming the glass is something that you never do now- in fact, some people expressly avoid it, as they claim that it alters the wine (one reason why you'll hear people say that you should "never" hold your glass by anything but the stem).

I don't know how good or bad the movie will be- but ah, to taste wine in these surroundings!
