The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present
This is Br. Bugnolo's English Translation, of Saint Bonaventure's encylopedic book of theology on the Trinity: With this book, your priest will always have something intelligent and awesomely inspiring to preach to you about
God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

How come that Sicilia has this reputation of corruption, mafia:
That does not go together with being catholic/religious.
the mafia in sicily is 0.0001% of the total population
Well Said Brother Alexis!❤👍🏻
Reminds of the Feast of St Mary Magdalena in New Haven CT, so many good memories, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWJA3e28wZU
When is her Feast?
The Saturday before All Souls Day.
St Mary Magdalena’s feast day is July 22
Must apologize for the fact of the music sounding so familiar from the movie, ‘The Godfather’ when Michael Corleone was shipped to Sicily after killing those seeking to ‘hit’ his Father. Odd how today’s world seems a Mobocracy mirroring the movie series regardless of the appearance of the practice of Catholicism.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I give you my heart and soul.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, assist me now and in my last agony.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, may I die in peace with you. Amen.
Beauty is not a good enough word to describe that procession…I hope there were thousands there. Our poor Heavenly Mama deserves it. And more.
why poor??
