…then to Rome.
In honor all that is good in the legacy of Constantinople (now Istanbul), read Universalis’s description of the saint who penned today’s second reading from the Office of Readings, St. Maximus the Confessor. (Then maybe give the reading itself a shot.)
And, since I am still in America, it is most appropriate to celebrate the first American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, so close to my own heart because of her foundation in Emmitsburg, where my alma mater Mount St. Mary’s University is, the legacy of which is intertwined with her own. It is her feast today. Check out her story!
A domani…
