Feast Days this Week of the Liturgical Year
This is indeed an exciting week for Catholics, generally, but especially for those who attempt to exemplify the "domestic church" in their homes by celebrating along with the worldwide Church the liturgical year. We just received our first encyclical from Pope Benedict XVI.
As well, there are numerous feast days of great saints and doctors of the Church this week.
Tuesday - St. Francis de Sales
Wednesday - The Conversion of St. Paul
Thursday - Sts. Timothy and Titus
Friday - St. Angela Merici
Saturday - St. Thomas Aquinas
I would take some time to comment on the new encyclical, but that would seem a bit hasty. Encyclicals, by their very nature, usually have quite a lot of depth to them in their meaning, implications, and applications, and are not often easily digestible. At this point, it seems best to simply direct my readers to interact with the encyclical on their own and do their own digesting. But, I do hope to post a few little reflections on Sts. Francis de Sales and Thomas Aquinas, as they happen to be a couple of my favorite doctores ecclesiae.

I enjoyed Pope Benedict XVI encyclical, what sections I read anyway . . . I did have the time to read the entire encyclical . . . but will do so soon.
Correction - should "I did not have . . ." instead of I did have . . ."
