Durham, Lindisfarne, Ordination, St. Cuthbert

Today is St. Cuthbert's feast day, at least in the calendar we use at Our Lady of the Atonement. We use the same calendar that the Ordinariates use and this day marks the day that his incorrupt body was finally laid to rest in Durham, England. His feast day is important to me because I count him as the patron saint of my priesthood. The reason for this is because in the calendar used by all other Latin Rite Catholics he has another feast day, March 20, and that happens to be the day on which I was ordained to the priesthood. (Also of importance is the fact that I had the opportunity when I was in seminary to go to both Lindisfarne, where he was bishop, and Durham Cathedral, where he was finally laid to rest. That particular trip had a big impact on my life and looking back I also count it as the beginning of the end of my time as an Anglican.) Unfortunately, I have not had enough time today to dedicate a post in regards to St. Cuthbert, but nevertheless I felt the need to say something. Therefore, I encourage you to read about this wonderful saint. There is a great hagiography written by St. Bede found here.

Auspice Maria, Chi Rho, Cross, Lindisfarne, Mary, Mother of God, St. Cuthbert

Shield with MottoThis is my shield, crest, seal, emblem…actually I am not sure what to call it. I don't want to call it a logo because that is usually associated with businesses and is commercial in nature. This, on the other hand, is intended to represent (to a certain degree) who I am and what I believe. I am writing this because I will be putting it in a prominent place on my blog and I wanted everyone to understand the meaning behind each of the parts. Continue reading →

My Fourth Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood

Lindisfarne, Ordination, St. Cuthbert

Today, March 20, 2014, is my fourth anniversary as a priest in the Holy Roman Catholic Church. In some calendars this is the memorial of St. Cuthbert. (Although Our Lady of the Atonement has, since my ordination, started using a different Church calendar and, therefore, I don't get to celebrate my anniversary on St. Cuthbert's day.) He was the Bishop of Lindisfarne and he had one of the most venerated holy sites located in Durham, England before Henry VIII desecrated it. This is the saint that was venerated at my ordination Mass and my patron saint as a Catholic priest. Below is what I wrote for the inside cover of my ordination booklet.

I give my thanks to God for making me a priest in the Catholic Church. I know this is what He has called me to do. Although, I am not sure why He chose me. Sometimes it seems to me to be some kind of cosmic joke to which only our Lord and the Blessed Virgin know the punch line. Nevertheless, this is where God has put me and I will do the best I can, with His help. God bless you all and thank you for your prayers – Heaven knows I need them! Continue reading →
