On the feast of St. Blaise….
As a kid, I wanted to be a priest, for the longest time whenever anyone asked that was my response. I would “play mass” and I even have vivid memories of blessing peoples throats with the St. Blaise prayer as a kid. Well as Gods will would have it I am a different kind of father than what my child self envisioned.
The photo above is of my oldest child, Blaize - Named from St. Blaise Bishop and martyr.

Today is the feast of St. John Neumann C.S.S.R. fourth bishop of Philadelphia. I have no idea how I obtained this relic, but I found it in my pajama drawer after we moved to Chicago land
