Having no time today I will hopefully see the Conservative Forum tomorrow and maybe ask about some of the last days´ topics at that site instead. So many favourite things in just a few days make it almost impossible not to reply something ;-)THOMAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710377440062400575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-80080000577806851192017-05-09T08:52:41.501-07:002017-05-09T08:52:41.501-07:00Excellent quote, Mal.

I went to dig it out of the Internet, only to find it was attributed to St. Francis Xavier, which was a rather pleasant surprise. The usual translation (or at least the one I remembered) and some history is here:<br /><br />http://cathythinks.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-god-i-love-thee.html<br />(I venture to suspect you might like the title of that blog, too. Or at least have some sympathy with it.)<br /><br />Wonder follows wonder this morning. Not only is the original attributed to St. Francis Xavier, but that other fine Jesuit Fr. Hopkins did another (and in my opinion generally much better) translation:<br /><br />http://kpshaw.blogspot.com/2014/05/o-deus-ego-amo-te.html<br /><br />Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922256237670687588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-91067925173189362862017-05-09T06:35:41.616-07:002017-05-09T06:35:41.616-07:00Don't think people have much shame over here....Don't think people have much shame over here.Séamus(Australia)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-3319869947651737352017-05-09T06:18:43.063-07:002017-05-09T06:18:43.063-07:00There's an element of shame involved, too.There's an element of shame involved, too.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-7015991256998232402017-05-09T06:10:02.360-07:002017-05-09T06:10:02.360-07:00The second reading of today's Office of Readin...The second reading of today's Office of Readings, the ordinary form, by St Peter Chrysologus(d.450), if you have time to look it up , is an indication that the "Gentle Way"has always been there in the church also. It's probably healthy to consider both aspects, but I doubt whether talking of Divine punishment will realistically being people back nowadays. Still, all actions have consequences and people need to know that also.<br />(other aspects of this longish piece by St Peter are worth reading also)Séamusnoreply@blogger.com
