Thanks for reading my blog, and putting the quotes up at your blog.
Hope that we can all grow in this wonderful virtue of humility. Next week I will focus on quotes on humility by St. Thomas Aquinas. Hopefully I can meet you one day in person. God bless.
Father, I think we may have met once, when I was helping Frank Turner to install an icon at Corpus Christi. At least I think that was you whom I met.
I am looking forward to those St. Thomas Aquinas quotes.
Now I remember you! You are that fine young man who helped Mr. Turner to install icon at Corpus Christi. God bless.
