Some pictures!

Sorry, I don't know whom the credits are due to on these, since I saved quite a few from Facebook! You'll have to tell which are whose in the comments. Well, except the table one is a copy of one by Fr. Young.

Another Poem!

Ah, these Jams are so inspirational, aren't they? This one began in the car on the way back from Mexico, Sunday evening, but I had to stop when it grew too dark to write; so I only finished it today, when I remembered.

Sunset Thoughts

The sun is sinking in the west;
The evening is ablaze
As we head home along the road,
This third of four fun days;

Days full of song and laughter gay,
Of hymn and harmony,
Of jokes and plays and merriment
With friends we love to see;

The Masses and the merry meals
With friends and Fathers dear,
The glory of the harmony
Of youthful voices clear!

All, all too soon, we all must part,
And bid a sad goodbye,
But we will not forget these days,
And thus we will not sigh;

But for the Jams to come we'll wait -
Oh, we'll be happy then,
With song and wine - which, said the wise,
Do gladden hearts of men!

Greetings all!

I hope that all the travelers made it home safely (and without notice from pesty policemen).

I had a wonderful time on this second Jam Session. Moreover, I can speak from a little more experience now in my home parish.

I want to thank Father Stanich for having made this an important and successful event. Music (sacred and common) is still another part to the restoration of all things in Christ. Catholic Culture is so rich with its music, philosophy, theology or simple customs of the people, we ought to thank God for such a wonderful gift and be quick to share it with our fellow moderns who are so in need of real culture in their lives. Three cheers for Father Stanich's contribution in this regard!

In Christ the King.
