Last updated on: January 11, 2011 at 6:17 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Not fair, I suppose, to copy the final paragraph of an excellent reflection by Dr Anthony Esolen thereby shortchanging readers of the best of the mess; please read it all – here.

This is a repeat — an annual posting. How is it that my Creator comes to me?I’m not worthy.To quench is my fate.THIRSTAll can relate.Before Eden thou wast; even before the flood.I parted for Thy people at the behest of Moses, Thy chosen one.I’ve whetted e’ery path man’s trod; every field he’s plo’d.At Thy command I came to be; my rest shall be in Thee.Tell me Lord, what brings Thee to me?
