For Shakespeare’s St. Crispin’s Day Speech

Last updated on: May 1, 2015 at 2:12 pm By Frank Weathers

It’s St. Crispin’s Day! Which means it’s time for my favorite speech penned by William Shakespeare. See, the Battle of Agincourt occurred on the Feast of Sts. Crispin and Crispinian, which back before I was Catholic I would only have known this day as October 25th. But I knew about the Battle of Agincourt because it is renowned as an almost miraculous victory of a small English army, a long way from home, over a vastly superior French one (on... Read more

For All the Saints: Crispin and Crispinian UPDATED

Last updated on: May 1, 2015 at 2:10 pm By Frank Weathers

It’s St. Crispin’s Day. Before I was a Catholic, I wouldn’t have know this, or that there were two men being commemorated. So who are Crispin and Crispinian? Christian twin brothers, martyred in the year 285 or 286. Turning to the always open YIMCatholic Bookshelf, I found this legendary story on the two saints in Jesuit Fr. Francis Xavier Weninger’s Lives of the Saints. Here’s what he reports, (more…) Read more

Gunnery Practice

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:19 pm By Frank Weathers

This morning, I’ve been firing test shots from the gun deck to make sure all the link thingies for Networked Blogs are working. If you have been bombarded on Facebook and Twitter lately, that’s the reason. I’m firing this post off to see if it goes right down the pickle barrel too. If it does, all systems will be “go” and YIMCatholic 2.0 will be “good to go.” If it doesn’t, I’ll go back to the range for more practice.... Read more

Welcome to the first MfM post since moving here to Patheos. See that hurtling piece of machinery above? That’s what the good ship YIMCatholic looked like this week. She’s a Transformer, see? Usually a wind powered, bluff bowed vessel good for 12-15 knots, but sometimes, she goes ballistic like the bird you see above. We’ll get to the reason why later, but first let’s put that picture to some music, (more…) Read more

For Thoughts on Faith Like These by Thomas Merton

Last updated on: April 30, 2015 at 11:26 pm By Frank Weathers

“Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Now, as Pope Benedict has declared the coming year as the Year of Faith, Fr. Louis explains clearly and simply what faith means. What follows are thoughts from the prologue of his “The Silent Life,” published in 1957. I came across these words a few years ago, when I was reading all I could that Merton had written. When I read them, I... Read more

Jackson Pollock Meets Christ?

Something like that. Have a look at what follows. It’s where modern art meets the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Are any of these artists Catholics? I have no idea, but I do know that these inspired men produce works that well over with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. (more…) Read more

I was just over at YIMCatholic 1.0 looking for something in the archives, when I noticed a milestone for the blog has been reached on this day: 500,000 page views?!
