OLD crib
This morning, on the way to breakfast, we saw a FULL RAINBOW over the main Chapel. What’s at the end? Probably the new Pre-Theology “off-campus” housing that we’re moving into TOMORROW, weather permitting. I took some pictures of my current shared quarters.
acorn + Halloween
MODERN PHILOSOPHY – (Fr Santos) — Hume on “causality” (3)
ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY – (Fr Santos) — acorn seed (potentiality) vs tree (actuality)
HALLOWEEN PARTY — pumkin carving contest, bobbing for apples, pie (spagetti) eating contest, & costume contest. Great!
Panama food nite
CULTURAL FOOD NIGHT — today’s theme was “Panama.” Since there’s only 2 Panamanian seminarians here, a few of us (“honorary Panamanians“) helped Chef Ramon & Chef Randy to cook some great food, drinks and desert from Panama. They also showed a video on the “Panama Canal.” Lots of work … lots of Rum … lots of fun … and (again) lots of work. — I don’t know how the staff cooks 3 meals everyday for 70+ of us — God bless ’em!
okra
MODERN PHILOSOPHY – (Fr Santos) — Hume on the “world” — what is “okra“? — describe it
ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY – (Fr Santos) — Aristotle — modes of “being”
DOTS — roomie
“book” + clay ashtray – “J”
MASS – (Fr Michael) — the main Chapel was FULL today for the “Father & Son” retreat for Columbus High School nearby. I was serving with “Book,” which means a lot to do, but I did alright. The homily was, not surprisingly, about the relationship between Father and Son (with a “clay ashtray“).
NIGHT PRAYER — baseball hats – lost a seminarian today [J]
Divine Mercy Mass
MASS — today, the Miami seminarians were asked to serve/join Miami Auxiliary Bishop Estevez’s Mass for the spanish Divine Mercy Conference going on this weekend including some Sisters from Polish Saint Faustina’s order. A beautiful service. — I left my camera phone in my room … the pictures would have been nice.
Serra Club dinner
Tonight, 13 of us Miami seminarians helped the Serra Club fundraising dinner near Coral Gables. Fr Vallee and Chef Ramon cooked a dynamic 2 course meal with desert for $$$ per plate. Auxiliary Bishop Noonan and Vocations Director Fr Manny were present to thank all who gave toward the funding efforts for the new Pre-Theology housing that the seminary recently purchased. We helped with parking (in the rain), serving food, cleaning, washing dishes, drying dishes and ate some “costly food.” — Lots of work … and lots of fun … brotherhood in action!
