Christ does not wish us to be silent; we must cry out to Him so that He may change us forever.

One Month Anniversary: Dona eis Requiem
Today marks the one-month anniversary of the death of our brothers from St. Meinrad, Fr. Jorge Gomez and Stanley Kariuki. The seminary community held an anniversary Mass in their honor today, praying for their eternal rest. It was a beautiful celebration of life: the first reading was proclaimed in Stanley's native language of Swahili, while the prayers were said in Spanish. For the offortory, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu" was sung.
We miss you, Fr. Jorge and Stanley, and we ask for your prayers for us.
Eternal rest grant unto them, Oh Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in God's everlasting peace.
