Remembering September 11, 2001

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And may perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of the faithfully departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen.

America's Got Talent, Celtic Spring, Finale show

Here is Celtic Spring again! They put on a great show and will continue to be a witness and inspiration to America even though they did not walk away with the Million Dollars. During the awards ceremony the judge asked winner Bianca Ryan if she wanted to share her million dollars ... well Celtic Spring shared alot more than a Million Dollars with America ... they shared true family happiness.

America's Got Talent, Celtic Spring, Irish dancing family

I did not think I would ever need to use YouTube but this is an exception. Here is a better video to view than the link in my last post. This is really an awesome family - It is so great to see the young of America saying a loud NO! to those who wish to put fame and fortune before the family.

Celtic Spring
Yesterday I was talking to my friend who mentioned seeing Celtic Spring on the show ‘America’s got Talent’. Then I found a link on Ria's Blog to a video of their performance. I met Elizabeth (the oldest dancer) at Thomas Aquinas College - she is a beautiful and sweet girl. Celtic Spring preformed at a fundraiser last year for our Monastery when we were visiting CC before we moved. We did not attend the event, but I wished I had when I found out later that Celtic Spring had preformed. I am not sure when the final for the show is but I hope they win ... that would be quite a message for a country that needs the strength of family values so much right now.

Wikapedia has an explanation of 'America's Got Talent'

Here is an art piece that is underway. It is for an auction to raise money for our monastery. The sketch shows a priest here in CC during the part of the mass where he says "Ecce Agnus Dei" (Behold the Lamb of God). I want to picture that amazing part of the mass as if you could see with supernatural eyes.
