Musings

From the Introduction: While I was a young friar teaching at Providence College I began writing regularly for the National Catholic Register. A graduate student of mine, David Roth, suggested that I publish my columns as a book. Later, after teaching at Franciscan University of Steubenville another former student of mine, Dr. Anthony Lilles, the Academic Dean of St. Patrick's Seminary, Menlo Park, CA, suggested the same. I'd by then written for other journals such as the New Oxford Review and the New Covenant. Though written about many topics on life in the Church, the vast majority are on issues liturgical and charismatic. Where there was heavy duplication, some sections were removed, but overlapping and repetition is still found herein. May the reader enjoy them as much as I did writing them.
