My brother Terence and nephew Michael Colin visited on Sunday from New Hampshire. The Peabody Museum of Natural History in New Haven, Connecticut was one of several destinations. The hall of dinosaurs is, in Michael Colin's own words, "just amazing."
Michael Colin is a four year old expert on dinosaurs. He knew their names and their distinctive traits. He was also very good at identifying other animals in a photo exhibition in the museum.
The Peabody Museum is something of a tradition in our family. With Michael Colin another generation is discovering it.
His Excellency, the Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live in adoration before the Most
Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of thanksgiving and intercession, that he
might make reparation before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. At the same time, he is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental
support in their pursuit of holiness.
That's quite a look of wonder on his face. Wide eyed. Young children are such a blessing. They help you see and experience things again like the first time.
