Today is the Feast of Dominic de Guzman, founder of the Order of Preachers. And thus it is one of my feasts, as I am by my association with Providence College a friend and disciple of the Fathers.
I have a few stories to tell of that relationship, one of them of the afternoon I spent at the House of Studies in DC on this very day several years back.. But not tonight. For while I am no longer in Antigua, I am still in Guatemala. I have resolved to begin writing in earnest when I am finally free of this amazing country and her people, whom have given me occasion for a deep retreat these last few months. The retreat comes to its end this week, and now I shall be bent on adventure, exploits and great feats.. of blogging, at the very least.
So, I've come to the national shrine here at Esquipulas for one last long weekend before crossing south into Honduras, Tuesday. I will post a few final thoughts on Guate before then. When I am in Honduras, I intend to write much more, and about many multifarious things..
Tonight, though, I am tired and have only in me to beg Saint Dominic's intercession, and bid you all dulces sueños, que sueñes con los santos ..
