St. Didacus, a Franciscan lay brother, died in Spain in the odor of sanctity in 1463.
On the Byzantine calendar today is quite an important feast day, that of St. John Chrysostom. In view of this the Divine Liturgy was offered in the main church so that the whole ITI community could participate in the solemn celebration. To get an idea of how much the Byzantine's revere St. John Chrysostom, I think a Latin Christian would have to sort of role St. Peter, St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Aquinas into one...
In other news, the ITI and Heiligenkreuz Abbey signed a contract whereby the ITI will be given the use of some land and buildings in Trumau, Austria (just south of Vienna). We will be moving there for the academic year 2009-2010. Please say a prayer that this transition is handled better than the last one in which I was involved.
Oh, and Maria is feeling better and our heat is back on. Deo gratias!
