St. Lawrence, of the noble family of Giustiniani, Bishop and first Patriarch of Venice, was "the pride and the ornament of the Catholic Episcopate." He died in 1455.
Turns out that Cardinal Schoenborn has requested us (especially the families) to gather before Parliament tomorrow in Vienna. It has something to do with the recent failure of the Austrian politicians to legalize homosexual "unions". Should be interesting. Afterwards, we get some time to walk about the city (I imagine Katie is excited about that - if not, she should be), and then we're heading to Trumau - site of the school's future location, and a restaurant somewhere in the vicinity. I'm sure we'll have pictures!
COR JESU SACRATISSIMUM,
miserere nobis!
Most sweet Jesus, whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thee, eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject.
Mindful, alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation, not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the promises of their baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy law... (Act of Reparation)
