I have always considered the days after Christmas "our time." With the commercial holiday over, we faithful can finally enjoy the true fruits of the season. You can run out of money, but you can't run out of love. One of my favorite days of the year is Epiphany -- while everyone has long packed up the Christmas decorations we silly Catholics are singing full throated carols at Mass. Merry Christmas. - Michael Hebert Tue, 29 Dec 2009 10:11:25 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/to-have-and-have-not.html#comment-3732 Does Peguy's Eve exist in English? - AT Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:11:38 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/to-have-and-have-not.html#comment-3734 Dr. Royal nice thoughts. Thomas Becket was hacked to death because Henry II wanted more control over ecclesiastical affairs that he probably had a right to. It seems to me that throughout the course of history there has often been violent antagonism over what was God's and what was Caesar's. Perhaps we see this being played again when in our own age "First Principles" and Christian morality are being manipulated by secular dictates. Do we not have our own holy innocents? - Willie Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:11:23 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/to-have-and-have-not.html#comment-3733 A fair amount of Peguy has been translated, but not Eve. - Robert Royal Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:26:04 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/to-have-and-have-not.html#comment-3731 Excellent thoughts, Dr. Royal. The Communion verse in my 1962 missal yesterday caught my eye. In Matt. 2:20, after the Inoocents are slaughtered, Joseph is told "Take the Child and His Mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the life of the Child." - William H.

Salvete FLORES Martyrum Hail, FLOWERS of Martyrs." But, what comes first? The flower or the fruit? - Dennis Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:26:26 +0100
