Pope marvels at St. Therese's 'science' of love :: EWTN News

When I read The Story Of A Soul for the first time, back in the 70s, I remember thinking, "If I were a Catholic, I'd want her to be my Patron Saint."

Well, That's How I Heard It!

Once again, a post from one of my old blogs!

The original, Italian version of "Volare" {proper title "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu"} recorded by Domenico Modugno, was one of my favorite songs when I was around five. I used to sing "Dipinto di Blu" as "The pink and the blue." That's what they call a mondegreen!
