As the new year starts, Father John Corapi vanishes off the radar screen
How did I miss this post?
I pray for Fr. Corapi every day. And yes, I still think of him as Father John Corapi. Ordination to the priesthood leaves an

New Picture in my Collection

I've just added a new picture ofThe Annunciation to my collection.

Carl Bloch's painting of The Visitation.

Newly Discovered Book

Although Madeleine L'Engle wrote this book in the 1940s, it was published only a few years ago. It was not until today that I discovered that this book exists.
It did not, however, take me very long to order a copy!
I'm really looking forward to reading this novel, and I expect my enjoyment
to be enhanced by the introduction by Madeleine L'Engle's granddaughter.

Commercial Added to my Vintage Media Collection

humming the jingle.

New Video in my Vintage Media Collection

I've just added a new video to my Vintage Media Collection.
It is very brief, not really entertaining, but historically important as the first television commercial ever made.
