The weekend was a relaxing one, filled with much movie watching, mostly which took place in the house but we, as a community did go to the movies together. We saw "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" which is an awesome flick; highly recommended. Brad Pitt kills it...solid style, good acting and a hint of life lessons.
On Sunday we went to the Friary at Alajuela to support two Friars who were professing vows. I have never been to a ceremony like this, so it was neat to see a "marriage ceremony to God." What made it so special was that there was a conference for the western hemisphere of Friars, which represented all of Latin America, Canada, US, and the UK. The ceremony was very long, but it was a most energetic mass due to the fact that there were 60 Franciscans from all over the world singing their hearts out. The man in the picture above is exactly that..."the man." His name is Fr. Marco Tasca, and he is the General of the Franciscan order based out of Rome. It was historical to speak with the, for all intensive purposes, the "pope" of the Order of Friars Minor, Conventual.

Hi Ed,
I see the hair is growing longer again.I like the changes in style.
Haven't seen Ben Button yet but saw
Doubt. Quite thought provoking. Love the blogs. 60 Franciscians singing, must have been something, no matter how long it was.
Love, Grandma S
