ChristinaTherese Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I figured. But I didn't remember if you'd stated a date at all, so I wasn't sure. How are things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 How about seminary professors? "The Hebrew word for 'eagle' can also be translated 'buzzard:' kind of gives it a different emotional feeling." ~My Pentateuch Professor on the song "On Eagles' Wings" Discussing the Big Bang/Big Crunch in Theological Anthropology: "You can go to your bunker with your rationed canned goods, but if the universe collapses you'll still be destroyed."

arfink Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hey now, don't hate On Eagle's Wings. My academic advisor and mentor wrote that song. ;) He's a cool guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Haha! I personally like "On Eagles' Wings." I just found what my professor said very entertaining (and, to be fair, I think he was referencing the verse "On Eagles' Wings" is based on, not necessarily the song itself). That's really cool that your academic advisor wrote the song, though! Edited September 12, 2013 by NazFarmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NYS Bishops are having there annual fall meeting at my seminary this week, and Cardinal Dolan is staying the night with us. I demand daily posts from you on this thread. What amazed me most about seminarians when I visited the seminary last November (And I'm going to again this November) is that they acted no different than the average college guy. Their rooms were messy, they joked about each other and hung out with each other like normal guys do, it just wasn't what I was really expecting them to be like. I found it more appealing because of that, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Things I heard seminarians say: While walking across the quad, one man kept muttering "Heretics!" Students thought he was talking to them. I think he was bound up in some kind of mental discussion with himself though. "If you can drink it through a straw, it's OK for fasting." "I think I'd look good in a biretta. Don't you think I'd look good in a biretta?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 And the best one: Sacristan, rather loudly from the next room while everyone is silent in Holy Hour: "Why are the purificators always gone!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
