  • ‘God is not a liar’ – Invalidly baptized priest thankful for God’s Providence

    When a priest is ordained, his hands are anointed with oil. They are then wiped clean with a white linen cloth -- it’s called a maniturgium. There is a custom, hundreds of years old, in which each new priest presents that cloth to his mother. She’s usually buried with it. People say... Read more

  • For Fr. Hood, finding out his baptism — and ordination — were invalid a blessing in disguise

    The first emotion was shock. Then came sadness. And the third — two weeks later — was déjà vu. The past two weeks have been a roller coaster for Fr. Matthew Hood, who was ordained to the priesthood — some might say for the second time, but in reality, for the first — on Aug. 17,... Read more

  • One and One and One are One. A Homily for Trinity Sunday

    There is an old spiritual that says, “My God is so high you can’t get over Him. He’s so low you can’t get under Him. He’s so wide you can’t get around Him. You must come in, by and through the Lamb.” It’s not a bad way of saying that God is “other.” He is beyond what... Read more
