...pro omnibus, quae retribuit mihi? Calicem salutaris accipiam: et nomen Domini invocabo.""How shall I make a return to the Lord for all that He has given me? I shall take up the chalice of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord."
--Psalm 115, from the Vespers for Monday, Breviarum Romanum. In thanksgiving for 46 years of life and 16 in the Holy Priesthood. Thanks be to God.
