                    __Surge, illuminare: Canticle 11_

'

  

 Arise

   shine 

      for 

    your 

           light has come  

                          “The traveler sees what he sees, 

             the tourist sees what he has come to see.”

* C.G. Chesterton,  

        1874-1936,

English apologist and author of a wide range of genres, including the Father Brown mys-teries. “The prince of paradox,” he is “known and loved for his sharp wit, his intellectual ten-acity, and his refusal to resolve the ambiguities of Christian faith in favor of facile and passing conceptions of truth.”   

                     O God of earth and altar… 

                          grant that we may be inspired 

                                   to witness cheerfully to the 

                                             hope that is in us. Collect
