2011 years ago, the scene on the left took place in Nazareth. Mary vowed her destiny with the words, "Be it done unto me according to Thy word." Two years ago the scene on the right took place in Chicago. I pronounced final vows as a Jesuit with the words, "I further promise a special obedience to the Sovereign Pontiff in regard to the mission." I am thankful for a few friends who remembered this anniversary, and perhaps a Rosary of Joyful Mysteries would be appropriate tonight.

Welcome to the Blog Spot of Fr. Patrick Fairbanks, S.J.
The title AMDG means "to the greater glory of God."
On this site I try to offer a word of enjoyment, information, and spiritual edification. Hopefully for God's glory.
To keep me in tune, each entry bears the title of a song by the Beatles.
The content reports episodes of recent times,often creating a link with Scripture readings. Luke 24:45
A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
