I prayed to Saint Tu for intercession. He delivered.

For those of you wishing to tune into the Theology debate/Georgetown saga... here
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Saint Francis Xavier....Pray For Us!
"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

My wife and I (she is a x grad) went to see his bones in Macau. This was in 1997 during the change over from Hong Kong to the Chinese. We took the one hour ride on the hydrofoil there (cool) from HK and went to see the original "o x". Found out the Portuguese took him a few months earlier because "they did not trust the commies" to take care of him. Saw the place on the ground where he was. Underwhelming to say the least. Locals knew all about him. Like Lenny Brown, dude has street cred. I still get extra credit for the effort.

I was just talking to my wife about this a few minutes ago. A very good friend of mine, a UD grad and former basketball player there, sent me a text about this earlier today. My prayers are for the Holy Father who has taken this great Saint's name for his Papacy. As for Rush, well, whatever.
Pray the Rosary daily

For those outside of Cincy, several alumni chapters celebrate Communion Sunday often around the Feast of St. Francis.
See here (most were held last weekend).
If your chapter doesn't host an event (or hasn't recently or if you didn't hear of one), contact your Chapter President and ask if you can help with next year's event.
