The whole law has found its fulfillment in this one
saying: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.Almighty and compassionate Father, through the life
and teaching of our brother Raymond you show us that love is the fulfillment of
the law. Fill our hearts with love and so make us grow in freedom as your sons
and daughters.
From the Catholic Encyclopedia
Saint Raymond is the patron saint for attorneys, barristers,
canonists, lawyers, medical record librarians.
Dear Paul,
my name is matthew gendzwill and I have been around for a while too! I like biographical note concerning you that you are discerning a vocation to holy order at a later time than might be expected. My diocese turned me down because I am fifty and there are nine young men in seminary now.
Dear Matt,
Not knowing the circumstances it is hard for me to comment. It's sad thing that a vocation is frustrated in this manner. Do you have a clear sense that your diocese will not take into their formation program? Have you spoken to neighboring dioceses?
Let's keep each other in prayer.
PAX,
PAZ
Dear Paul,
I would like to take the picture of and prayer to St. Raymond of Peñafort from your blog and make it into a Prayer Card for my Canonist that is helping me write up my Statues for my Lay Association and was wondering if I could have your permission to use them to do this.
Thank You and God Bless You!
