Catholic Review Online: A Rosa Moment

H.E. Archbishop Edwin O'Brien writes a reflection today in his column, "Thoughts on Our Church" regarding Ordination. It is a beautiful meditation to read. Here is a short snippet:

My earliest days of priesthood found me assigned – very happily – to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. For almost five years, I served as civilian chaplain to the cadets, military families and support troops there.

Most Holy Trinity Chapel and the adjoining rectory are beautifully located on a bluff overlooking a turn in the lordly Hudson River. A high point of the academic year would finally arrive during June Week when cadets would be graduated and commissioned as officers. Former classes would return for reunions and many of the newly commissioned would choose to be married at the Academy. For five or six days our chapel would have wedding ceremonies (not Masses) throughout the day every half-hour. As you would expect for West Point, the brief rite began on time and would be conducted with due dignity and reverence.
