[Update: I have posted pictures from the competition.]
Yesterday, the Cardinal Glennon College seminarians particiated in the annual 'international' festivities by competing and enjoying food prepared by the Italians. Needless to say, the stakes were high (especially with the Germans gloating about 'their Pope' and all that...), and the games were tough (Volleyball with a large inflatable, a spoon race, a relay race and a trivia quiz (one of the questions was, "Which of the seven dwarves in Snow White is drawn with only one tooth?" Answer: Dopey)), but the 'Italians/Other' team (the team I, a Dutchman/Irishman/German... with a little French thrown in the mix, was on) prevailed in the end.
I have taken many pictures of the event, but I have not yet had the time to organize them and post them on the Internet. I shall do so shortly (within a day or so), and I'll let you know when the pictures are online.
In other news, today was Laetare ("Rejoice") Sunday—the 4th and middle Sunday of Lent—and it is one of only two days during the year when priests are permitted to wear pink rose-colored vestments. Did your pastor 'think pink rose' today?
