The Franciscans go to Hell but the Dominicans are en route to Heaven

The Dominican artist Fra Angelico painted the very famous 'Last Judgement' showing certain well known Franciscans tumbling towards hell while the Dominicans, headed upward to Heaven.

"Francisan? This way please"

That appeals to my sense of humour but then I was educated by Dominicans. Just a little friendly rivalry!

A Mother's prayer for her soldier son

As Thou didst walk in Galilee, so loving Saviour, walk with him for me: For since the years have passed and he has grown, I cannot follow, he must walk alone. Be Thou my feet that I have had to stay, for Thou canst comrade him on every way. Be Thou my voice, when sinful things allure, pleading with him to choose those that endure. Be Thou my hand that would keep his in mine, all, all things that a mother must resign. When he was little I could walk with him and guide but now, I pray Thee, Thou be at his side. And as Thy Blessed Mother folded Thee, so kind and loving Saviour, guard my son for me.
