Today we went to the Basilica of the Annunciation to meditate on a few things.
We considered three points:
1. Our Lady welcomed the Archangel Gabriel here with perfect humility.
2. God became man in our Lady’s womb right here.
3. He lived most of His human life here–His hidden life, the life He has shared with every human being.

Also, for the first time ever, you can click on a link here and go straight to an Adobe acrobat .pdf file!
If you are thinking about going to the Holy Land, and you know how to manage Adobe Acrobat, then peruse this interesting brochure.
If you are like me, you do NOT know how to manage Adobe Acrobat.
I would be glad to mail you a brochure using an actual envelope and stamp. You can send me your address at mwhite@adwparish.org.
The NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest is always better than the game itself.
The game, however, was okay. Kobe could not miss in the third quarter. (I only watched the third quarter.) It is absurd that 265 points were scored in one game. The 192 points scored in the Syracuse-Georgetown game on Saturday set a dangerous precedent.
Shaq went out with a bang. This was Shaquille O’Neal’s last of fifteen N.B.A. All-Star games. (He was voted onto the team fifteen times, even though he didn’t play all fifteen games, due to injuries.) Only Kareem Abdul Jabbar has been voted onto more all-star teams–seventeen.
Today at Holy Mass we heard the account of Cain and Abel from Genesis.
