I do not want to dwell on Fr. Maciel. I believe that many of my readers are not directly affected by the Legion of Christ or Regnum Christi. Many of you may never even have heard of Fr. Maciel.
I would much rather write about Christ, Shakespeare, and basketball. Nonetheless, I feel obliged to say the following.
It was not a resounding return to glory. But the Hoyas played a solid game. The clock cannot be turned back to December 29, 2008. But we can hope that better days lie ahead if…
Monroe sinks a sweet hook shot…Nikita “Kruschev” Mescheriakov keeps hitting threes and avoids fouling out of every game in ten minutes.
…Somebody pulls down an offensive rebound.
…Wattad stays confident.
…Monroe, Summers, Freeman, and Wright all go for double-doubles every game.
Big East tournament is only 35 days away! Anything can happen.
Also, please pray for the repose of Fr. Marcial Maciel, founder of the Legion of Christ, who died a year ago. Pray for the fathers and brothers of the Legion, and for all of us members of Regnum Christi. May the good Lord be merciful and shower his blessings on this woebegone world.
