Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day, the Third Monday in January. MLK was born Jan. 15, 1929 and died by assassination Apr. 4, 1968, at the age of 39. I remember where I was when I heard of his death. I would guess you do, too. This is a good day to reintroduce six […]
Today is the 50th anniversary of the death of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King’s life is not a new subject for me. I put his name in my own search box and it shows up in 43 different posts. Here’s the photo I used September 5, 2011. This book was a gift from […]

Today is Martin Luther King Day (his birthday January 15, 1929, death April 4, 1968.) The Minneapolis Star Tribune headlines, at page two, “MLK Day to feature conflict and celebration”. We Americans love conflict, winners, celebration…. It would be interesting to hear Dr. King himself report on this day, in 2016. He’s no longer with […]
Today is Martin Luther King Day in the United States. The Day was first implemented in 1986; first recognized by all States in 2000.

Today there’s no school in Woodbury, and on Saturday my spouse said that grandson Ryan, 14, had expressed an interest in going to the film “Twelve Years a Slave“. I had a conflict Sunday afternoon, but suggested today, and if he’s still interested the three of us will probably be in the theatre this afternoon. […]
Yesterday at Mass at Basilica of St. Mary visiting Priest, Fr. Pat Griffin, in his homily, included a snippet of Martin Luther King’s writing: “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly….” I wrote enough snippets of the quote so […]
Sunday morning at Basilica of St. Mary, Fr. Greg Miller chose to close his homily with an extended quote from Martin Luther King’s talk to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference 16 August 1967.

I met Martin Luther King yesterday, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I sat near him in the Choir Stall at Basilica of St. Mary yesterday afternoon. He appeared there in the body of two women sitting next to each other. Mary Johnson and Janice Andersen. Janice is the tireless and remarkable Christian Life Director at the Basilica […]
I awoke to a New York Times on-line headline “Edward M. Kennedy, Senate Stalwart, Dies at 77.” He passed away late Tuesday night, August 25, coincidentally, my daughters 40th birthday. He was a veteran U.S. Senator when she was born in 1969. Today and following days, there will be endless commentary about this larger than […]
