“Behold the Heart which so loved mankind”!

I'm posting this mainly for the purpose of sharing with those that attended the retreat and were received into the Society of the Sacred Heart this past weekend. It was a blessed event and spiritually enriching. Congratulations, Beth, Lori and John!

Celebrating the feast day with friends at Fogo de Chao in downtown Chicago. I highly recommend Fogos - I promise you will not be disappointed. They offer 15 different cuts of meat.

I would be willing to bet that every waiter and waitress at this restaurant has a story about the flaming cheese. This guy singed an eyebrow (not during our visit)!
