St. Blaise

Today is the Feast of St. Blaise. Catholic Fire has a very good post on the saint, his martyrdom and the feast. My husband went to early morning Mass in a small church near his job and was delighted to see that all the priests in the parish were there for the blessing after Mass. I went to St. Matthews Cathedral in DC for the 12:10 Mass. St. Matt's has been blessed with a fine group of men for its clergy. Young Fr. Caulfield gave a lovely homily and after Mass he and a deacon blessed throats. The cathedral looked particularly beautiful today. I hope St. Blaise was pleased.
