While doing research for a project at work, I stumbled on this clip. Call me a sentimental sap, but it got to me.
Watch and enjoy.

Notable And Quotable
The Deacon's Pulpit

Welcome
Feel free to make yourself at home. This little enterprise will be a place for news about deacons, the Catholic Church, and various thoughts on the art of preaching. I hope it will give off more light than heat, and provoke both thought and prayer. I'll also post some of my homilies, delivered from the pulpit of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church in Forest Hills, New York.
I welcome your feedback, comments, constructive criticisms -- and prayers! Thomas Merton wrote: "To write is to pray," and it's my wish to make of these writings a kind of prayer, too -- a hymn of praise and thanksgiving, a quiet canticle to The Word.
If you choose to leave a comment, the ground rules are simple: no slander, profanity, racism, sexism or name-calling. Violators will be deleted. I reserve the right to moderate comments, if necessary, or even shut them down. E-mails are also fair game for publication, unless you specifically ask otherwise. The guiding principle should be: WWJB? "What Would Jesus Blog?"
I hope you like reading these pages as much as I do writing them. And I hope that this effort will reap the fruits of the beautiful prayer said over me at my ordination:
"Receive the gospel of Christ, whose herald you have become.
Believe what you read,
teach what you believe,
and practice what you teach."

Thomas Merton
"A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire. "
e.b. white
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
Charles kuralt
“It does no harm just once in a while to acknowledge that the whole country isn't in flames, that there are people in the country besides politicians, entertainers, and criminals.”
Dorothy Day
"We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community."
