"Heresy is from the Greek word meaning 'choice'.... But we are not permitted to believe whatever we choose, nor to choose whatever someone else has believed. We have the Apostles of God as authorities, who did not...choose what they would believe but faithfully transmitted the teachings of Christ. So, even if an angel from heaven should preach otherwise, he shall be called anathema." -Saint Isidore of Seville

Remind me not to go to the Amherst book sale next year!

Day two of the Novena to the Holy Spirit for the Seven Gifts

We went to the Amherst book sale yesterday, and it was even worse than last year.  The books were individually priced, most $1 or more even for kids' mass market paperbacks.  The free room didn't have much, and the vast majority of it was text books.  I did find a few gems, like some vintage Millicent Selsam science books and the Orange Fairy Book.  It just isn't worth the ride out there any more.

On a much brighter note, we went to a First Communion celebration for another homeschooler friend.  Ds#1 was as excited as his friend was.

Ds#2 had a 1st grade CCD graduation ceremony at our church, too.  He wanted to wear his vest and tie that he wore for Easter--he looked so handsome!
