Every culture produces proverbs, adages, aphorisms, truisms. No matter what we call them, they are short, often humorous sayings that come from popular wisdom and common experience. For instance, if we say to someone: “Act in haste, repent at leisure” we are telling them that they are making what is probably an impulsive, and probably bad, decision. Obviously, the first person who came up with that sentence was summing up a bad experience in two quick sentences.
Again, these adages come out of a particular culture, out of common experience. The Italian culture, from which I come, has been profoundly shaped by the Catholic culture, and many of our sayings reflect it, and quite often the devil is the “goat” of the story. Here are some examples:
The major cosmetic changes are the tabbed main menu, moved the secondary menu from the right sidebar to under the main menu, mass service schedule moved to the top of the right sidebar and styled yet again, and typography changes to just about everything. Also, a lot of internal work to improve SEO – this will be an ongoing battle/learning process.
Christ Jesus is risen from the dead, sin and death have been conquered! We proclaim the risen Lord Jesus as our King through lives of love & service of the Lord.
Fr. Hilton and Fr. Lorenzo wish you a blessed Easter filled with joy that only the risen Lord has the power to give!

As Holy Trinity and the City are trying to find a way to “save” our bell tower, I can’t help but think of how much church bells were a part of my growing up in Italy.
“We will ring our bells!”
Every Italian student knows the famous answer that the general of the Florentine army, Pier Capponi, gave to King Charles VIII of France in 1949. The King had descended into Italy with a mighty army, in order to conquer more territory for France.
When the French army encamped outside the walls of the city-state of Florence, Pier Capponi was sent to negotiate with him. The King demanded surrender, free passage, money and everything that he could think of, adding, in a menacing tone: “And if you do not give me everything that I want, I will blow my trumpets.” That, of course, meant that the French would attack Florence.
