There's hope, yet.....

The Saints Blog (no, not these Saints, go here for a priestly perspective, there!) at SPQN has a post on twins (or related to twins) who are saints.

Why strike my fancy? I have an identical twin* in Iowa (of all the corny places...)

Also, there was a set of identical twins in seminary for Detroit, I think they might be ordained now.

One of our seminarians (at least) is a twin as well.

And I saw a set of twins being carried into the penance service last night.


* My first weekend in the seminary, he showed up with his girlfriend (now wife) in tow, bout got me kicked out!

* At my ordination, everyone kept asking him why he wasn't in clerics and with an alb on. 'Seriously, I AM NOT HIM!!!!'

* My first weekend in the parish in my first assignment, I mentioned: 'If you see me around town with a girl, it's not me, but my twin brother.' Yep, got that disbelieving look; until they showed up at the festival five weeks later.

* He gets me back when I visit him, in similar ways.

* Best one yet, he and I were together in Iowa, he was wearing an 'I'm the evil twin' t-shirt (I was in civies), the waitress didn't get why it was so funny that he was wearing it, not me.

You are right father, they are both now, although they were ordained a year apart, but they both are now.

Oh, so now I know why my pastor calls me the bad twin... hm....


God Bless you Fr.Schnippel!
