Sancte Anselme, ora pro nobis

I got into St. Anselm College. They are giving me a scholarship and everything.

My father barely congradulated me. He told me that I shouldn't get my hopes up about it. This time last year, St. A's was a good solid safety that would be fine to attend.

He really hates the idea of the priesthood that much.

Bible and Angst...Sorry guys

Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.
But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword.
For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
and one's enemies will be those of his household.'
"Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

-Matthew 10:32-38, which the Godspell people wisely ignore

I've been reading through Matthew to be more ready for Godspell, becuase the order and text of the stories and lessons is based on that Gospel. When I got here, I broke down and cried. If I get told how worthless theology is one more time, I'm going to take up the sword. I know I'm the only 17 year old on the damn planet who wants to study this, but when my mother joins in on the "wasting your life" beat it out of you campaign, it's gone too far.
