Archbishop George Lucas

Just some notes from a FOCUS event with Omaha's archbishop.

- Favorite Saints: St. Joseph and St. Matthew

- When asked what book he thought we should read he responded with: Well, of course, The Bible! He gave an anecdote on how when he blesses little kids Bibles that he likes to tell them that the blessing won't be activated until they open the book. Of course, that is not entirely the way it works but it's probably a good way to motivate kids to read their Bibles.

Go and set the world on Fire, ya'll. ^_^

Wait, you mean the Archbishop's name is actually George Lucas? Do you have any idea how cool that is?

Yeah, not joke. Someone already asked him in an interview if he has ever been tempted to end Mass with "may the force be with you." I don't remember the exact answer but it was basically "no." ^_^
