Today is the optional memorial of St. Bruno. It is fitting, I think, that he be honored with an optional memorial, for his humility would prevent being desirous of being obligatorily honored by the universal Church. In fact, though his cult was approved by the Church in 1623, he was never canonized in the formal ceremonies common of the time. The Carthusian order wouldn't permit such pomp and ceremony to surround their humble founder.
Today would be a good day to watch Into Great Silence and drink some Chartreusse in his honor.

Dedicated to all the Popes, past and present.
Romish Popery
The Pope is quite a guy, with quite an office. Far too few people give him the respect and obedience he deserves. It's not a blind faith, it's an informed acceptance of his divine authority. "...For you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church..."
Prayer for the Pope
Let us pray for Benedict, our Pope.
May the Lord protect him
and grant him length of days.
Amen.
May the Lord be his shield
and deliver him from all harm.
Amen.
May the Lord give him happiness and peace
all the days of his life.
Amen.
A partial indulgence.
