Saint Luke: Look Buddy

October 18, 2022 By Dorian Del Priore 1 Comment

Sure, this is an absolutely absurd approach to reading scripture, and yet it has the potential to highlight a word that is often overlooked and underappreciated.

Lancelot Andrewes and Icons for Vocation

September 26, 2021 By Dorian Del Priore Leave a Comment

Spiderman’s real name was Peter Parker, and the wit and brains were a part of Peter before he became Spiderman. That gave me hope. I was sort of a dorky, nerdy kid, and if a kid like Peter could become something great, then maybe I could, too.

A few years ago, I ran across a video of a toddler playing in the rain for the first time. As someone who loves the rain, I was immediately captivated.

I really thought I was a ninja when I was a kid. Seriously. Well, at least a ninja in training.
