Christian Mathis Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:28:10 +0000 http://www.blessedisthekingdom.com/?p=1397#comment-1085 Hi Dan. Welcome to St. Thomas! You are correct that Blessed Is The Kingdom takes its name from the first lines of the Eastern Liturgy. It begins, Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.... The words kept coming to my mind when I was trying to decide upon a good name for this blog. It is my feeling that East and West have much to offer one another and I have found my exploration of the East to be very fruitful in my own spiritual life. It tends to help me see with new eyes so to speak. I hope you will find your time at St. Thomas to be good. Fr C Hi Dan.

I learned of this site through the Why Catholic program. I am curious about Father Christian's interest in icons and the name of the website. It 's the first public words said by the Byzantine Catholic priest to begin each Liturgy(Mass). Is there some connection to Eastern rite Catholics or just a coincidence?
