The Crucified

Went to the Church of the Crucified tonight for confession and Mass. They have a lovely black priest who is really sweet. I had not been up there for a while with the cold etc. The cold is becoming old hat but does not want to go away. Tomorrow we have a chapter meeting of the Third Order white hoods. I will attend. I am reading a WWII diary. German front soldier at the Russian front. Fascinating. They are clueless what is going on behind them in terms of atrocities. Basically same what my father once told me. The guys who came through after the front soldiers were the "heroes" who just killed innocent civilians for the fun of it. It is too bad that books like this are not translated into English. However, English audiences would not believe that one could serve at the front throughout the war and not see any atrocities being committed. Yes, one could.....
