[Faith-talk] Quotes for Friday, July 1, 2016

[Debby Phillips]

The first quote is definitely interesting.  My husband and I 
visited Europe this spring.  One night, we had a typical Italian 
dinner.  This meal would, our hosts told us, usually be served on 
a Sunday afternoon for family and friends.  The meal began with 
pasta, then one by one other courses arrived.  Of course, we had 
wine as we ate, (or I did).  My husband doesn't drink much after 
his weight loss surgery.  Our hosts told us that this meal would 
normally take from 3 to 5 hours to eat, because there would be 
pauses between courses, and this was the time that a family would 
gather for conversation and relaxation.  It was an amazing meal.  
We ate it in like 2 hours.  I'd much rather have had the meal in 
3 to 5.  What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon with 
family and friends, after Mass in the morning.    Blessings,
