About me
I am a Catholic seminarian and deacon in Vienna, and a teacher at the International Theological Institute, Trumau. I have set up this blog to share
both academic and personal reflections, with emphasis on our common vocation to life in Christ, to love and holiness. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, or join in discussion.
Joseph Bolin
Deo gratias!
Dear Mr. Bolin,
You have a very good blog. I found it through Deacon Scott's blog.
I copied the "Seven Principles" – I will give them a good study.
God bless!

Thanks, Brian.
I would be interested in your thoughts on Br. Thomas's "Seven Principles of the Spiritual Life", and I'm sure Br. Thomas would be too. If you feel like sharing, please do so!
