When he was at table with them, he took the bread. He blessed the bread, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him!(Luke 24:13-35)

Very interesting stuff!

On EWTN Live tonight, Father Pacwa had as his guest Father Richard Kunst, who collects "spiritual artifacts", with a special focus on items of papal history.  He started out as a kid collecting autographs of politicians and sports figures, but he sold those shortly after his ordination and began collecting his current items.  He says he has about 1500 items.  One of the most interesting to me is not an item of the papacy, but a letter from Mother Teresa.  Father Kunst wrote to her to ask her for her autograph, and in a kind but saintly way, she responded.  I come close to tears every time I read this letter because of its simple, yet theologically deep content.  Wow.  Just wow.  Click on this link to see the letter and browse Father Kunst's collection.
