His Pen Was Mightier Than A Sword
This morning they lay to rest my friend of 15 years, Fr. Eric Lies, OSB.
A monk at St. Meinrad Archabbey, one hour west of Louisville, I sought out Fr. Eric to see if he had any prints of his wonderful calligraphy, particularly a quote from Thomas Merton about Louisville (his famous “shining like the sun” quote). I was emboldened by his kindness to ask if he’d consider doing an original calligraphy of that quote for our church. “I can do that!” he said excitedly, completely undeterred by my non-Catholic status. “And I have some wonderful handmade paper that I can do it on. Would you like that?”
Fr. Eric’s original hangs today in a place of honor outside our sanctuary.
