Take Nothing, Give Everything

Fr. Theodore Trinko, IVE25th Sunday in Ordinary Time “The Judgment of Solomon”, William Blake ​The word capital has a lot of different meanings. It could refer to an important city from which a region is governed, and so Annapolis is the capital of Maryland. It could refer to a letter which differs from its lowercase version in height and form. In economics, capital is that surplus of wealth or assets used to begin a new enterprise. In architecture, it refers to the highest point of a col […]
