THE CATHOLIC SUN

By: Hilaire Belloc

Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There is always laughter and good red wine.

At least I've always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!

I use this on a hanging tag for gifting bottles of wine at Christmas.

That's a great idea, Marlelar. Thanks for the tip!
And thanks AMDGJMJ for the verse!

For years I've been wanting to start an embroidered sampler for my kitchen featuring this poem and maybe a laughing monk with a wine bottle or a wine and cheese still-life-- hmm. I'd better get to work.

Don't neglect to post it here when it's completed
