A special thank you to Friar Christopher Dudek, OFM Conv., who is currently studying in Rome at the Seraphicum (Pontificia Facoltà Teologica San Bonaventura), for sending in the picture and article.

Friday October 14, 2016: Our Lady of the Angels Province friar, Fr. Victor Manuel Mora Mesén, OFM Conv. defended his doctoral thesis at the Biblicum (The Pontifical Biblical Institute), in Rome. His thesis was entitled “He aqui que saliò el sembrador. La intención comunicativa del discurso parabólico de Jesús en MC 4:1-34” (“Behold, the sower went. The communicative intention of the parable of Jesus in Mark 4:1-34”). Along with many of the local friars who live and serve in Rome, and members of the Biblicum, the ambassador of Costa Rica to the Holy See was also in attendance.
Good job and congratulations Victor!
