The Common Place

The Common Place was a book carried by people who wished to collect thoughts, quotations, and memorabilia in a single, common, place. Philip Melanchthon, Robert Burns, John Milton, and Francis Bacon all have published common places, and many other thinkers have ledd famous loci of their own. This blog is an attempt to collect, share, and benefit from our own individual commonplaces for quotations, prayers, and Christian art. Later, we may expand to include other cooperative labors like bulletin blurbs, articles, and catechetical resources.

For now, the main editors are moving our individual commonplaces into this format to beg, borrow, and steal from each other’s collections. Contact Father Gramenz, if you wish to contribute, and he will add you as an editor. You can contact Father Voigt for help with posting. Otherwise, feel free to use these resources, which are all free of copyright, to the best of our knowledge, and to share it with anyone who might be helped.
