Introduction	Well, my name is Tom, and I started this blog to write about my return to God through the Catholic Church. First, a bit about the name of the blog... the first part, prodigal, is obvious, as it is about my return to the Father, his rejoicing and my rejoicing at the rediscovery of Him. The second part may be a bit more obscure. Dumb Ox, was what St. Thomas Aquinas was called by his fellow students when he studied at seminary. Although I am in no way suggesting that I match his wisdom in any way, the nickname was given to him because he was quiet, as I tend to be, and kind of 'husky', a term that generally applies to me as well. And, of course, my name is Thomas, so I figured it would fit. With God's grace, my humor will come through so that the writings aren't too dry. And if I'm blessed enough, maybe my journey will help to teach someone, introduce them to a new perspective, or even return to Christ themselves. Here's hoping and praying! God bless, P.D.O.
