Pax at bonum

Peace and all good (be with you)

Does a greeting get any better then that? I picked this up from my good friend and colleague Harry Colin over at his awesome blog http://solinusonstewardship.blogspot.com/

Good stuff and don't be shocked if I "borrow" this and make liberal use of it!

"Pax et bonum" is the traditional Franciscan welcome and goodbye. Francis himself favored its use, and often began and ended his sermons and letters with the words. Translated from the Latin, it reads "peace and all good [be with you]."
