Praise for Fr. Gregory Carlson
“Years ago Fr. Greg Carlson was one of my most influential teachers at Holy Cross. His teaching was a model of both clarity and inspiration, and in my thirty years of teaching Classics I have tried to model my teaching on his. When he left Holy Cross, he was so well loved that students dedicated the yearbook to him.” – Jim O’Hara, George L. Paddison Professor of Latin, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Speak, Lord; Your Servant Is Listening

God Goes to Work
You Are My Wonderful Son
This Man Plunged into the Waters of Life
It’s Not about You
Jesus’ Last Temptation
The Lord Turned and Looked at Peter
He Laughed Last and Best
Dost Thou Touch Me Afresh?
