It’s getting weird.

May I also ask prayers for safe travels? I’m flying out on business this evening. Thank you!

From the daily meditations of Liguori:

“Blessed Denis the Carthusian says that the Passion of Jesus Christ was called an excess, —And they spake of his excess, which he would accomplish in Jerusalem (Luke ix. 31), –because it was an excess of mercy and of love: “The Passion of Jesus Christ is said to be an excess, because in it was shown forth an excess of love and of compassion.” O my God, and where is the believer who could live without loving Jesus Christ, if he were frequently to meditate upon His Passion? The Wounds of Jesus, says St. Bonaventure, are all of them Wounds of love. They are darts and flames which wound the hardest hearts, and kindle into a flame the most frozen souls: “O Wounds that wound stony hearts; and set frozen minds on fire!” In order the more strongly to impress upon his heart a love towards Jesus in His Passion, the Blessed Henry Suso one day took a knife, and cut out in letters upon his breast the Name of his beloved Lord. And, when thus bathed in blood, he went into the church and, prostrating himself before the Crucifix, he said: “Behold, O Lord, Thou only love of my soul, behold my desire. I would gladly have written Thee deeper within my heart; but this I cannot do. Do Thou, Who canst do all things, supply what is wanting in my powers, and imprint Thy adorable Name in the lowest depths of my heart, that so it may no more be possible to cancel in it either Thy Name or Thy love.”

I’m off to lower the Texas flag to half-staff now…

“To understand how ardently God desires the salvation of souls, it is enough to consider what He has done for the redemption of man. Jesus Christ clearly expressed this desire when He said: I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized, and how am I straitened until it be accomplished!(Luke xii. 50). Jesus felt as if fainting away through the ardour with which He longed to see the work of the Redemption accomplished, so that men might be saved. From this St. John Chrysostom justly infers that there is nothing more acceptable to God than the salvation of souls. And before him St. Justin had said that nothing is so pleasing to God as to labour to make others better. Our Lord once said to a holy priest: “Labour for the salvation of sinners, for this is most pleasing to Me.” So dear is this work to God that as Clement of Alexandria says, the salvation of man is God’s sole concern. Hence, addressing a priest, St. Laurence Justinian says: “If you wish to honour God you can do no better than to labour for the salvation of souls.” According to St. Bernard, a soul is more valuable in the eyes of God than the whole world. And, according to St. John Chrysostom, you please God more by converting a single soul, than by giving all your goods to the poor. Tertullian asserts that the salvation of one sheep that has strayed is as dear as that of the whole flock. St. Paul wrote: I live in the faith of the Son of God who loved me and delivered himself for me. (Gal. ii. 20). By these words is signified, as St. John Chrysostom says, that Jesus Christ would have died as soon for a single soul as for all men. And this Our Lord gives us to understand by the Parable of the Lost Groat. “He calls together all the Angels,” says St. Thomas, “not that men, but that He Himself may be congratulated, as if man were God’s God, and His own Divine salvation depended on man; and as if without man He could not be happy.”

Where we stand…

I don’t know if Bibi Mielekowki is dead. I do know his office put out multiple AI videos of him. I dont think Trump saw Joe Kent coming. I don’t know what the hell is going on anymore.

And fire is literally raining from the sky in parts of the country (see earlier post about meteors).

Stay confessed.

Check out this video.

This past Saturday night around 11:00 PM CT, my entire neighborhood noticed something eerily similar in the Dallas area. It was a loud rumbling noise dotted by explosive sounds that lasted about five minutes and was accompanied by flashes of light over the southern horizon. oddly, there was no report on any news source. I even checked with a friend on the city council and he heard it but couldn’t find a police or fire report. My son and I at first thought it was a thunderstorm, but there was nothing on the radar and no rain. My wife thought it was fireworks, but it would have to have been an entire factory of fireworks all blowing up at once. 

What on earth is hapening?
