When We Forget First Principles

Like… the principle that this artificial intelligence is not now nor will it ever be intelligent. Then there’s the principle that somehow fallen man will suddenly en masse exude virtue. People are using this nonsense because it is EASY and man is LAZY.

Good luck everybody!

Hmm…

I’ll leave this one for you all to think about. If I’m being honest. It seems a little forced. It’s giving vibes of “Benedict was playing 5-D underwater chess.” Of course multiple statements can be true simultaneously.

Anyway, I like the author’s prior work. Give it a gander and decide for yourself.

Sorry for the late , late posting. Spent a few hours overnight in the ER. Not for me. Everything is cool.

Novena Prayer Request – Not the One You’re Thinking

I just received word through my nephew that a friend of his would like any and all to join in a novena (linked below) for a special intention. That friend is John Farrell of the Annulment Proof YouTube channel. I’ve shared his content. I agree with his content. I will pray this novena for him. And if you feel like tossing this one into your St. Rita novena too, then God bless you.

Speaking of marriage, I just came from the wedding of a former student. Please keep her and her new husband in your prayers. I first met this young lady when she was a freshman in high school and I got to know her family. Lovely family doesn’t begin to describe them. To watch her today getting married in a sung Mass in the ancient rite of the Church made me almost shed a tear. I have said before and I repeat it now, God is far too good to this sinner.

Now, go pray for John.

The Sign STILL Belongs to God

Magnificent!

Novena for the Feast

Sorry for the (very) late posting today; but I have been busy. Went to an escape room with my wife and kids. That was fun.

Yesterday, May 13th, is the day many choose to start a novena in honor of St. Rita of Cascia. I include the link to the novena prayers I use every day. It so happens that my own nine-day schedule happens to coincide such that I am also beginning a new novena on this day. The novena will conclude on the eve of the feast of St. Rita.
