I’d like to offer a big shoutout to the good Trad Folks of the Kansas City area for keeping the faith alive! I had no shortage of options this morning.
Due to the timing I opted for the 7:45 Mass at Old St. Patrick’s Oratory downtown. This parish is run by the Institute of Christ the King. Pictures below.
Later in the morning we headed out of town on our next leg of the journey. We were driving north on I-35 on our way to Dubuque by way of Des Moines. In the distance I saw flashing lights that, despite several miles of roadway traveled, never got much closer. I surmised correctly that it was an honor guard of sorts. We eventually got up close to the convoy. It was six ambulances all bearing the markings of the Buchanan County, Missouri EMS Department. A quick search on my phone revealed that they were carrying the body of their chief medical officer who had died in an ATV accident just yesterday.
We offered a rosary for his soul as we rode alongside his remains for about 45 miles.
It is beautiful how God brings us into contact with people we never knew in order to pray for their souls.
Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord!
Tomorrow’s Mass will be in Wisconsin.
