The Roots of Harvey

Posted on July 24, 2023 | Leave a comment

Friends, I may have started this blog in earnest just over a year ago but this isn’t my first rodeo…

Evidence:

Blacked out but yea, that’s me.

Yep, that was my reply. Oh boy, I had fun going after Jo-To as I used to call him (actually, I frequently called him Blanche just for fun). This was during the Summer of 2018. That’s when I flipped. You may have had a similar conversion story. Here’s another…

You may remember me from such hits as “Hey, Let’s Go After the Cardinal!”

Remember the words of Our Divine Master, “Be not afraid.”

Golly, those were fun times. But now I’m tired and need to sleep. Time to reach for the remedy…

Nighty night babies!

St. Joseph, pray for us!

I’ve posted this video before but I think it is always worth a repeat.

It seems I missed a post. No worries… I’m recovering from a long drive. More to come later today.

Carmel Comes through Again

Posted on July 21, 2023 | Leave a comment

Right before leaving Denver this morning for a 14 hour (including lunch break) drive home to Texas, I was able to avail myself of a beautiful Mass at the Littleton Carmel. What a beautiful church and a beautiful (and young, and full) community.

Pray for our priests, especially the young priest (I think he’s my age so of course he’s young) who offered Mass and preached a wonderful sermon about St. Lawrence of Brindisi.

Mother of Priests, pray for us!

Littleton, CO Carmel

Another Rocky Mountain Church

Posted on July 19, 2023 | Leave a comment

Today’s Mass was at St. Scholastica parish in Erie, a town about 20 miles north of Denver. I spoke with a friend about my experience and said to him, “for a parish the swings both ways, this place is quite beautiful.” That’s obviously a reference to the NO Masses also said at this church. Take a look. There’s only a small hint of the 70’s here.

I’m not sure, but I think the little stick figure man is supposed to represent Holy Orders?
XIII – Our Lord is taken down from the Cross

And yet, these might be among my favorite Stations of all time. Just check out the detail.

St. Vincent DePaul , pray for us!

You All Know What Time It Is

A reader sent the following picture.

St. Rita of Cascia, Church of St. Mary of the Assumption. Oswego, NY

I truly love getting these pictures of “Rita ‘Round the World”! More importantly I love praying my novena for the intentions send me. I continue to do so.

May I ask a favor? Well I’m going to anyway… My niece just got engaged to a wonderful young man. He is not Catholic. Two plus two… That’s right, please pray for his rapid conversion. God knows who the young man is and will answer regardless of whether you use a name or not. I thank you for your prayers.

St. Rita, Mirror for Christian Spouses, pray for us!
