Friday Penance

Seems hardly penitential when surrounded by ones amazing family.

ZZZ…

It’s been quite the week for me with travels and I have more coming up. Clearly I conked out early last night. But before I did my wonderful son reminded me that we had not said our night prayers. I usually use the prayers found in my hand missal. If you’re familiar with them, they are not a brief series of prayers. But, he knows I’m committed to praying them each night. So here is a “late” post to tell you: mission accomplished. He’s a good son and the time spent in family prayer is invaluable.

Beware of False Priests

Not long ago I posted that there had been a somewhat unspecified threat against the local Carmel here in my neck of the woods. I also mentioned that the diocese had issued a warning to all the parishes here about a this same threat.

Well, it seems the local branches of the MSM have picked up on the story.

“Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston Warns of ‘Father Martin’, a Fake Priest Stealing from Churches”

There is more to the story that KHOU did not report. For instance, this “Father Martin” has used, on at least one occasion, the line that he was “sent from Rome to take a census of Mass attendance on Sundays”. Whoever this guy is, he’s bad news. He certainly seems to know enough of the lingo to worm his way into private areas of rectories. He was previously seen in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Say a prayer that the police catch this guy.

And as always, STAY CONFESSED.

Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us!

She was Waiting for Me

I just got home after a week away for a family wedding. Look who was in my mailbox…

New novena starts on Wednesday. Send your intentions and I will add them.

Contemplating the Four Last Things

Lay Papal Electors? LOLZ

The Remnant is reporting this.

And who would be these pay electors? Whoopi Goldberg? Bono? I’d expect nothing less from the fabulously tacky, stuck-in-the-70’s antipope.

St. Louis Catholic has it right, friends. If the right folks don’t step up soon, it won’t really matter.

As Frank says, “Pray for the Church.”

Memento Mori

For your edification/meditation:

Pray for the dead!

Stay confessed and do penance in this life!

And if this image of a TLM requiem Mass doesn’t move you to those sentiments, there may not be anything that can.
