My travels having concluded, I am safely on the ground where man was always intended to be. Thank you for all the prayers for safe travels.

Here’s one thing I spied out the window on my circuitous flight home…

I’m just a bit late to this one but I wanted to share it nonetheless. And the easiest way to do that is to share someone else’s copy. Hey, in the TV news business we did this all the time with wire sources. We called it doing a re-write and someone it wasn’t plagiarism. But what do I know?…

On January 2nd his year we celebrate the feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. Remember, this name is the ONLY name by which we may be saved. I still remember my mom telling me when I was a young boy and had a nightmare, that the remedy to such evil things was to call upon the Name of Our Lord. Say His Name with greatest love and most tender devotion. Call upon His Name when you are in distress and most importantly, when you are tempted to sin.

God saves.

Jesus is His holy Name.

The collect from the Mass:

“O God, Thou Who appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the Savior of the human race, and commanded that He be called Jesus, mercifully grant that we may enjoy in heaven the vision of Him Whose holy Name we venerate on earth.”

And since I have a love of this song and this group of choristers does a very good job interpreting it, we’ll overlook the fact that they’re, well, not Catholic.
