Something very odd has come to my attention. So I would like to pose to you dear readers this question. In all seriousness, if you know the answer or know someone who does, email me. Harvey@harveymillican.com

What are the “rules” regarding saying a Mass not on the day on which you are saying that Mass? In other words, may a priest celebrate 6 Masses for, say, all the Sundays of Lent on Ash Wednesday? One should assume that these are not “dry Masses” as the people involved most likely do not even know that term. Keep in mind this is not the same as saying a votive Mass for a Saint on a day that is not that saint’s feast day. It has been suggested that Fr. Z. might have some insight in this matter I cannot tell. A search of his blog does not seem to yield anything pertaining to the topic. And yes, TV cameras are involved.

More to come…

I’m thankful to my late dad who taught me to fear God and not men.

I had occasion to drive past this sight in the past week.

Apologies for the angle. A passenger in my car took the shot and thought he was being “artistic”. For the confused, this is what’s left of a Dollar Tree distribution center on I-35 in Oklahoma. Imagine that this building is massive. It’s a giant warehouse. And not too long ago, a massive tornado touched down on top of this building in the middle of the night. On the other side of the highway are the remains of a tiny town that was completely destroyed.

It can come just like that.

No warning. No time for reflection.

I pray to be able to utter acts of faith, hope, charity, and contrition as my death nears.

But in the end, it is God’s to decide.

Stay confessed.

Sent to me by my mother-in-law…

No matter.

My flag still flies all year long and the pole is greased with bacon fat.

To which I reply…

“Well duh!”

To quote another favorite flag of mine,

“Come and take it, bitches.”

I’m in the midst of a quick travel day and thought a nice reminder about the ongoing St. Rita novena would be in order.

The link to the novena prayers I use is below. Please email any intentions you would like me to include.

Thanks to a dear reader in Indiana, I received a link to a page explaining the origin of the “Mothers of Lu” prayer that I referenced my last post. It turns out Lu is a place and not a person.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with me. I now happily share it with all of you.
