This verse reminds me it’s probably time for a general confession. Never done one? I made my first after listening to this:

“It is a terrible subject for our consideration that God does nothing but threaten sinners with an unhappy death: Then they shall call upon me, and I will not hear. (Prov. i. 28). Will God hear his cry when distress shall come upon him?(Job xxvii. 9). I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock. (Prov. i. 26). God laughs when He will not show mercy. Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, that their foot may slide; the day of destruction is at hand.(Deut. xxxii. 35). In many other places God threatens the same; and yet sinners live on in peace, as secure as if God had certainly promised them Paradise. It is true, that in whatever hour the sinner is converted, God has promised to pardon him; but He has not said that in death the sinner shall be converted; on the contrary, He has often declared that he who lives in sin shall die in sin: You shall die in your sins. (John viii. 21). He has said that he who seeks Him at the hour of death shall not find Him: You shall seek me and shall not find me. (John vii. 34). We must, then, seek God when He can be found: Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. (Is. lv. 6). Yes; because a time will come when He will not be found. Poor sinners! Poor blind ones, who wait to be converted till the hour of death, when there will be no more time for conversion. “The wicked,” says Oleaster, “will not learn to do good till there is no more time for doing it.” God wishes to save all, but He punishes the obstinate.”

I don’t use social media, as you know, so the best I could do was ask ChatGPT (using a friend’s account) to summarize yours truly. And this is what I got:

Harvey Millican is the author of the blog “Musings of a Trad Dad,” where he shares reflections on faith, family, and personal experiences. The blog’s Latin tagline, “Introibo ad altare Dei. Ad Deum, qui laetificat iuventutem meam,” translates to “I will go unto the altar of God. To God, who gives joy to my youth.” In his posts, Millican discusses various topics, including spiritual practices like the St. Rita of Cascia novena, emphasizing the importance of prayer and intercession. He also reflects on personal experiences, such as attending weddings and the significance of family life. Additionally, Millican underscores the importance of regular confession and spiritual preparedness, sharing anecdotes to highlight the unpredictability of life. Beyond his writings, Millican has a YouTube channel, though it currently features limited content. [note: Not really true.]. Overall, Harvey Millican’s online presence reflects his commitment to traditional Catholic values and his role as a father, offering insights and guidance to others who share similar beliefs.

Pretty spot on, though I like Grok’s take on my friends posted over at Ann’s page better. It’s all fake and gay in that it comes from a machine somehow true.

Glad the robot picked up on my devotion to St. Rita!

I can scarcely watch this video and I shudder to think of the indignations to which Our Blessed Lord is subject like this all over the earth.

Kyrie Eleison!

Please, in your charity, say a prayer for a young man I met today who was on his way into church as I was leaving Mass. He is to be confirmed in the faith today. He was excited! He has taken St. Michael as his patron. He was even more excited and a little nervous to make a general confession following the confirmation and then to receive Our Lord on Holy Communion at the noon Mass.

God be praised and may the Blessed Mother watch over him!

Definitely worth the listen.

Here it is, friends:

I have seen slight variations in the wording on different sites. The above link is generally in line with all of them.

The idea here is to honor the Blessed Mother during those nine months wherein she carried her Creator within her womb. She is truly the new Ark of the Covenant. I always like that title as I grew up in a city named Newark.

Think it over. You’ll be praying for these three things for a long while – until Christmas Day!

A very wise priest once told me that if you should receive answer to any or all of these prayers, continue praying for the duration of the novena in Thanksgiving and because no prayer in Mary’s hands is ever wasted.

Holy Mother, Mother of Gos, pray for us!
