St. Christopher Really Does Make Traveling Easier!

Before St. Christopher:

After St. Christopher:

Brilliant!

St. Athanasius – Sounds Familiar

“He suffered frequent persecution” is putting it mildly. It seems all things old are new again.

St. Joseph the Workman – May 1

As we approach this wonderful feast of the blessed Spouse of the Virgin Mary, Foster-Father of sour Lord, and Terror of Demons, we do well to meditate on the most profound and sublime saying of this magnificent patriarch:

“…”

Proving once again that the wise and virtuous man holds his tongue more often than not and is known for his deeds rather than his speech.

St. Joseph, pray for us (especially us husbands and dads)!

Where Did the Time Go?

Today my only son turned 16.

He is a great blessing to me and my wife.

When he was born I remember an older sibling saying something to the effect of, “Don’t blink because they grow up so fast!”

I dismissed it as sentimental musings.

And yet here we are.

He’s grown up. Where on earth did that time go?!

Thanks be to God for all of His gifts to us, including the gift of time. I pray to use it wisely.

All Rita, All the Time

Just a friendly reminder that I’ll be starting a new StZ Rita novena on April 30. Don’t worry if you send a prayer intention later though. It’s an ongoing novena so I simply add it in and keep going.
