Laramie, You Are NOT Alone

Those of us who do say the quiet part out loud, who could give two what the world thinks of us, who never minded being labeled as extreme – us, we need to stick together and speak boldly together.

Check out this piece from Laramie Hirsch.

I’ve been following Laramie’s posts for a little while – always linked by my friend St. Louis Catholic (a man I’ve met and for whom I have great respect) and Non Veni Mark (a man I’ve not met but with whom I have corresponded and for whom I have great respect).

I read the post today and agreed with everything he says.

Click the link above and see for yourself.

How long, O Lord, how long?

And Laramie, if you read this, know that you are not alone. Drop me a line sometime and we can chat.

Yet Again, Prayers for Safe Travels

Heading out with the family to see the family. Want to know painful? 5AM flight. Not boards at 5 – departs at 5.

St. Christopher and all the Holy Angels, pray for us!

Worthy Causes

I’m posting a link to Non Veni Mark’s post on. Boxing Day and Worthy Causes

I echo his sentiment on being grateful I do not need a donate button. I have given to several of the people/organizations listed below.

If you do not check out Mark’s blog on the daily, pleas make sure to do that going forward.

Thanks for the Help!

The general consensus on yesterday’s question about meat was a solid and resounding “NO!”

The leftover brisket and tenderloin waited patiently for me in the fridge until midnight.

I’m Inclined to Believe the Answer is No…

Can anyone in the readership clarify whether meat is allowed on the Friday in the Octave of Christmas?

Shoot me an email if you’ve got a definitive anawer.

Unto Us a Child Is Born!

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!

In Vigilia Nativitatis Domini

From the Introit of the Mass:

“This day you shall know that the Lord will come, and save us: and in the morning you shall see His glory.”

Four candles have burned down to waxy nubs. Our Lord is almost here!

I feel a touch of that anguish that St. Joseph must have felt as he scrambled through the streets of Bethlehem searching for a place for the Blessed Mother of God and the Savior of the World to dwell. Me? I’m just wondering where I put the sherry for that mushroom bisque I’m making for the dinner tomorrow. That’s kind of the same thing, right? I did say a touch; not all the anguish. 

May your day be filled with the joy of that Child Who comes to us defenseless, out of love for us – pure love.

May His Holy Mother, the CO-REDEMPTRIX, keep you close to her Immaculate Heart.

May St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse, protect you.
