Queen of Heaven Rejoice!

More than once since yesterday I have found myself halfway through the Angelus before remembering that there’s a switch to the Regina Coeli for Easter.

Here you go.

Alleluia!

It Almost Wasn’t But It Was

Posted on April 8, 2023 | Leave a comment

Whatever tomorrow brings, the Easter Vigil I attended tonight – full pre-1955 grandeur for Our Lord – almost did not take place. I thank the Risen Lord that the wicked plans of men were thwarted for now.

Pray for the Church.

The Lord is Risen, Alleluia!

Also, a happiest birthday to my dear Mom who turned 86 today! Love you, Mom!

Crux Fidelis

Posted on April 7, 2023 | Leave a comment

“De parentis protoplasti fraude Factor condolens, quando pomi noxialis in necem morsu ruit; ipse lignum tunc notavit, damn ligni ut solveret.”

“Eating of the tree forbidden, Man had sunk in Satan’s snare. When his pitying Creator did this second tree prepare; destined many ages later, that first evil to repair.”

Listen and weep…

Think You Can’t Fast?

Posted on April 6, 2023 | Leave a comment

I promised I wouldn’t do anymore posts on fasting. And then I came across some things in my YouTube feed. It seems there’s a trend recently promoting the “72 hour water fast” Yes I know, the wording is off. You’re not fasting from water, rather only consuming water during the fast. My point is that even the mentally retarded folks over on Tik Tok can go for three days without a morsel and they appear no worse for the wear. Then again, it’s hard to tell if they’ve suffered any brain damage since the baseline was already so low.

It’s not too late.

Fast.

Accepting the Cross with Joy – UPDATED

Posted on April 5, 2023 | Leave a comment

***Writing a postage at night is great… except when you make a very obvious mistake. The Station below is clearly the SECOND Station and not the First. Not only should I have caught my own mistake but the Roman numeral “II” in the picture should have guided me. Lord Jesus, meek and humble of heart, have mercy on me!”***

I have used the following picture before. It is the first Station of the Cross in mosaic as found in my home parish growing up.

The First Station, mosaic, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Newark, NJ

As we enter into the Sacred Triduum, consider the joy with which Our Lord embraced the cross. Emerich tells us that at several moments in the Passion He was overjoyed at what lay before Him for through the cross He would save His people.

Take up your cross and follow Him…
