“My Queen, my Mother, I give myself entirely to thee!”
The above is the first line of a prayer of daily consecration to the Blessed Mother. In addition to the rosary, I think this is one of the most important things one can do prayer-wise each day.
Today is the Nativity of Mary. Nvp has already written a beautiful piece. I direct you there.

Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us!
Our Lord, in His inexhaustible love of man, allowed His Most Sacred Heart to be pierced that He might pour out His Precious Blood upon us poor sinners.
Why not consider the beautiful devotion which He asked of St. Margaret Mary of making this act of reparation for the sins against His Sacred Heart?
I just read a story linked from Canon212 about a Slovakian priest living in Italy who, as the story tells us, is exiting the priesthood for a woman and their unborn child. This, states the headline, has renewed the supposed debate on priestly celibacy.
Yeah, no…
It should be renewing the debate on morality in general or on effeminate bishops like the bishop of the priest in question who “praised the priest’s sense of responsibility.”
We already knew we were living in clown world so none of this should be a shock. But check out this from the article itself.
Unexpectedly became pregnant? 😂😂😂
The use of that word implies either a basic lack of understanding of human reproduction or (more likely the case) they were intending their actions together be fruitless.
Either way, pray for your priests.
One of the prayers I pray every night is the traditional prayer for the faithful departed. Given that I have heard in recent days of the passing of several friends of friends and others, I thought I would share that now.
“O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, we beseech Thee to grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins, so that through pious supplications they may obtain pardon which they have always desired, through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
Memorize it, folks. It is a very useful prayer to pray many times throughout the day. 
Went out for a drive tonight to pray the fifteen decades. Took my nephew up on his offer to drive his new F-150. Got to do something I haven’t done in about 20 years… Drive a beast in Manhattan!
