This litany cannot be shared enough.

Take a gander…

Big Mike says we’re racist and sexist.

Sorry but I already did 2016.

Let’s see how this all turns out.

And yes, I 100% believe “she’s” a dude.

There’s something very jarring about temperatures in the 90’s in the end of October.

Perhaps the change to standard time next weekend will offset things.

Prayers for a change of season are always appreciated for this northern transplant.

When you ask OurnLord for good works to do…

He sends them to you!

“We promise if our petitions are granted to make known your favor and to glorify God for His gift…” – from the novena prayers to St. Rita of Cascia

I continue to offer my ongoing novena to the saint of the impossible for all the many intentions readers have sent me over the past two years. Happily, I have been able to cross some off the list. Please continue to send your intentions and please remember to pray for her powerful intercession on my behalf.

St. Rita, pray for us!

Fr Isaac Mary hits it out of the park again. Take a listen.

I write this fully aware of my own need to confess often and to not only eradicate sin but also to grow in virtue. No small order, these things. But do them we must. Unlike the false teachings coming out of the Eternal City these past few years – that Christ’s commandments are merely ideals and that we can strive for them but aren’t expected to keep them – I believe Our Lord meant every word of “Be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” I believe He gives His grace to poor sinners who call upon His Holy Name. I believe He pities us with tender compassion from His Cross; but I also believe Him when He says, “Take up your cross and follow Me.”

That being said, I was in Virginia this past weekend for a wedding. On my way to the church, I noticed that my rental car was low on fuel. I stopped at the first gas station I saw. My wife and I – we had lived in that area many years ago – immediately noticed the significance of this place.

At the very pump I pulled up to, on October 9, 2002, a 53 year-old man filling his car as I was now, was gunned down by a man hidden across the road in the trunk of a sedan. You may recall the infamous DC sniper attacks. Clearly he had no idea this would be his last moments.

And I don’t share these things because I am morbid or want you to be either. We simply never know when our time will be up and we must stand before Our Judge.

So again I say,

Stay confessed.

Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Grace, pray for us!
