Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

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.

I mentioned the high temps already. What else could make this Christmas truly Texan?…

Saw a headline that read “North Texas has only hit 80° on Christmas Day twice in 130 years. This year will mark the third time.”

I sense I should have been praying for snow this whole time.

Fourth Sunday of Advent, Collect from the Mass:

“Put forth Thy power, O Lord, we beseech Thee, and delay not: and with Thy great might come to our aid, so that what is hindered by our sins may be hastened by Thy merciful goodness. Qui vivis et regnas…”

… when you get a new archbishop rammed down your throat.

I don’t think Paul Lynde could have given a more flaming press conference.

… those files were coming out today? Or any day for that matter?

Go to 2:21 and watch if you can stomach it.

Go with your gut on this, friends. Although my kids are older now (and both very good shots and thereby able to defend themselves) I really don’t think I would have felt comfortable, leaving them in the presence of a man as flamboyant as this. But he’s synodal, I bet.

He’s one of them. ‘Nuff said.
