It seems I missed a post. No worries… I’m recovering from a long drive. More to come later today.

St. Mary Magdalene, pray for us!

Carmel Comes through Again

Posted on July 21, 2023 | Leave a comment

Right before leaving Denver this morning for a 14 hour (including lunch break) drive home to Texas, I was able to avail myself of a beautiful Mass at the Littleton Carmel. What a beautiful church and a beautiful (and young, and full) community.

Pray for our priests, especially the young priest (I think he’s my age so of course he’s young) who offered Mass and preached a wonderful sermon about St. Lawrence of Brindisi.

Mother of Priests, pray for us!

Another Rocky Mountain Church

Posted on July 19, 2023 | Leave a comment

Today’s Mass was at St. Scholastica parish in Erie, a town about 20 miles north of Denver. I spoke with a friend about my experience and said to him, “for a parish the swings both ways, this place is quite beautiful.” That’s obviously a reference to the NO Masses also said at this church. Take a look. There’s only a small hint of the 70’s here.

*I’m not sure, but I think the little stick figure man is supposed to represent Holy Orders?*

*XIII – Our Lord is taken down from the Cross*

And yet, these might be among my favorite Stations of all time. Just check out the detail.

St. Vincent DePaul , pray for us!

You All Know What Time It Is

A reader sent the following picture.

*St. Rita of Cascia, Church of St. Mary of the Assumption. Oswego, NY*

I truly love getting these pictures of “Rita ‘Round the World”! More importantly I love praying my novena for the intentions send me. I continue to do so.

May I ask a favor? Well I’m going to anyway… My niece just got engaged to a wonderful young man. He is not Catholic. Two plus two… That’s right, please pray for his rapid conversion. God knows who the young man is and will answer regardless of whether you use a name or not. I thank you for your prayers.

St. Rita, Mirror for Christian Spouses, pray for us!

Mooch for Prez?

If Roger Stone is right, then I’ve got the perfect slogan.

Print it. Silkscreen it. Run it up the flagpole. But you heard it here first.

“Mike Robinson ‘24 – Bitch, Please!“

In other news, your vote won’t count anyway so have fun with that.

I’m Harvey and I approved this message.

The City of Churches

Posted on July 17, 2023 | Leave a comment

Philadelphia is known to Americans as the City of Brotherly Love (owing to a literal translation of the name). But to Catholics especially since the early 1900’s Philly was also known as the City of Churches. I remember well many times I drove through town on I-95 (95, 95, 95 as John Fetterman would say), seeing the multiple spires dotting the urban landscape and knowing that each one represented a once vibrant parish filled with faithful Catholics who devoted their time and effort (and hard earned cash) to glorifying God Almighty.
