We Will Recover

Not quite the 6-9” we were promised proving once again that forecasting weather in Texas is futile.

It’s Not Quite Hell Freezing Over

… but snow in Texas? Yep, it happens. I’ll try to get some pics up later. Meanwhile, I’ll be by my fake fireplace sipping my very real hot chocolate.

Our Lady of the Snows, pray for us!

A Saint for Everything

I do love our Catholic notion of patron saints.

Take a guess who I’ll be seeing in the near future…

Nothing serious but it helps to have a heavenly ally.

Bless This House

It’s that time again!

Hear us, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty; Eternal God, and send Thy Holy Angel from Heaven to watch over, cherish, protect, be with, and defend all who live in my house. I call upon Thy Saints Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar to protect my family and my home from every harm and danger, and I placed the marks of their holy names over the doors of my home to remain there as a constant reminder to us and to all who enter here that my house is truly a house of the Lord. O God, make the door of my house the gateway to Thy Eternal Kingdom. I ask these thinks in the Name of Jesus Christ Thy Son. Amen.”

McElroy to DC?

At the Name of Jesus

Reposting this video because I love the song and I like this arrangement. Disregard whatever denomination Protestant they are. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

January 5 is the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus – the only Name by which we may be saved.

Call upon His Name in every instance of your life. It is a most beautiful and most powerful Name.

First Saturday of 2025
