Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

Saw this last week at a local chapel where I sometimes go to confession.

Ironically, I spent the day today accompanying a friend to the emergency room where I – an indigenous man – sat surrounded by foreign invaders spreading disease.

If you happen to be looking for some way to help the victims of the recent hurricanes, I share the following post out of NC.

“To Thee, O Lord, we commend the soul of Thy handmaid, that being dead to this world she may live to Thee: and whatever sins she has committed in this life through human frailty, do Thou in Thy most merciful goodness forgive. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.”

The friend for whom I asked prayers a few days ago has gone to her judgment.

We will all go to our judgment.

Stay confessed.

Love God.

Love thy neighbor.

Strive to grow each day in virtue and holiness.

On a personal note, she was a dear, dear woman and a true friend to all. She will be missed in this life. I know that she had completed first Fridays and first Saturdays many times in her life on earth. She was devoted to the Blessed Mother. She died on Our Lady’s weekly feast day. God grant her eternal rest with Thy saints forevermore!

For the three of you readers who don’t remember. Yours truly traveled to Siesta Key/Sarasota on a family vacation two summers ago. The other four of you remember well. I attended Mass in this beautiful church and enjoyed the magnificent beach and local community. We’ve started in touch with the innkeeper of a local establishment and we happily returned and sent her the referral business of friends.

The church, it seems from the above post, is just fine and Holy Mass was celebrated there in the aftermath of Milton.

Deo Gratias!

Everyone’s favorite news aggregator, Frank Walker of Canon212.com is just fine. I checked in with him and he and the family survived largely intact. A more gracious man one could not hope to meet.

Again, Deo Gratias!

With permission of the priest in question I share this Instagram . I laugh because I know the guy and seeing him as the subject of an Instagram is, well, simply amusing. That said, God be praised that all my peeps in Miami have received this blessing.

Deo Gratias all around!

Sorry, folks… Got a little distracted with something that we do every year as a family.

If you can’t tell that I’m not talking about watching an old Rodger’s and Hammerstein musical, then you’ve never been to Texas.

There are a lot of terrible things going on in the world right now

But my New York Mets just beat the Phillies to advance to the NLCS.

So there’s that.

Let’s go Mets! Ya’ gotta believe!

If through the wonders of modern technology, you lay eyes on this post, please pray for a dear friend who is on her deathbed. She once told me she wanted nothing more than for her children to become saints and then for her to die clothed in the scapular with the rosary being prayed around her.

St, Joseph; patron of departing souls, pray for her!
