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!

Folks, another one is heading to Florida. This one promises to be catastrophic in a way we haven’t seen in forever. Barnhardt points out that St. Petersburg has quite the sizable sodomy community (as she rightly pointed out Asheville’s demonic hub). I’m not arguing her points.

I will simply say this. I am reminded of a story about someone asking Gos whether He would spare an evil city if there were just ten just men there. Friends there are some decent people in Florida. And I hope they’ve gotten out.

I’ve been saying this for years. How many tens of millions of slaughtered babies did we think God would tolerate before His Mkther stopped holding back her arm?

Pray.

I always hope for the conversion of the sinner – myself chief among them. But pray before it is too late.

And stay confessed.

St. Joseph, protector in storms, pray for us!

…because I’m sure there’s more coming.

The astute reader may have noticed that I have been busy of late. Travels, homeschooling, life in general.

That being said, I know how important it is (and how difficult it can be) to maintain an active prayer life. One of the most helpful aids I have come across in recent years is a podcast from Fr. Isaac Mary. It’s about 24 episodes in currently. If you have not listened to any of it, I suggest you start at the beginning. The initial episodes offer incredibly good advice on how to structure one’s day regardingprayer. Fr. has recently moved into a discussion of mental prayer.

Please check it out and please consider offering a prayer or two for yours truly. Thanks you!

Not with God!

Another longstanding prayer of mine has been delivered.

First, plan to make this beautiful devotion and to see it through.

Second, here’s a meditation (since meditating for fifteen minutes on a mystery of the rosary is required.

Check this out…

And what does it all mean?

Who can say…

Kind of interesting though especially given everything else going on in the world.

It’s not like anything is going on out there, right?

Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Synod on Sin, Israel, Lebanon, Russia, Ukraine, Helene, earthquakes, etc…

And what else would be coming up soon? Hmm… I wonder.

Oh yes! The anniversary of the miracle of the sun!

Stay confessed.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
