The above is the September offering from the folks at tradflags.com . I’m not an impulse shopper, I promise, but boy, when I’m on their page it’s like, “Hold me back!”
Also, today, Friday September 1, is First Friday. Likewise, tomorrow, September 2, is First Saturday. Click the links to learn about the devotions and then incorporate them into your lives.
Stay confessed!
Go to Mass!
Pray your rosary!
Do not be caught unawares…
Thanks to the good folks at tradflags.com I now have the flag of my Queen flying high above my front yard (just below the flag of Her Son, Our King)!
The Sacred Heart flag is not from Trad Flags but rather from a woman who sold them last year. Either way, I am happy to fly these two magnificent emblems above my home and to ask for the protection and blessing of both the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts.
Also, don’t neglect the Five First Saturdays devotion this Saturday August 5.
It’s the beginning of a new month. You know what that means…

Click here for the First Saturday devotion.
Honor the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts and counter sodomy-pride.
The promises made by Our Lady to Sr. Lucia are a great consolation to us miserable sinners.
TODAY, May 6, IS THE FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
I hope all of you were able to make today’s First Friday Devotion today.
Even if you weren’t able to do that, please try to make the First Saturday devotion this month. Many (trad) parishes offer additional Masses on First Saturday. If you’ve never done this most edifying devotion, please pencil in the next five Saturdays and make the commitment. Our Blessed Lady wants to see you there.
As always, here’s the checklist.
*Sidenote: If you are making the nine First Fridays and these consecutive first Fridays will bring you anywhere near April of 2023, please take note now. Similar to two years ago, the First Friday of April IS Good Friday. If your parish is somehow still able to celebrate the pre-1955 Holy Week liturgies, you will likely not be able to receive Holy Communion on the First Friday in April this year. Receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion is an essential element of this particular devotion. Pray for an alternative. I wrote to Fr. Z on this topic two years ago and the reply was, essentially, “Tough.” Then again, we might find ourselves in a situation where NONE of us can receive Holy Communion. Think about it.
Also, the “weather” balloons are apparently up so I hope you’re all staying confessed.
Today is the first Friday of the month, of the year, and also the Feast of the Epiphany!
Here are your checklists for today and tomorrow.
Go out and get those graces!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
Good morning crew! Although I neglected to post about it, I hope everyone was able to make the First Friday devotion. Today 8/ the first Saturday of the month and as always, I encourage everyone who reads this to make the “five first Saturdays”. Here is a helpful link. For me, the hardest part of this devotion is the meditation but I have searched for and come across some very good videos (sermons and the like) that do the trick. If anyone has suggestions; I would love to hear them and share them.
Also, today begins a novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe. I will see if I can find a text of that to share.
God bless us and the Virgin protect us!
