I'm a holy man minus the holiness.--E. M. Forster

Sancte Michael Archangele,

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio;
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae Caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Amen.

Happy...

End of the Christmas Season!

And what a season it has been! We got the gift of Mittens to run against Obama. (And the difference is...??) It was announced that Catholic institutions HAD to offer Abortion and Contraception coverage to their employees. Talk about reaping the world wind!! How many "Professional" Catholics supported Obama & the DEMONRATS!! Talk about paybacks being hell.
Now the Susan G. Komen foundation pulled funding from Planned Barrenhood and ALL hell is breaking loose! Komen has been back pedaling & the outcome is still in doubt. It looks like a little payback for the hatchet job Komen did to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati several years back when the archdiocese attempted to curtail funds & use of its facilities for the Volley for the Cure fundraiser!

Can't wait for Lent!!

50 Million American women "Can't" be wrong...

39 years, a few hundred mothers killed, at least 50 Million children killed...

Not sure what to think. I've tried to stand against it, only to get slapped down. Best thing at this point to do is pray...



A prayer for the unborn

O Heavenly Father, Creator and Giver of all life, Author of justice, Source of love and mercy: Although it is deserving of thine anger and punishment, look with mercy on our nation, which has offended thee by condoning the killing of millions of innocent children, thy precious sons and daughters, who, like all of us, were created in thine image and likeness, but whose only offense was their very existence. Amen.

A prayer for Right to Life

O heavenly Father, strengthen us against the mounting forces of anti-life; enlighten those who walk in this deadly way that they may see the enormity of their sin and return to the generous observance of the divine law. We pray, too, for mothers, that they may prize the great privilege of motherhood; and that they may bring up their children in the holy love and fear of God, thus saving their own immortal souls and furthering the honor and glory of their Maker. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Pray for us, St. Gerard, protector of the mother and her unborn child,
that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ!
~~ from “Prayers for Today,” published by Leaflet Missal Co.

Prayer for Life by Pope John Paul II

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life:
Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers
of babies to be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick killed
by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives
and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely,
in order to build,
together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.
~~ Pope John Paul II
Encyclical Letter “The Gospel of Life”
Given in Rome, on March 25,
the Solemnity of the Annunciation o
Stolen from John C. Wright's Journal.
God have mercy on our souls!

Happy New Year!!!

(Good thing today was a Sunday else there would be even LESS people at Mass!!)

It always torques me about how crowded Mass is on Christmas and how EMPTY it is in January! One of these days, One of these days!!!

Bless the families that are separated. May they be brought together quickly.


Also, don't forget the Holy Souls in Purgatory! More are to be released today than ALL others!


"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."

Happy Advent...

Don't Forget to read the Bible (Nativity narratives), go to confession, & do good deeds.
Also, Welcome to the Revised Roman Missal translation!! (3rd time's the charm!! ;^}D)
Oh, and "BOO" on St Anthony Messenger Press for putting out the missal cheat card that says NOTHING about the breast striking during the Confiteor AND bowing during the Nicene Creed! ;^{/

Amen."
