I was hoping I might be able to catch a glimpse of the brightening comet McNaught last night before I had to head off to meet my peeps. Instead, some clouds got in the way.
This morning, on the other hand, was another sunny foggy spectacle.

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.Help Monks in Wyoming, Fr. Z, and get great coffee too!
Food For Thought
“The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being.”- St. John Paul II
How about Rome in October?

More food for thought:
“I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.”

Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."- Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824.

Beautiful pictures Father!
…I hate to stray off the topic, however I did not feel this was appropriate to post at the Ask Father site. I would like to know your opinion on World Youth Day and if you would advise one to attend this pilgrimage? I grew up in a family that were members of a very liberal Catholic Parish, but as I got older, I started attending St. Agnes on my own. I personally prefer Orthodox to a modernized Mass, and have heard both positive and negative experiences from previous WYD’s from people who share my feelings. It takes quite a lot of effort and time in finding sponsors and I would like to know your personal thoughts on the entire matter.
Kind regards,
MaryAnne
