I just finished a skype call with a priest friend who is a busy pastor of a large important parish… and who has a horrible, life threatening disease.
In your kindness will you stop now and stay a prayer for Fr. P?

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

May Mary’s Son be with him.
Praying for him.
Prayers!
Will offer Mass today for him.
Of course!
Done.
I’m praying for him now, and will remember him in my morning offering tomorrow.
I have entrusted him to the Queen of all Heaven and earth with a simple Ave.
I just did, and we will pray for him at mass and in our morning prayers. I just asked my daughter to help me remember to pray for Fr. P and Fr. C (from that other post) and my daughter quipped, “… and Fr. Z?” Fathers P,C, and Z. LOL! Of course! We will pray for them (and you) in our morning prayers and at mass. I have a friend whose daughter just entered a convent. It’s very small so far, but their charism is to pray for priests. That’s what made her want to join.
Prayer? check.
Done.
done. God bless
I will offer my Mass today for him.
Prayers said.
Please also pray for Father C who is the victim of an unjust and unfounded accusation, announced just this weekend. He is a very good priest.
Done.
Done!
Done!
Prayers are on the way, Father!
A van-full of children hurtling home from Mass just stopped and prayed an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for Fr. P. Then, the oldest boy put on “The Battle” from the Narnia soundtrack on . . . loud.
will go and say the Rosary now, for him, and Father C.
St. Rita, pray for him.We pray for Fr. P.

Done – and I’m about to go for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at a parish and I’ll pray for him there too.
Prayers offered.
I worried during mass that my previous comment sounded very flip. I didn’t mean for it to and we prayed very hard for Fr. P and Fr. C at mass and during our rosary. I know that they priests often suffer terribly. q7swallows, I like that.
done
Prayers for them both.
Done.
Done.
