   The local TLM community has planned a workshop on participation in the Extraordinary Form, something I greatly appreciate as a newcomer!

   My good news: Clean bill of health as far as blood tests are concerned, after not getting blood work done for quite some time. There are a few areas of concern in my family history that, thankfully, are not showing up in my system for now.

   I think one of the priests in my parish may be building up to doing the Eucharistic Prayers in Latin. He started out small a few weeks ago, just chanting “mysterium fidei,” but yesterday he did the doxology as well. Actually, he chanted most of the Mass and used incense, neither of which occur very often.

   That and I got stopped on my way into Mass to give my opinion to a reporter about Card. George’s letter on the HHS mandate. I have no idea if it aired or not (I couldn’t remember what channel the reporter was from), but I still got to rep for His Eminence. So that was nice.

    This weekend, despite my wife’s comment that I was working on yet another unfinsihed project, I made THE PERFECT through mortise and tenon joint on a step stool I’m building for the dog (she’s 14 and can’t jump up on the bed any more). It was perfectly square and the tenon fit snug. It took me twenty minutes to set up the cut (and test it on scrap wood) but it was worth it.

    Thank you St Jospeh!!

    A few years ago I had a partial blockage in a carotid artery and had to have it operated on. last week got a clean bill of health, 3 years now with no measurable change. Should be good as long as I stick to my diet (well I did go out over the weekend and have a steak to celebrate!). Deo Gratias!

    Also my son who recently moved to Maine to take a new job up there is doing well and came down for a visit this weekend.

    My Deacon Formation Class has been given the date of Nov. 16, 2013 for Ordination to the Permanant Diaconate. Five years seemed like a very long time, at first. Now, with just over 180 days to go, it suddenly seems a little more real. The rest of my class and I would greatly appreciate you and your readers’ prayers. We still have a lot of classes, evaluations, and interviews, etc., but with the Grace of God, and the call of the Bishop, it could really happen!

    Two posters vying for the Diaconate – yay! Prayers are headed your way, gentlemen!

    As for me, my 2 year old son knelt as I accepted Eucharist on Sunday! He’s been getting pretty coordinated with his stooping, but he actually dropped both his little knees to the floor as he followed Mommy’s example.

    Then, as we were leaving the Church, I always genuflect before the Tabernacle and have been teaching him to say “Bye Bye, Jesus” so he understands why we genuflect. He said it himself today without any prompting (and also while attempting to kneel). The visiting priest tousled his hair and our deacon gave him a high-five for his efforts.

    Ah, there aren’t words to describe the joy and pride my heart has been so blessed with through my little angel. :)

    Little by little, he’s learning!

    On Friday, 17 Feb 2012, we’re being visited by Canon Jean-Marie Moreau of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, who will offer the Votive Mass of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord for us at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa, PA. Canon Moreau is currently in the Philippines touring Latin Mass communities there and it will be interesting to hear about his trip.

    Also, beginning this month, there are now First Friday devotions to the Sacred Heart, including confession & Divine Liturgy, at St. George Byzantine Catholic Church in Aliquippa.

    My parish back home which is notorious for not having confessions, now has a regularly scheduled confession time for a whopping 1 hr that isn’t Saturday at 4:00 pm. I am impressed.

    I haven’t received a rejection email yet from the job I had an interview for a week ago, and my references have been called (and are now acting peculiar…more so than usual).

    I got reprimanded for making a not so great confession, forcing me to re-examine how to make a good confession again. I also now see why one should do a daily examination of conscience.

    My husband got a new job last week, and the day after he was offered the job, an offer was made to buy our house, even though it hadn’t been put up for sale yet! Our Lord is making it easy for us to move. Now we just have to find a house on the other end and everything will be in place.

    Saint Paul Radio will start broadcasting in about a month as the first Catholic radio station in Georgia. I can’t wait to listen in on the way to work!

    I might be getting a paying job for the first time since 2010.

    With flexible hours too!

    Shoveling manure and emptying buckets of guts and vomit. [How offal! I hope you don't chuck the job.]

    This is actually, in all-reality, good news.

    In the past week I have been formally notified that the first of the two required marriage tribunals has found in my favor. It will be in the hands of the second tribunal within the month and their decision should be forthcoming within four months thereafter.

    Deo gratias,

    Tomorrow, Valentine’s Day, the 8AM Mass will be offered for my beloved departed spouse. I didn’t schedule it to be tomorrow, the church office did so I am very pleased. My husband was a baptized and confirmed Catholic but fell away from the Church and belief in God. I pray that somehow, some way, Our Lord was able to offer mercy.
