With regret, leaving Boston.
It was a great trip. Thanks to everyone, especially my kind host at Harvard.

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.

Bless you. Do you LIKE to fly?
Not much. No. Some people think this is cool or glamorous. HA!
LOVE to fly. The other day I jumped out from the third story window and I flew with great delight. The only problem is that I usually land very hard.
Frankly, the flying itself isn’t the real problem. The cramped conditions (it’s really more like cattle transport sometimes, only difference is that with cattle, each transportee is entitled to a certain amount of room) and hassle around it (security, transportation to and from the airport) are.
Have a safe and not-too-uncomfortable trip, father.
I hate flying. I would rather be in a boat. But, I assume there are no longer any flat-boats or paddle-wheels to take you where you want to go, Fr. Z.
Is that the new book by Russell Shaw? I just got my copy…
I start a new job this week that will have a fair amount of flying. I look forward to the destination but not all the airport joy!
Great to have met you, Father. Keep up the good work!
In my experience, flying is a day spent sitting around with two very exciting points (take off and landing) that are over very quickly!!
Father, we loved having you in Boston! Thank you for visiting and we hope come back soon!
From the introduction to the book shown:
Abp. Chaput: “America is mission territory—whether we recognize it yet or not…”
I saw some photos and video from Juventutem on Facebook. Goodness. If I had a TLM that beautiful in my area, I would go all the time! Finally got a little taste of why people are so dedicated to that mass. The TLM I attended several years ago wasn’t close. We don’t have the resources in our area. Hopefully the TLM will continue to be embraced and grow so that we can all enjoy it.
You should send that picture into the National Geographic & title it, “Rare sighting of an empty seat”.
