Now… thanks to all of you who have been sending donations or items from my wishlists. I am deeply grateful to all my benefactors for whom I regularly say Holy Mass.
As a matter of fact, I will designate ASH WEDNESDAY’s Mass, in the evening, 6:30 PM, 10 February, for the intention of my benefactors. For those of you in the zone, Mass will be at St. Mary’s, Pine Bluff. Mass will be in the Extraordinary Form.
Also, some of you subscribe to send a monthly donation. Some days well-subscribed and some are rather lean. Today is a lean day… perhaps because not all months have a 31st day, I don’t know. There are only three people signed up for the 31st. *heavy sigh*
If you use the blog regularly, please consider subscribing for a monthly donation.
Also, as a bonus, I get the opportunity to gain an indulgence for praying for benefactors. In the Enchridion Indulgentiarum conc. 24:
Preces pro benefactoribus
Partialis indulgentia conceditur christifideli qui, supernaturali grati animi affectu ductus, orationem pro benefactoribus legitime adprobatam pie recitaverit (e. g. Retribuere dignare, Domine).
Retribuere dignare, Domine, omnibus nobis bona facientibus propter nomen tuum vitam aeternam. Amen.
Spiffy!
