This is how my day started. How about yours?
We had thunderstorms during the night. This morning, as another wave of the system went through, I caught this.
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

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.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically 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?

Oh, that is breathtaking. Thank you for posting that ray of sunshine to brighten what, up here on the north flank of the Alps, has been a uniformly grey and rainy morning.
Father,
Can I assume the rainbow’s end is the Accademia Santa Cecilia?
It sort of looks as it is ends at one of the Vatican Radio antennas, doesn’t it.
That’s it, I am positive I will make a trip to Rome some time next year. Father, you sure take some great pictures. I
never tire of seeing them.
Thanks!
:-P
p.s. In the spirit this site, the above post should be considered posted in Latin, facing east.
Cumque obduxero nubibus caelum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus: et recordabor foederis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente quae carnem vegetat.
