We are having freezing rain at The Sabine Farm. I am guessing that tommorow morning should be absolutely gorgeous.

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

Father,
Is there any book in print which documents the sources for the collects and other prayers in the revised Roman Rite? I’ve noticed you often seem to know whence a prayer originates and I was hoping there might exist some comprehensive source.
Thanks for all of the work!
are you trying to tell us something, father?
Yes, Father is hinting that weather in winter can be quite cold and that causes liquid to change form :-)

A Christmas miracle!!
Well… it’s morning, and not gorgeous. Were there some sun, perhaps it would be. We do have ice, however. The trip to the Sabine chapel was more like a slip.
Don’t be driving that Ferrari recklessly on those
country roads, Father.
