“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

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
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?

CHALLENGE COINS!

Want one? I do exchanges with military and LEOs, etc.
PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?
Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

O Almighty and merciful God, who hast commissioned Thy angels to guide and protect us, command them to be our assiduous companions from our setting out until our return; to clothe us with their invisible protection; to keep from us all danger of collision, of fire, of explosion, of fall and bruises, and finally, having preserved us from all evil, and especially from sin, to guide us to our heavenly home. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Father,
We will certainly remember your intention, as we are looking forward to meeting you in person and showing you around “Big 71.” Until then, God keep and guide,
Fr. J.
Padre –
Spero che non hai biglietti per volare con “American”? Ti auguro un buon viaggio! Ci vediamo a Virginia.
Padre C
You might have to worry more about flights canceled due to inspections :(
Prayers said ;)
Father, have a safe trip. Best regards from Miami.
I think that since Father Z is a great part of the battle for our Catholic identity and heritage, the prayer for good weather commisioned by Gen. G.S. Patton is well suited to the occasion: “Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.”
Have a good flight, Father…Semper Fi!
Father, Safe and on time travel prayers offered. Looking forward to this.
Father, Safe and timely travel prayers offered, looking forward to this weekend’s events.
God Bless your travel, Father.
I would like to ask YOUR prayers for
my son-in-law who received a level 3
concussion in their 1st National Hockey
league playoff game Wednesday evening.
Thank you.
My husband is also travelling and I will say a prayer for you both.
JMJ, a prayer also for your son-in-law for his swift recovery.
Father, you should offer a votive Mass- there is one with suitable prayers for fair weather in the missale. I’ll also say a prayer.
From the plane via my phone: reciprocal prayers especially for that concussion injury.
Father, Praying for a safe and peace-filled flight for you! Love your blog!
The cloud cover broke yesterday and the weather looks to be great for your arrival. Welcome to Virginia! Looking forward to seeing you tonight and at mass this weekend.
God Bless your journey.
Mike
I made it! Thanks for the help!
Glad you’re safe and sound. Thanks for letting us know!
Allmigthy and eternal God. Hear our prayers for as better and wonderfull weather in the esat coast of the U.S., and help and protect Father Z in his trip. Amen
Folks, thanks for the support of prayers. There were a few tricky moments along the way and a close connection, but I got to my destination in good time.
Thanks again!
i’m happy to hear that Fr. Z, may the Lord protect you during your journey. In other news i’ve to ask you to pray for me, because i’m starting tomorrow my clases in the Saint Joseph Seminary, here in Panama City. Thanks for all
I did not doubt that it would.
