In your charity will you pray for the swift recovery of a friend who had surgery for acute apendicitis?
I ask a prayer for myself.
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?
For a one time donation...
Yes, Fr. Z is taking ads…

May the Mother of God come to the assistance of your friend with appendicitis, and may the Son of God be in your corner, Father.
You have misspelled the name of the affliction: it is correctly spelled “appendicitis.”
Will do Father.
Dominus vobiscum!!!
May God grant your friend a speedy recovery with all of hiss mercy and love! :]

Prayers, and empathy (and let’s hope your friend does not have anyone overly humorous in the recovery room, as I did; laughter is quite painful).
We’ll remember you and your friend in our nightly family rosary.
