I understand that Fr. Rawley Myers has died.
Requiescat in pace.

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

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. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often 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...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

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.

Now he can hopefully be the Saints he loved so much.
An exemplary and holy priest, a wonderful spiritual writer. After such a long and productive life, may he indeed find his place among the saints.
Apparently it’s too early for an obituary to appear, but here is a short biography from EWTN:http://www.ewtn.com/library/PRIESTS/MYERS.TXT
The obituary for Fr. Myers can be read at http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/gazette/obituary.aspx?n=father-joseph-myers&pid=136604602 for those interested. What it doesn’t say is that Fr.Myers helped to keep the Traditional Latin Mass alive during those turbulent years when it was being suppressed. May he rest in the arms of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Wow-another well-known priest passes from this life!
I think I have one of his books…one he wrote on Our Lady.
May he rest in peace, and one day rise in glory!
haleype is right, Fr. Rawley Myers celebrated the first several TL Masses I attended at St. Mary’s Cathedral in the early 1990’s. He was a good and holy priest, and he’ll be sorely missed.
Here’s an interview with him on the 60th anniversary of his ordination.
Fr. Myers funeral mass will be at 11 AM Mountain time today, that’s an hour and a quarter from now. In your generosity, perhaps you could stop and pray for the repose of his soul at that time.
