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

Thank God it won’t reach the Philippines.
God bless Chile!
Not to belittle those who lost much and are suffering in Chile and surrounding areas, but whoa! this could have been so much worse, thank God.
Praying for those in the earthquake area, Haiti also and Japan. It reminds us of who is in control.
Please keep the people of Concepcion in your prayers. We have close family friends living in Concepcion and have not been able to contact them. We are extremely worried for their safety.
OPMom, you will have my prayers at Mass today.
My Lord-that map looks scary!
wanda-yes, it does remind us of WHO is in control!
Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St. Teresa of the Andes, pray for Chile.
People in my state NSW, Australia, (the state that Sydney is in) were told to stay off the beaches. The life savers had problems enforcing that.
Please pray for the happy repose of the souls of the earthquake victims.
Our Lord dictated the following prayer to St Gertrude the Great to release many souls from Purgatory each time it is said.
Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
Special Note
The above prayer was given approval in 1936 by the Bishop of Liera, Portugal. This prayer is widely publicised with the claim that 1000 souls are released from Purgatory each time that it is said, however the words “1000 souls” were replaced from the original word “many” and the words “those in my own home and within my family” were added after 1936.

Random Friar:
Your prayers at Mass are truly appreciated. I entrusted my friends to the prayers of St. Martin de Porres. As of this time I have not been able to make contact with them or get any information about them.
