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.

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.

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.

Thank you, Father, for these pod casts. I enjoy listening..trying to get my ears to hear the Latin and the patterns and the words. My knowledge of Latin is pretty limited. But, I try to understand some words here and there. On occasion, would it be possible to add the same prayer in English? I think it would be a great teaching tool to be able to go back and forth between the two. I know that you have tons of work, but, just occasionally? Thank you for all that you do for us, I have learned more about our Church and the Faith from your blog than I can say. God’s blessings.
wanda: On occasion, would it be possible to add the same prayer in English?
I think not. Reading the office aloud, especially the older office, is quite enough once.
I’m sure it is. Methinks I should find my self a copy of your prayer book, perhaps with English alongside. Is there such a thing?..I’ll do some looking. Thank you, Father.
“Reading the office aloud, especially the older office, is quite enough once.”
That is why I prefer the Divine Office in the Ordinary Form… much shorter! ;-)
However, one drawback of the Liturgy of the Hours is that an Optional Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturdays is only allowed in Ordinary Time :-(
Wanda, AFAIK there is no current version in print, though Baronius Press has had one in preparation for a while:

Emilio III, Thank you so much for your kind response to my query. I visited the link and the books look wonderful. I was able to get a close look at some sample pages. They seem like just the ticket for someone such as myself who does not have quite the good command of Latin. I will keep that site with my favorites and check on it from time to time. Thank you, once again.
