Thanks from Fr. Z for your PROTESTS

I spent a good deal of time today writing notes of thanks to people who sent in a PROTEST DONATION against the Fishwrap.

I have also added the following names to the list of those for whom I will be saying Mass.

VD, TMcN, TC, LR, FA, MP, DK, HE, MZ, NB, AB, IFA, CG, CDF,KK, T&TS, BK, ACW, RM, PC, MM, BB, Fr. RB, VR, LF, SA,  CR, JK, MPP, CM, AS, MSO – TS,  RT, BT, EE, ML, HM, RM, DB, JCR, AM, GE, MD, CB, RL, WC, NS, CK3, MP, PP

Since donations are still coming, I will also say Mass again for benefactors on Monday.

Some of the notes people added to the form when they sent the donations have been very touching. They ask me to pray for certain things, such as loved ones who are sick, to find jobs, for their own vocations.

In the meantime, Mrs. Grosbeak (left), the first I have seen this season, thinks you should still keep sending donation!

And White-Crowned Sparrow (right) looks on.

However, Mrs. Grosbeak took exception to something.  Perhaps a suggestion that Fishwrap really wasn’t all that bad.  It is.

Fr. Z, I read your blog daily; I have not only learned a whole lot, but the regular reading has strengthened my faith, hundred-fold. Your ministry has also allowed me to approach the pastor of my parish with confidence in topics associated with the liturgy. You will be glad to know that I not only have been doing more frequent (and better) confessions, but have been able to bring one person back into this good practice. For these – and many other benefits to my spiritual life – I am happy to make this donation! P.
