Prayers today, please. I have a few daunting tasks during the day.
Perhaps in your kindness you would ask God to send His holy Angels to protect me and all other readers here, who have need, from all spiritual and temporal harm.

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

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.

From the, “The Order of Melchisedech”
A Sermon by St. Ambrose, A.D. 340-397
May the Lord our God preserve you in the grace He has given you, and may He deign to enlighten yet more the eyes He has opened, through His only Son, the Lord God our King and Savior, through Whom and with Whom be there to Him, together with the Holy Ghost, praise, honor, glory, magnificence, from all ages, and now, and for ever and ever, world without end. Amen.
Praying for you Father as always for all Priests. Will ratchet it up for you today. :)

Praying for your Father.
And for good measure, to one of my favorite intercessors for you.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host –
by the Divine Power of God –
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Have prayed for you off and on today, and will include you in tonight’s rosary. I hope your day has gone well.
Done
Will pray for your intention “auxillium Christianorum”
You are in my daily intentions for priests. Because you are asking on a more regular basis now, I will add the intentions of the faithful who participate in this blog to my prayer list. Priests are prayed for on the Glorious mysteries, the faithful are prayed for on the Joyous Mysteries and the dead are prayed for on the Sorrowful Mysteries. Please know that you are kept close, Fr. Z. Has been that way since I met you, all those years ago…
AMDG+
will pray
