Tomorrow I head “up north”. I will take my wonderful portable altar made by St. Joseph’s Apprentice.
During my time “up north” I will say Mass for the intention of my benefactors (regular monthly and occasional donors, people who send stuff from my wish lists) on Sunday, 4 Sept.
Speaking of benefactors, today, the 31st of the month is one of the lean days. There are only two readers who have subscribed to give a monthly donation on the 31st. If you are regularly using and benefiting from this blog, please consider subscribing. There are several options in the drop down menu.
Your help is greatly appreciated. It is my pleasure and my duty to pray for benefactors. And I always remember, DY and GS.
