RECENT POSTS and USEFUL NOTES

First of all, because we are all in this together…

YOUR URGENT PRAYER REQUESTS

Next, when you shop online, please use my amazon search box.  It really helps.
Also, support the people who have ads on my side bar, such at the wonderful Benedictine Monks of Norcia and the famous “soap sisters” of Summit. And there’s Mystic Monk Coffee!

Also, I look forward to feedback and voicemail.  Again, check the sidebar for the options.

If you use this blog often, please consider making a monthly donation.  Scroll to the bottom of the blog.  I remember benefactors with Masses for their intention and in my daily prayers.

Lastly, quite a few people have registered recently.  To post comments here, you have to register and be approved.  Please use that “about you” line, which helps me see that you are not a bot or internet thug.  Because I don’t want this to be a fever swamp like the lib catholic sites (e.g., Fishwrap) I don’t want the combox to be a place of unbridled and unconsidered bashing of, especially, the Pope.  Got it?  That doesn’t help you, or me.  Instead, let’s build up our Catholic identity so we can resist the attacks of the enemies of the Faith who are multiplying.
