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

Ave Maria gratia plena…
Included in My Rosary tonight.
Rosary on the way, Father and I’ll ask St Anthony and St John Vianney to join me in making the prayers efficacious.
Please know Father you will be in my prayers this evening.
Salve, Pater Z!
Consider it done!
+Pax et bonum!+
Eternal Father,
We offer You the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity, of Your Dearly Beloved Son
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins, and those of the whole world.
For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion,
Have Mercy on us and on the whole world.
Of course.
An hour of prayer has been offered for Father John Zuhlsdorf in his time of need. Peace be with you, Father.
You’ve got it, Fr. Z. You wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important.
Praying, Father Z!
Yes, absolutely.
Hail Mary said! Will continue….
For Fr. Z; Peace of Christ be with you Father (this a prayer I sometimes need in times of conflict or disappointment):
Lord Jesus,
teach me to be sweet and gentle in all the events of my life;
in disappointments,
in the thoughtlessness of others,
in the insincerity of those I trusted,
in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.
Let me put myself aside
to think of the unhappiness of others,
to hide my little pains and heartaches,
so that I may be the only one to suffer from them.
Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path.
Let me so use it that it may mellow me,
not harden or embitter me,
that it may make me patient, not irritable,
that it may make me broad in my forgiveness, not haughty and overbearing.
May no one be less good for having come within my influence;
no one less pure, less true, less kind, less noble
for having been a fellow traveler in our journey toward Eternal Life.
As I go about my rounds from one distraction to another,
let me whisper from time to time, a word of love to you.
May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power for good,
and strong in its purpose of sanctity.
May I know you more clearly,
love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly day by day.
Amen.
Count on it Father.
Daily already, but will pray more. Rosary today.
Praying now
on it
Dear God whatever it is Fr. Z wants or needs right now, please Lord, hear our prayers. Our Lady, please pray for Fr. Z’s intentions, amen. All the angels and saints, pray for Fr. Z’s intentions. Amen.
Prayed a Rosary and fasting for you today Father.
Praying for you Father.
Mother Mary, please cover Father Z with your mantle, and present his intentions to Jesus in your hands with all your power God has given you to help us.
Prayed for your intentions just now and will remember you in my evening rosary, Father Z.
Praying!! God bless you Fr. Z, and all that is in your heart.
You got it.
Done just now.
So you don’t want to be a Bishop? Is that it?
Anyway, more prayers.
Prayers said for you Father.
You’ve got my prayers Father. May God Bless you.
Father, I’m praying for you. I hope what ever it is comes to a good resolution. Happy Father’s day to you.
