“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

Daughter #2 is getting married in a week and a half to a solid Catholic young man. The Mass and the music will be reverential and beautiful, in a beautiful cathedral. Many young children and toddlers, the next generation of faithful Catholics, will joyously be part of the celebration!
The cartoon reminds me of a quote from Andrew Jackson. At the Battle of New Orleans the redcoats advanced in oncoming ranks across a flat field. Our side swept the field with musket fire. The Brits fell like leaves from a tree. That evening as the sun set, a truce was arranged. Immediately the fallen redcoats jumped up and ran for their lines. Jackson said he had had a premonition of resurrection day.
I have a feeling that the comic was made by a Yankees fan.
When the devil swings his tail, it means God’s graces are being poured out in abundance.
One of my Altar Servers has been accepted to Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, NE.
My TLM continues to grow. We had a new record this past Sunday with 82 present. In 2016, we were in the 20’s.
Noting on that our little church does not have a set of rose vestments, one of our newer parishioners said he would like to purchase a set for us. On the advice of our former parish priest he sent away to India. We just received it and it’s beautiful—rose with violet and gold accents, rich feeling material—plus it came with a maniple! Ours is an Ordinary Form parish but we have had EF Masses occasionally.
In this day of polyester chasubles adorned with modernistic images I am so pleased that our benefactor chose such a beautiful set.
My son is getting married to a fine young Catholic lady, and (unless something goes wrong) expects it to be a Solemn High Mass, on the Feast of Ss. Peter and Paul.
I’ve mentioned before that I have a new bishop.
7 new priests at Institute ordinations in Italy in July. I understand 4 of them are Americans.
Middle son now a high school graduate.
My little sister is expecting her fifth child.
My dad is finally getting his hip replacement.
Los Angeles is getting a third FSSP priest beginning this summer.
My local parish church in Southampton, UK will soon begin a second EF Mass weekly – we already have one each Thursday evening, and from the beginning of September, we will have one every Sunday morning as well.
My fifth child, who is autistic, received her First Holy Communion on Friday at the evening First Friday Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Wish I could post a picture. She is ten and was so super excited. Father had quizzed her a week ago to determine if she was ready. He asked her what the Eucharist was and she replied, “The Lamb of God”. Father asked what that was and she replied, “Father, you should know. It’s Jesus!” I will admit that I was very nervous since textures bother her especially food textures. All week, I kept reminding her not to spit out Jesus. At first, she put her hand over her mouth, which is a sign that she’s not quite sure, but then she finished consuming, removed her hand, smiled, and said, “Now Jesus, enter my heart.”
Just back from the Chartres Pilgrimage, which this year was the largest ever with 14,000 pilgrims. Our Chapter was also the largest ever, with 40 pilgrims, some older not doing the whole journey but we had on average 30 who walked it all. Inevitably some will fall out at various stages due to tiredness, blisters etc. etc. but join again as soon as they’re able. The logistics of the organisers enable this – they are terrific! And the weather was 80% good, against expectations. Deo optimo gratias.
Had the privilege of attending a weekday Mass celebrated by iPadre this morning, and with any luck, will be singing Sweet Caroline in the mid-8th inning in Fenway tomorrow evening. Even with the uncertainty regarding my employment situation…one has to grab those moments of grace and joy that the Lord sends when He deems fit.
I was officially accepted into nursing school (an LPN program). St. John of God, pray for us!
