Yesterday there was a procession at St. Paul’s outside the walls with the chain that held St. Paul in his captivity.
The reliquary was borne by members of the Archconfraternity of the Most Holy Trinity of the Pilgrims and Convalescents, which St. Philip Neri founded at The Parish™. They were specifically requested to participate. Their reputation grows.

A few days ago, I posted a Mom’s Stuff Page. You readers know a LOT about a LOT. Hence, I want to tap your knowledge. And if you see something you want, let me know. Since then, two people have reached out interested to purchase something in the photos. I’ll post more photos soon. I’ll have to move nimbly with this process and I really have no idea what I am doing. I’ve gotten some good advice, however. The last piece of hard news was that the inspector said the roof needs to be replaced on my mom’s house. Please keep me in your prayers and please say a prayer for my late mother as well, 11th hour convert, mother of a priest.
Black to move. Mate in … ?

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
