Before anything else, I want to thank my regular and occasional benefactors for their kindness. I pray for you. My Sunday Mass intention is always for you.
Also I have a budding project over at Substack. I may “cross post” once in a while, but for the most part, those posts will be different. Over there I may emphasize readings and orations of the Novus Ordo (since it isn’t going away any time soon and most of you attend it). Also, I write a weekly offering at One Peter Five, in case you did not know. These days I’m focused on the Sunday Mass formulary for the Traditional Latin Mass, Vetus Ordo. I try to tie together the readings and, usually, the Collect with some mordant asides along the way.

Finally, I have not forgotten that some of you are interested in purchasing things that my late-mother crafted.
Also, I am thinking about selling a brilliant red Roman chasuble with fabric woven with griffins made by Gammarelli. It is great, but Gammarelli didn’t make it quite to my specs. I think I’ve used it twice. I haven’t even freed up the ties. Anyway, if there is some priest out there…. drop me a line. I don’t have many days before my trip to Rome (two, in fact.)
