5:51 was the time of the Roman sunrise.
20:25 was the time of the Roman sunset.
20:45 was the time when the “Ave Maria” Bell ought to have wrung for the Roman Curia. However, it rang on my spiffy “Ave Maria Clock” App.

Some good news. From a reader:
Thanks for all you do. Deo gratias! The Archdiocese of Galveston Houston ordained seven men to the Transitional Diaconate today. They are good men whom I have had the pleasure of teaching. They will be good priests.
At the reception afterward, I was told that we could have as many as 27 men enter formation this year for their propaedeutic year. May the Lord continue to send workers for the harvest! Please keep all of us who help form our future priests in prayers!
Let’s indeed pray for them. There are rough waters ahead.
Rough waters indeed. Here’s a story:
St. Francis Xavier’s birthplace hosts ‘Yoga Congress’ with images of Christ alongside Buddha, Krishna
NAVARRA, Spain (LifeSiteNews) — The Jesuit-run Castle of Javier hosted a three-day “Yoga Congress” that brought together more than 250 participants for meditation, mantra concerts, and Eastern spiritual practices.
From May 1 to May 3, the XII Iberian Yoga Congress took place at the Castle of Javier in Navarra, the birthplace of St. Francis Xavier and a spiritual center administered by the Jesuits. The event was organized by the Spanish Satsanga Yoga Federation (FEYS) and gathered participants from Spain and Portugal for conferences, workshops, yoga sessions, meditations, and activities connected to Eastern and New Age spirituality.

There’s more. What is it with Jesuits and yoga, which is a gateway to demonic oppression and possession? HERE and HERE (of course Jasmine is involved).
I haven’t done much cooking, but I did have some veg I needed to dispatch, so I got a chicken, spatchcocked it, and got to work. That also onion, celery, garlic and fennel.

I put a little brown on that chicken. Added some broth and white wine.


I removed the chicken, drained the liquid and put the veg back in to roast more. Meanwhile, we can start the gravy.

Whisk it into your warm juice and watch it thicken. Just a little bit of color for that roux.

With a sauv blanc from Lazio.

Just for nice.

White to move and mate in 4.

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