“Mary, in the first hour of her life, brought more glory to God than all the Saints of the Old Testament.  In her were made perfect the obedience of Abraham, the chastity of Joseph, the patience of Job, the meekness of Moses, the prudence of Joshua.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Benefactor Mass Now Added for THURSDAYS!

I mentioned this on the last Podcast, but forgot to post it in writing.  Another priest is on board for Thursdays, and thus we are now up to Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for Masses offered for my Benefactors and Supporters.  Including the ones who have decided that they hate me.  Once you’re on the list, you’re on the list forever!

Adding to the “cool factor”, our Thursday priest is a Naval Chaplain, and thus very often the Thursday Benefactor Mass will be offered AT SEA.  Always in the Venerable and August Gregorian Rite, of course.

Undying thanks to one and all.  Be assured of my prayers at the Foot of the Cross every day. If I am a failure as a person, and my life has been nothing but a series of terrible sins, mistakes, errors, and missed opportunities, at least I know that there is no way that all of these Masses, offered for all of you and the eternal salvation of your souls, could be anything other than an amazing, good, wonderful and worthwhile thing.  It is a consolation to me just knowing with complete certainty that at least one unquantifiably good thing is attached to my life on this earth.

Fast and pray!
