😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  The past 2 ½ weeks have certainly been a lesson in patience.  Brian and I planned to take May 6th – 10th off work to, 1) Kill weeds, level our lot, seed it, fertilize, and cover it with straw.  2) Add gravel to the driveway and levelContinue reading “Wednesday, May 22, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter and welcome to May, the month of Mother Mary.  Yes, we get to celebrate her all month.  Luke 1:28 – 33: ‘And he (the angel Gabriel) came to her (Mary) and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”  But she was greatly troubled at the saying,Continue reading “Wednesday, May 1, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter!  Something that I’ve been thinking quite a bit about lately is the Sacrament of Confession.  I’ve never been comfortable with this sacrament, but maybe that’s the point.  Yes, I get uncomfortable thinking about my sins, but that doesn’t even come close to how uncomfortable JesusContinue reading “Wednesday, April 24, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter!  I sat on my back porch last night to write to you, but very quickly I closed my laptop so that I could take in the evening.  It was a perfect 73 degrees, slight breeze from the south, the smell of fresh tilled dirt fromContinue reading “Wednesday, April 17, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Happy Easter!  Jesus Christ is risen!  Alleluia Alleluia!  The Easter Triduum truly is my favorite time in the Catholic calendar.  Being in a new family of parishes this year, I did some traveling between some of our parish churches in order to experience Holy Thursday, Good Friday,Continue reading “Wednesday, April 3, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  We are half way through Holy Week and are knocking on the door of the Easter Triduum.  It wasn’t too many years ago that I found Lent to be a very depressing, dreary kind of time.  It wasn’t anything that I really looked forward to.  I’m notContinue reading “Wednesday, March 27, 2024”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  I had the opportunity to spend the last three evenings at our parish’s Lenten Mission.  Each night consisted of Exposition and Adoration of the Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, dinner, Vespers, and a presentation by Father Nathan Cromly.  It was a fabulous series of events, communingContinue reading “Wednesday, March 20, 2024”
