Got food?

Next time you don't feel like making dinner . . . . 

Or your children don't happen to like what you are offering them . . . . 

Remember this little girl.

She looks pretty thankful and happy with hers.

From my big sister.

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would say: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes!

One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger.

Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."

The slave replied only "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows the "why" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.

Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices.

While on the altar, ready to sacrifice the noble, the savage found that the victim had a missing finger and so he was released. 

According to them: he was not complete so he could not be offered to the gods.

Upon his return to the palace, the king authorized the release of his slave to whom he said very affectionately:

- My friend, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men,but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: If God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?

- My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have been sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger.

Therefore, remember: everything God does is perfect. HE is never wrong!

Often we (me) complain about life and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.

Every morning, offer your day to God.

Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, to ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!

Do you ever feel like this?

Do you ever NOT feel like doing the jobs you should be doing?

Oh yeah, this is me this week!


And yes, the look I have on my own face is about the same.

And the goal is . . . .

I know this Abbe. . . . .

This is what he dreams of at night for St. Francis de Sales Oratory, which is the largest church dedicated solely to the traditional liturgy in the whole wide world!!!!!

Probably universe, too!

I counted the servers.  72!!!!!  Yes, 72 servers in that procession.

That would be fabulous, Abbe!

Next year, a Pontifical High Mass with Cardinal Burke at St. Francis de Sales Oratory!  

(We can dream about it!)

Oh Canon, I think I need another roll of blue fabric!

This post is in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes.  Today is her feast day.

The cassocks are blue in honor of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest 

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

St. Bernadette, pray for us.

Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us all.

ONLY A BOY WOULD SAY THIS!

I heard this while my boys were eating breakfast this morning . . . . . .

"Wouldn't it be so cool to watch a 9 hour Godzilla movie?"

The next thing I would hear coming from my 
breakfast table would be . . . .

"Wouldn't it be cool if Godzilla was my pet?"

Let me think about that . . . . . .

Maybe backwards would be best!

"My mom is SMOKIN'!"

Can you imagine one of your children saying, "Dear Mother, please go smoke this cigarette before you paddle me."

This is for you people who haven't been fortunate enough to hear this song.
