I just want to quietly live my life, feed my children, drink whiskey, and go to Mass
The Gospel reading for today expresses the especially tender love of God for his friends and family. This post is from the App PRAY AS YOU GO.
"Love one another as I have loved you,"
"A soul cannot have peace if it doesn't pray for its enemies."
+ St. Silouan the Athonite
The best fast is to patiently endure everything that God sends.
+ St. Anatoly of Optina

I stand with the Cardinals. https://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/four-cardinals-several-bishops-sign-appeal-against-coronavirus-restrictions
"The facts have shown that, under the pretext of the Covid-19 epidemic, the inalienable rights of citizens have in many cases been violated and their fundamental freedoms, including the exercise of freedom of worship, expression and movement, have been disproportionately and unjustifiably restricted."
This pandemic is being used as a pretext for the instantiation of more mass surveillance, and curtailing freedom of association and movement.
The virus is real. It is deadly. But it cannot be the prelude to forced vaccinations, implanted chip IDs, or worse.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like today if you never said, “Yes” to Jesus when He called you? If you’re past the age of 40, you have enough information to extrapolate where the many crossroads of your life would have likely taken you if you’d never answered Christ’s call on your life.

Good morning folks another day of high 90's clear weather, continuing the 10 oldest national parks in the world, Sequoia National Park, USA
created in 1890, the park is located in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The park’s natural wonders include gigantic mountains, canyons, caverns, and some the world’s largest trees. Mount Whitney, which stretches 4,418 meters above sea level, is the highest point in the contiguous 48 United States and one of Sequoia’s main attractions. Sequoia’s Giant Forest contains five of the 10 largest trees in the world, including the General Sherman tree.

Abba Macarius said, 'If you rebuke someone and do it with anger, you have allowed a passion to control you. You have not saved anyone and have destroyed yourself'.
“For the sorrow caused in the heart by sin against love is more poignant than any torment.”
St Isaac of Syria
The Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom is absolutely exquisite. Please give it a listen if you haven’t heard it before. ❤️❤️❤️
