New God Father!

Over the last 20 years or so I have been asked to be the God Father for 5 people being Baptized and brought into the Catholic Church.

Most recently was last year, and my new God Son, Bo Gavin (and his mom, although she had her own God Family and Sponsor), asked me to by his God Father and Sponsor into the Church.

Check out the great begging of their new life in Christ here!

It is my honor to be his God Father!!

    Wow, it has been just 4 days shy of a year since I last posted here! This is not good. Even worse, my spiritual life has been a bit slack as well.  I've changed that recently, and you will be seeing more here as I talk more on religion, my…

    Yep, more changes in my life! I am in the first stages of moving fully into the life of a Diocesan Hermit.  By that I mean, I am living the Rule of life, but must live it for six month to two years under Private Vows at which time, if…

New Church For Me…

Back at the end of October of 2020, I moved to a new Dioceses and a new Church.  Bought a house to live in for the rest of my life, barring any changes in that area.

There is a Catholic Church 9/10ths of a mile from my house!  The Pastor there is new to the Church, having been there for about a year, coming from Miami after several years working in the pre-seminary and seminary.

He is a very good Homilist, and looks to be a good overall Priest, actually a Monsignor.

During this Covid mess, he has kept his Church doors open, granted with distancing and recommending masks but doesn’t require masks (at least since I’ve been there) if you have medical reasons to not wear one.  (Some places require it regardless of your health status.)

This was a VERY positive move for me in many ways.  I am back, to almost daily Mass, doing my 7 hours of praying most days, and things are getting back in line!

    After a LONG, too LONG, sabbatical, I am returning to posting the Daily Readings on this page.  These "readings" are the daily reading of the Bible as practiced by the Catholic Church.  If you go to Church every day of the week, all year, you are taught the majority of…

    Sunday is a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church.  What this means is you are "required" as part of being Catholic to go to Church every Sunday and "keep it Holy" by dedicating the day to the Lord. Here in the US, because many people started taking jobs…

    Well, for the past month and a half, I have been a bit slack on my spiritual life.  I haven't really been reading much in the way of theology or within my faith (although I have done some "recreational" reading), and I have missed more of my prayer hours that…

Suspension of the Sacraments of the Church…

At the end of March, the Dioceses of Saint Augustine Florida Bishop stopped all Masses, and all forms of the Sacraments of the Church to the lay people.  Churches where closed and locked down and the Priest were no longer to hold Mass, offer up the Host, hear confessions, etc.  Prior to this, in violation of Canon and Tradition, he stopped the ability to receive Communion by mouth.

These actions are very much in violation of God’s orders on His faithful, the Canon of the Church, and the Traditions of the Church.  In fact, in times past, when health or other issues and hard times came up the Priest of the Church INCREASED the availability of Mass and the Sacraments.  Priest historically have gone out of their way to provide to their “flock” and keep them in communion with the Church and God.

It saddens and sickens me that we have fallen to this level of giving up on God and not following His commands.  From the highest levels of the Church down.  And no one, at least local to me, seems to want to do anything about it.  This is VERY disheartening and not good for the People of God.

Much prayer is need by and for the Priest to get back on track and re-open the Churches and back to providing the Sacraments of the Church!

Take an example, for once, of the non-Catholic churches in California, they are opening up without permission and counter to the orders of their Governor..

In Christ

    Two Sundays ago my Parish had our Confirmation Mass, where young adults came before the Church and announced their desire to take the final step, of three, of becoming a Catholic by choice instead of by their parent's decision.  They came before the Church and accepted Jesus as their Savior…
