New Church For Me…

Posted on by

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…

  • The Rant Continues, Holy Days of Obligation...

    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…

Looking for Postulates!

Posted on by

Hello Brothers in Christ (and Sisters who know of Brothers looking  a life dedicated to Christ!),

The Order of Brothers of Reconciliation is “open for business” and actively accepting Postulates who are looking to find an Order that will allow them to follow the footsteps of Christ through striving for reconciliation with God and His commandments.  The Order is open to all Catholic men from the age of 18 up, that is in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, single, and of relatively good health.

Our chrism is one of contemplation, preaching and teaching, with the focus on helping ourselves come into reconciliation with God first and foremost, then assisting others through seminars, retreats, classes, prayer, and counseling to find and reconcile with God as well.

For more information on how to join us go here!  We look forward to hearing from you!

In Christ,

Friar Don, OBR

    Well, let me rephrase that last post.  Religious life isn't over for me.  I have continued to do the Liturgy of the Hours (LOTH) (7 set prayer times a day, following a set rubrics) at least the four major Hours, and often all seven.  I still read the Bible daily,…
