I've removed "Dante's Dilemma" for now.

the same show at the same time.

North Dakota Gov Faces Death Threats After Signing Abortion Ban

North Dakota Gov Faces Death Threats After Signing Abortion Ban

 Threatened with death for protecting the innocent unborn who were threatened with death by abortion!
Let's pray for his safety. 

Why Is This Night Different From All Other Nights?

Every year, at the Passover Seder, the youngest person at the table asks the Four Questions, beginning with:

"Why is this night different from all other nights?"

Was that question asked at the Last Supper?  I like to think that it was, for never before, and never again, could it be so appropriate.

The First Saint I Ever Heard of (Reposted)

The following post makes its annual appearance in this blog.

Slightly adapted from a post in one of my old blogs.

Today is the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary. People love to quote the saints, but we cannot quote St. Joseph. None of his words have been preserved.
I take that back about not being able to quote St. Joseph. We cannot quote his words, but we can, and should, "quote" his devotion to Jesus and Mary.
St. Joseph was the first saint I ever heard of, but that was because of the children's aspirins! LOL!
I like simple, homely {homely as in homelike, not, definitely not, as in  unattractive] images. I love to think about St. Joseph walking the floor when the Baby Jesus was teething.

Afternoon Smoke 2013/03/13

I was watching EWTN, and when I saw that white smoke, I was ecstatic.  And then, what seemed like a very loooooooooooooooooooooong wait until we learned who had been elected.

I am mega-excited!

Pro-abortion group to display massive photos of female genitalia on Cincinnati campus | LifeSiteNews.com

Yes, you read that right.  At first, I was embarrassed to display the full title of the article in the heading of this post.
Planned Parenthood strikes again!
When I read this article, I almost barfed all over the keyboard!  

Beautiful Eucharistic Prayer

Fr. Mitch Pacwa used this beautiful Eucharistic Prayer in this morning's Mass on EWTN.
Of course, no matter which Eucharistic Prayer the priest uses, the most beautiful words are the words of Consecration.

This is disgraceful!   Instead of forbidding their employees to perform CPR, why don't these facilities REQUIRE them to know how to administer it?

Life is precious... at all stages and at all ages.

Weeding Out and Trading

I added a new magnet to my collection yesterday, a wooden fork.  I didn't buy this magnet;  the only thing I buy during Lent is food.  I traded this set to Mom for it. Mom uses magnets as magnets, but she may use this set as a decoration.  I bought it mostly for the bunch of grapes, but now that I have a vintage bunch of purple grapes magnet, I don't need  this set any more.

I've also updated my catalog.  Rather than removing the set I traded, I simply added the words,

No longer in collection.  Traded to Mom on March 1st, 2013 for wooden fork magnet.
