Website linked to "She Also Collects Collects"

I've linked this website to my Collects collection.  

I especially like it because it has the prayers in both Latin and English.

New Addition to my Rosary Art Collection

Here is the latest addition to my Rosary Art Collection.  I selected it because it shows the Holy Trinity crowning Our Lady.

Today's Homily - 2013-05-22- Deacon John Paul Mary - St. Rita

When Deacon John Paul made his tongue-in-cheek suggestion at the beginning of the homily, I'll

bet I'm not the only  viewer who yelled, "NO!"

LOL!

Don't miss Fr. Mitch's comments at the beginning of the show.  I agree with him, absolutely!

This Week's Fan Fiction

Revealed Relationships

Chapter 14 is now up.

Desperate Measures
An Another World/Third Watch crossover.
(Characters are from Another World.  Story 
was inspired by an episode of Third Watch.
Amy Carlson, who played Josie on Another World, 
and Taylor on Third Watch, told her mother NOT
to watch that episode!)

New Magnet Ordered

I've just ordered another magnet for my collection.

Liturgical Abuses

I was horrified by the following item from this article.

Let me explain. In Latin America, beside the beautifully and carefully celebrated Masses associated with the major popular devotions, liturgical abuses are still alive and constitute a massive problem in the region.

It is not a situation of omitting or changing the rubrics here and there. The liturgical problems are much more serious. They consist of events like priests “concelebrating” the Mass with the youth at the rhythm of tropical songs in Colombia; “consecrating” cakes with Guayaba marmalade in Venezuela; a “reggae” Mass in Panama; or a priest celebrating with vestments portraying Batman and Robin while squirting holy water with a green-and-red water pistol in Mexico.

This is no exaggeration. Such abuses are happening now.

I read the article with a mixture of shock, disbelief, anger, and sadness.  These so-called Masses are sacrilegious.  They are also ridiculous, in the following sense:

ri·dic·u·lous  

/riˈdikyələs/

Adjective Deserving or inviting derision or mockery; absurd As for that priest who uses a water pistol at Mass, my opinion is that someone should take his toys away and send him to his room!

Late-Term Abortion Doc Caught Comparing Unborn Baby to “Meat in a Crock Pot”

Late-Term Abortion Doc Caught Comparing Unborn Baby to “Meat in a Crock Pot”

Some of the MOST disgusting words from a (cough cough) "doctor" I've ever come across.
Thank God I hadn't just eaten! As it is, my stomach is feeling queasy.

What Reproductive Rights SHOULD Mean

To me, reproductive rights should mean making quality  pre-natal care available and affordable  for every pregnant woman. It should mean employers providing pre-natal vitamins to their female employees.  It also means that if a man's wife does not work outside of the home, and is carrying a baby, then that man's employer should supply pre-natal vitamins for him to bring home to his wife.

Two Paintings of The Last Supper Added to Collection

I added two paintings of The Last Supper to my Rosary Art Collection today.

One is by Jacopo Bassano, and the other is by his son, Leandro Bassano.

Newly Discovered Info about my Father

I found an article about a camera club being formed in a high school in New London, Wisconsin in 1938.  The Robert Brown mentioned in this article HAS to be my father, because:

1: He lived in New London, Wisconsin.

2: He would have been in high school at that time.

3: He later became a professional photographer.

Who knows?  Maybe someday I'll find, online, some of the photos he took back then.  I have quite a few he took years later; most of them feature ME!  In fact, once when I had my picture taken for graduation, the photographer remarked that I seemed to be very experienced in having my picture taken, and I replied that I was.

"Are you a model?" he asked.

"No," I replied.  "My father is a photographer."

This Week's Fan Fiction

Right now, I'm concentrating on Revealed Relationships, and I hope to begin posting several chapters a week.  Here is the link to the latest chapter.
