Fr. Joseph Mary's Homily for 11/14/2011

Fr. Joseph shares some great anecdotes in this homily.

Expanding My Collection, Again

Once again, I've expanded my Rosary Art Collection.
It will now include pictures of stained glass windows. So far, I've added
two.
I have always loved stained glass windows; it's about time I included some in
my collection!

Hair Ribbons

I wear my hair in a simple ponytail with a ribbon.
I choose each day's ribbons according to that day's commemoration.
Weekdays, optional memorials, and memorials rate a grosgrain or cotton ribbon (mostly
grosgrain.)
Most of my ribbons are grosgrain.
Feasts and solemnities are celebrated with a satin ribbon. (I have several, but could use
a couple more.)
On Saturdays and feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I wear a light blue hair ribbon.
I have only one ribbon for Sunday; a gold gauze ribbon with gold trim.

When Using An Electric Coffee-Maker

I've learned some, but not ALL, of this by experience.
1: Be sure to add water; otherwise there will be a stench! (or worse)
2: Make sure that the pot or cup is in position, OR make sure you have plenty of paper towels
on hand.
3: Make sure coffee-maker is plugged in.
4: Make sure coffee-maker is turned on. Omitting these two steps will mean a long
wait for nothing!
5: VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
Be sure to add the coffee! To paraphrase L.M. Montgomery's "Anne Of Green Gables,"
Coffee is so essential to coffee!
