God bless EWTN for taking such a courageous stand against the HHS!

Collecting Collections?

I now have three collections. I think that's enough! If I go on,
I'll end up with a collection of collections!
Then again, perhaps I should start just one more collection, just ONE
more. Maybe I should collect various versions, [including some very
old Latin ones] of the opening prayer at Mass.
Then you could say about me,
"In addition to her other three collections, she also collects Collects!"

New Item in my Chocolate Collection

I've added this website about The Hershey Company to my Chocolate Collection.

New Pictures

I've added two more pictures to my Rosary Art Collection.
The Annunciation
(notice the cat in this painting!)

The Last Supper

Homily 2012-02-07 - Fr Mitch Pacwa SJ - Saint Colette of Corbie - Virgin

I love it when Fr. Mitch talks about the Jewish tractates. In this homily, he mentions
one I especially love, Tractate Avot, also known as Pirkei Avot.

Item (Singular) in Collections (Plural)

I've just placed this radio commercial
in my Vintage Media Collection
and my Chocolate Collection.
Obviously, it is NOT appropriate for my Rosary Art Collection!

Morning Offering, Morning Coffee, Morning Prayer, Morning Mass, Morning Snack

I'm an early riser. The radio, tuned to WCBS-FM comes on at 5:55 in the morning. So I usually wake up to music. Of course, sometimes I wake up to a "Meow!"
if Winky awakens before I do!
I bless myself with holy water, and make my Morning Offering. Then, after awhile, I make my first cup of coffee.

(I put everything out the night before. This saves time in the morning)
I usually drink that first cup rather quickly; it is my wake-up-all-the-way-and-get-going cup.
A bit later, awake and alert, I pray Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours.
After Mass on EWTN, I make a second cup of coffee. This is my Bible-in-hand cup, my
sip-it-slowly-and-savor-the-flavor cup. With this second cup, and my Bible, I have a light snack (My full breakfast comes later)
It may be a slice of bread (usually rye) and margarine. Perhaps it is a slice of challah, or half of a challah roll. Sometimes, it is a piece of raisin bread. Or it could be half of a bagel with a schmear. Yummmy!
No matter what the snack is, this is just a nice, relaxing moment.
