in search of the authentic life

Update: Recommended Resources on this Site

The “Resources” button in the topics to the right is like doing a search for the word “resources.” It will also give you the full “Resources” category (indicated below the title of a post). This will appear like a list, in somewhat random order.

However, if the “Resources” category is below the title of a post, clicking on that will give you posts in date order, starting with the most recent, but you will be given the full post and will have to do a lot of scrolling.

I am working on a new button which will provide quick and easy access to recommended resources, such as news, prepper sites and Catholic sites. Please be patient while this is worked out and come back soon! Chiara:)

Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels

I hit myself in the head today with my car keys (please don’t ask). I said to my Guardian Angel, “Why did you let that happen? What, you’re off today because IT’S YOUR FEAST? Well, isn’t that special. All you guys are up there having some big party, leaving us poor slobs down here to fend for ourselves. Thanks a lot!”

Then I went out driving. On Long Island. I said, “Shove that strawberry cupcake in your mouth and GET BACK DOWN HERE NOW!”

I got back home in one piece, so I guess the party’s over:)

sancti Angeli custodes, orate pro nobis!

*** HIGH LEVEL PREPAREDNESS ALERT ***

, ,

Due to the escalation of the wars with Iran and Russia and the resulting affects on energy supply, product supply and the economy….

WE ARE ISSUING A HIGH LEVEL ALERT!

This alert will remain in effect until such time as the situation abates and the concerns are alleviated. I will be posting supporting evidence later today and in the coming week, but do not wait to up your preps in whatever ways you can. One of the most important things right now is to stock up on supplies while they are still available and affordable. See our “15 Points” on the Home page and make your plan now!

Pray to the Holy Ghost for guidance always.

(If you have followed me for the past 17 years, you know I have never issued an alert like this and I do so with much prayer, and not lightly.)

Thought for the Day

If the thing is inauthentic, don’t worry about it.

Don’t worry if you lose it.

Don’t worry if it breaks.

Don’t worry if you can’t complete that project.

Don’t worry if it all burns. Because it had to anyway, someday.

So we could get back to God and nature.

Let it come and let it be. Something better will replace it all.

Another Northeast Fireball Today

Meteor explodes off coast of Massachusetts

We’re trying to keep track of these events, have a look at this post from April 18th:

Is God Telling Us Something? Fireballs From the Sky....

We are told in Holy Scripture to be watchful and read the signs of the times:

“And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?”
Matthew 16:3

“Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.”

1 Peter 5:8
