In Search of
The Authentic Life
“Pater Meus Servat Vineam”
[Edited since posting.]
Please stay tuned for Pentecost post and highlights of the month of June. Let us pray the whole Church, especially our leaders, will receive a great illumination this Pentecost by the Holy Ghost, to exercise proper discernment during this time! This thought came to me the other day as I was contemplating our current situation and what has caused it:
Marcus Aurelius
If you think its time to stay home watching “Casablanca” for the 82nd time and scrapbooking….think again! We need to be prepared from this point forward for anything and everything (but not with fear). Demand to receive confession and Holy Communion. Start lifting weights. Go hiking in the wonderful outdoors without a mask, so you are not breathing in your own carbon dioxide and depressing your immune system. Take vitamins C and D. Get plenty of seeds and plant a garden. Stockpile supplies and water (only those in good supply). Buy rural property and precious metals. Learn how to fish. Learn to meditate and increase your mental strength under stress. Throw yourself on God when you get depressed-He never disappoints! Do it now. Teach your children. Pray on it. WE GOT THIS!

I keep hearing subtle variations on this quote: "We are spiritual beings having a human experience." How about this variation:
Think about it.
Don't forget our final Fatima Family Holy Hour for World Peace, this Friday! I will be at the World Apostolate of Fatima in Asbury, NJ, but the show will go on right here on this blog! Don't miss it! And please add your voice to our comments-thank you, you will be blessed! CFM:) PSSpread the word and think about giving Our Lady a special gift for this momentous occasion!
Please pray for the repose of the soul of dear Patrick Tracy, my first cousin, who passed in his sleep, very unexpectedly, last Sunday. He was 64 years old and lived a lifetime of charity towards others. He had been the Director of Campus Ministry at St. Joseph's College in Patchogue, NY and taught religion and social studies there. He was involved in countless charitable organizations over the years. His funeral on Thursday at Holy Family in HIcksville, was the most well-attended funeral I have ever seen. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. Please pray for his family as well, at this time. Much thanks.
Life is so short-let's make the most of it, to win souls for God!
An Andy Warhol-inspired art piece of my new pup....I don't seem obssessed, do I?.....he is a Shih Poo, otherwise known as a Poosh, 4 months old, doesn't have a name yet....after having a Corgi for 15 years, a Shih Poo should be a breeze! (We hope.)
