Sunday Meditation: Meet Your Guardian Angel in Silence

One of my favorite spiritual masters is St. Alphonsus Liguori. What a body of wisdom he left us. Today I want to share his thoughts about our "Noisy World" from Love God and Do What You Please.

To such as these [those attached to worldly things] the Lord does not even speak; He sees it would be a waste of time. That is what He said one day to St. Teresa: "There are many to whom I long to speak, but the world makes such a noise in their ears that they cannot hear Me. If they would only detach themselves a little from the world!"

Even after over a decade of attending silent Ignatian retreats, I still have a long list of things to which I know I'm overly attached. Detachment is a lifetime struggle, but if we don't detach ourselves from creatures we can never fully belong to the God Who loves us so much and longs for our whole-hearted love in return. One of the greatest helps in the struggle is your guardian angel.

Update on TLM Ban in Charlotte, The Steel Boot Descends!

October has arrived and the TLM has been deep-sixed except for one small chapel that cannot accommodate the 1000+ weekly attendees. For many, the Sunday Mass requires two-hour travel time to participate at the Mass of the Ages.

Are You Paying Attention, Virginia? Vote for Jason Miyares for AG!

Imagine the outrage if a conservative said that about his beautiful children!

Dems' Bill Gives almost TWO BILLION DOLLARS to ILLEGAL ALIENS

The Democrats couldn't care less about the American people. They care about their own power and their extremist base who support baby killing, mutilation of children, murder of the elderly and incapacitated, the rights of criminals over their victims, etc. 

Can the American people support 1.5 million in new funding? How are you doing paying your bills right now? It sure is easy to spend other people's money, especially when you have millions in your own bank account.

The Democrats are liars and manipulators. Call or write your senators to stop the shutdown!

Pope Leo Channels Pope Francis and the Communists on Laudato Si

When I watched the pope bless the block of ice (3:18) I couldn't help feeling like it was a skit from Saturday Night Live. He should be as good to the ICE agents and bless them instead of casting aspersions on the U.S. for their "inhuman treatment of immigrants." What "treatment" is he talking about? - giving illegals $1000 and a free plane ride home if they turn themselves in. The Vatican has walls and laws protecting the Vatican state. Do they "welcome the stranger" coming in with criminal intent?

The Dirty (almost) Four Dozen Democrats Own the Immoral Government Shutdown!

....Are Your Senators among the Dirty (Almost) Four Dozen? Mine are.   

Virginia, please send emails and make phone calls to Mark Warner (Phone: 202-224-2023) and Tim Kaine (202-224-4024). Tell them to stop holding Americans hostage in order to give free healthcare to our country's invaders. Taxpayers have had enough! We aren't your cash cows and neither are our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who you will leave heavily in debt.

The Proverbial Excrement Hits the Fan and the Seamless Papal Garment!

Oh my! Leo has done it for sure this time. Even the traditional voices that have been 
defending him ad nauseum and ridiculing anyone who saw the writing on the wall are now coming out of their shells. Why? Because Leo dragged the seamless garment out of the closet to defend his wolfish friend Blase Cupich for giving Senator Dick Durbin a lifetime achievement award for his work on immigration.

Durbin, as any pro-life Catholic (I know that should be a redundancy, but sadly it's not.) can tell you, is an abortion advocate who is "personally opposed" but thinks others should be able to murder their unborn infants at will. Of course that's the Democrats' mantra. They aren't really pro-abortion; they are "pro-choice." Well, sometimes...They aren't pro-choice for those Americans living on the border facing first hand the violence of illegal invaders. The drug cartels kill a rancher? Hey, they weren't welcoming the stranger so they deserved it.

"They [Democrats] have taken the American people hostage."

I got this MSNBC video of the GOP press conference today onYouTube. The Democrats own the shutdown. May it come back to bite them! Note the comments, obviously primarily from liberal Democrats. Many mention Trump and the Epstein files. Now we don't really know what's in those files about Trump, but we know a lot about the connection of Bill Clinton and Epstein. 

The Government Shut Down at Midnight -- Paid Vacation for Federal Employees Until Dems Capitulate

We've been here before. The government shuts down amid threats of Armageddon, the national parks close, paychecks are delayed, and then the agreement is reached and everyone gets back to work with back pay. For those federal employees living pay check to pay check the Democrats are inflicting a serious problem with their hissy-fit over funding health care for millions of illegals. Hey, taxpayers, you owe it to the invaders. And besides we need their votes and if we don't deliver the goodies, they'll stop coming. And besides, our base will call for our ouster if we don't obey them and they hate ICE and love illegals even the ones who bring in fentanyl and commit violent crimes against our citizens.
