Noon Mass: The Ultimate Power Lunch
On the first Sunday of Advent, one of my parish priests encouraged everyone to go to daily Mass and he said he hopes it will become a habit for us. Attending noon Mass should be fairly easy for Catholics who work in major U.S. cities. For example, there was a church with noon Mass everywhere […]

Just as the Star appeared over the stable in Bethlehem when the Christ Child was born, so the Star of David has appeared through the window of my Chapel on St. David’s Church Road, Fort Valley, Virginia, to remind us of His care, love, protection, and presence in our lives today and always.

Joy to the world!
Many people become depressed during the holidays. I hope you’re not one of them, but if you are, maybe this will help you or maybe it will help someone you know. LORD knows that in the past I’ve had my own bouts of depression at Christmastime. Years ago, I was invited to hear Randall Wallace […]
For Hanukkah and Christmas: Gifts NOT made in China
As you shop for Hanukkah or Christmas gifts, please boycott products made in China and other countries who enslave men, women and children to make their products. I’ve been boycotting products from China and other communist countries for most of my life.
Christmas for cat lovers
Obviously, Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ Almighty, the Alpha and the Omega, our Creator and Redeemer.

Kitty Cats’ Christmas by Leon Redbone
Can’t help it. As a lifelong lover of cats, current owner of 2 boys and feeder of 2 more feral girls, this is one of my favorite Christmas songs because it’s so true! No need to buy gifts for your kitties – they delight in crunchy paper bags, batting toilet paper rolls and sleeping in […]
Mixed emotions on the movie ‘Les Misérables’
Published and argued at CatholicLane Thanks to a friend and diehard “Les Miserables” fan, I saw the movie musical but have mixed emotions about it.

Shocker: Salvation Army supports abortion

Come let us adore Him!
He’s not just away in a manger, He’s at your local Catholic church, maybe your local hospital or in a chapel at the airport you’re traveling through. Nothing gives me more peace than going directly to the LORD and adoring Him in person – not so much to talk, but to listen. You can […]
