Invective Against Trees

You prodigal trees!

Raucous in spring,

Drinking so deep,

Amassing such green,

Spending it all,

On one winter’s sleep!

Pray Without Ceasing

San Damiano Crucifix

Almighty, eternal, just and merciful God, grant us in our misery that we may do for your sake alone what we know you want us to do, and always want what pleases you; so that, cleansed and enlightened interiorly and fired with the ardor of the Holy Spirit, we may be able to follow in the footsteps of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and so make our way to you, Most High, by your grace alone, you who live and reign in perfect Trinity and simple Unity, and are glorified, God, all-powerful, for ever and ever. Amen. --St. Francis of Assisi

Personal Patron

St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us
My middle name, actually. I ran away from it as a lad because of Francis the Talking Mule. These days, the mule is forgotten. I don't mind being another Brother Ass.

Pray for our Holy Father

Almighty and everlasting God, have mercy upon Thy servant, Benedict, our Supreme Pontiff, and direct him, according to Thy loving-kindness, in the way of eternal salvation; that, of thy gift, he may ever desire that which is pleasing unto thee and may accomplish it with all his might. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen (Roman Ritual)

Korean Martyrs, Pray for Us

The Church in Korea is special because it was established by laymen. Since its inception, there have been 10,000 martyrs.
