I am a cradle Catholic falling in love with Catholicism for the first time. I am a 4th Degree Sir Knight in the Knights of Columbus. As I get older I am more convinced that following truth and defending it is the way to a fruitful and less complicated life. Jesus is Truth. This is the "quick hit" location for Immersiondiary.com; a stream of consciousness...

4 open source tools I used to write a Linux book

Steve Ovadia spent the past year writing "Learn Linux in a Month of Lunches."

I got this note a while back. It’s a great question and now I’m finally able to address it!

“It’s been about a year since your interview article about using Linux and Open Source for writing and publishing. Is there any chance you might consider a follow-on piece that talks about what has happened, what you have learned, and such during the past year? Also, much of the webliography that addresses Linux, Open Source and writing talks about "I have content. Let’s package it into the wild.” Talk about the front-end work flow: “I have facts. Let’s create content.” Notes, references, etc.“

As you can see, the answer to how I handle front-end workflow is paper. When I’m working on more scholarly work, I still print out articles and mark them up. In fact, I’ll often type an outline, print it, and then write on it as I work. There’s just something about the pen on a page that makes it easier for me to connect ideas. From the outline, I just type into a text editor. Any parts or pieces I feel I’m missing get flagged in the text as a note to myself. And any sections that need additional research get put into Remember the Milk for follow-up. I also use RTM to track ideas I want to integrate into an active piece. I use Google Keep to track ideas for pieces before I start writing, but once I’m writing, I don’t really use it. In fact, I usually just copy-and-paste my Google Keep notes into a text file and just work from the text file.

“The preaching of the faith has lost nothing of relevance in our times. The Church has a sacred duty to proclaim it without whittling down, just as Christ revealed it, and no consideration of time or circumstance can lessen the strictness of this obligation.” - Pope Pius XII

Understanding the Latin Mass

I hope this post helps you understand the Traditional Catholic Mass, which has done so much for my relationship with Jesus! As Cardinal Newman said, “I could attend masses forever and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words – it is a great action, the greatest action that can be on earth… He becomes present on the altar in flesh and blood, before Whom angels bow and devils tremble.”

The different parts of the Mass and their meanings, in two halves:

MASS OF THE CATECHUMENS

PRAYERS AT THE FOOT OF THE ALTAR: Priest adores God INTROIT: “Entrance” Prayer to hasten God’s advent KYRIE: Greek, A cry to the Trinity for mercy GLORIA: Angelic Hymn, an exultation of praise COLLECTS: Prayers of the day EPISTLE: Letters and teachings of Apostles GRADUAL: Psalm to unite prayers with instruction ALLELUIA: Hebrew, “Praise the Lord” GOSPEL: The words of Christ SERMON: Explanation of the Gospel CREED: “I believe” Profession of faith.

MASS OF THE FAITHFUL

OFFERTORY ANTIPHON: Preparation for oblation (sacrifice) OFFERTORY: Bread, wine, & hearts of people offered to God SECRET: Prayer that the offerings are worthy SANCTUS: “Holy, holy, holy” Canticle of the Angels PRAYERS OF REMEMBRANCE: Prayer for the living PRAYERS OF OFFERING: Petition for peace, deliverance, to get to heaven CONSECRATION: Action of Christ. Bread=body, wine=blood PRAYERS OF OFFERING: Recalls the old law sacrifices, remember Calvary PRAYERS OF REMEMBRANCE: Prayer for the dead in purgatory DOXOLOGY: All things sanctified & blessed through Cross of our Redeemer PATER NOSTER: “Our Father” Preparation for Communion BREAKING OF THE HOST: Imitates Savior who broke bread for the Apostles AGNUS DEI: Christ is the Lamb from the Old & New Testament prophets COMMUNION: The infinite God, in His infinite love, grants an infinite gift POSTCOMMUNION: Prayer of thanksgiving for the Body and Blood DISMISSAL: Priest dismisses the people, sends them out into the world BENEDICTION: Priest humbly thanks God for allowing participation in sacrifice LAST GOSPEL: Summary of the benefits we partake through Christ’s Sacrifice
