Holy Saturday
In some ways, it can be difficult to understand, to experience, what this day means for Catholic Christians. It is a somber day; a quiet day. It some sense, an empty day. We reflect on the events of Holy Thursday, the anguish of Good Friday. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, was laid in a tomb. Even though I know “the rest of the story:” I am always somewhat somber on this day. There have been…

Memorial Day
Today, citizens of these United States are called to remember and honor those members of the U. S. Military who died while in service to the country. It recognizes their dedication to the nation. Among us, there may be disagreements on how our armed forces may have been used in the past or currently. But there can be no disagreement about their dedication and their sacrifice. Eternal rest grant…

WE HAVE AN AMERICAN POPE!!!!
Good lord, this I never expected in my wildest dreams!!! This will keep the “talking heads” going into overdrive!!! There are going to be folks, who will be very upset over this. At this moment the crowds are responding very joyfully!! His Italian seems to be very good!
HABEMUS PAPAM!!!
Just finishing my lunch, half watching a tv report on some business matter. They had a split screen because the time was coming up for the vote for a new pope. There were a few seagulls examining the stovepipe coming out of the Sistine Chapel’s roof. I noticed that there were wisps of smoke, white smoke, coming out!! It grew into huge plume!! Still waiting for his appearance on the main balcony…
Hello once again! Yes, I know I promised to be more regular with my postings. There have been some personal issues that required attention, but it is not quite time yet to discuss. But other than that… I was able to rise early enough to watch the funeral Mass for Pope Francis. It was amazing to see the crowds of people, both clergy, religious and lay who came to pray for the repose of his soul. The new camera technology has added what we are able to see and experience. One sight that thrilled my heart was seeing so many vested deacons with the rest of the clergy. As I am typing this, I suddenly realized that some of them, maybe all of them, were transitional deacons, on their way to priestly ordination. Which is fine, but I really hope that some of them were my brothers in the permanent diaconate. I have lived through many papacies, each one unique in their own way. I was a youngster when Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council. I am 71 years old now, as I witness the passing of Pope Francis. I have witnessed, joyfully, changes in the liturgical life of the Church. I witnessed debates among clergy and laity on how best to implement Vatican II, how involved should the laity be. ( A lot!). I have seen some of these debates done respectfully; others, not so much. Because of the way my health is right now, and the changes in where we are living; I have not been as active as a deacon as I would like to be. We shall see what the future holds. Looking forward to seeing the white smoke! Pax et Bonum to all!!

The Passing of Pope Francis.
The Vatican I have a bad habit of waking up very early in the morning; 5:00 AM, early in the morning! I usually cannot fall back asleep, so I looked at my IPhone, and saw the bulletins, announcing the passing of Pope Francis, head of the Catholic Church. Now, I am a skeptic of such “news” that comes over the Web. So I turned on the TV, and sadly saw that it was true. It was a bit of a shock,…

“Jesus Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!!”
Easter Sunday; a time of joy, of families gathering; a time of bunnies, eggs, and chocolates. A time for snazzy suits, and pretty dresses! There is a risk of losing sight of the real reason why we celebrate this day! We must remember, that on this day, after experiencing suffering and death, Jesus rose from the dead and brought new life to all humanity! “The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!!”…

Starting Off On A Journey; …Again!
I am trying to write this “posting” on a kitchen table, located in a small house, in Orleans MA; which is located on Cape Cod. Long story, but eventually my wife and I will be in residence at a place in Hyannis; also located on the Cape. Long story short, we were offered an arrangement we could not refuse. I know I have not actually written anything recently for this blog. What is out there are…

Homily for 30th Sunday In Ordinary Time
“Jesus said to him in reply ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man replied to him, ‘Master, I want to see.’ “ In today’s Gospel of Mark, we see the encounter Jesus had with Bartimaeus, a blind man. Bartimaeus must have known something of who Jesus was, and the power of healing he seemed to possess. Bartimaeus decided to take a risk and began calling out loudly to Jesus, begging for…
