What wonders!

So the new vehicle's battery completely discharged last Friday while at work.

For the second time at the clinic within about a month it would not start, and just like the last time it was Friday and you were  tired and hungry.

This happened first, in the morning on that very penitential Friday last week, during Lent 2025: 

The Compassionate Intercession of Saint Joseph at Saint Joseph's

Then at the lunch break at one o'clock the vehicle would not start.  

Phone calls made to a repair center and to the service department at the dealership during lunch off-site with a colleague led around and around and around in a circle.

Certainly this cannot be that complicated.

What wonders! “Devotion to St. Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul, for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of our Lord’s graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, he unites it to St. Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint.” ~ St. Peter Julian Eymard

Early yesterday/Friday morning, while at Saint Joseph's for the 7:15 a.m.

It was a tough, tough morning of blistering spiritual combat after having been suddenly blindsided by it shortly after arriving at work following the magnificent offering of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin at Saint Joseph's on Day 4 of the 2025 Nine Day Novena to Saint Joseph prior to the Feast of Saint Joseph on Wednesday next week.

The parts required for successful repairs could take another two weeks to acquire, if they can be acquired at all.

His Feast Day is on March 19th. What wonders! Please join us.

So grateful. Sweet little frog, so many people missed you so much.

“To petition Our Blessed Lady in our most urgent need, repeat, after the fashion of the Rosary, 'Virgin Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me.'” ~ Saint Philip Neri 

THE IMMACULATE MOTHER OF GOD IN THE DREAM OVERNIGHT

You suddenly found yourself in the dream overnight before a jewelry counter at a place that

appeared unfamiliar.

The internal components will be preserved, cleaned, and the hard drive capacity expanded, then placed inside a new exterior. What wonders!

So relieved the computer with all of its software and programs that are all paid for can be saved. 

So glad for this short break before work begins in earnest on the nine chapters of the Tridentine Documentary's Part 3, followed by the nine chapters of Part 4, for every soul.

Preparing to executive produce the Tridentine Documentary's Parts 3 and 4, two documentaries-in-one, and to deliver the entire script containing all 36 sacrificially loving chapters to Saint Joseph on his Feast Day in one year, on March 19, 2026, two years after the entire project for every soul was suddenly and unexpectedly delivered on March 19, 2024, the Feast of Saint Joseph.

It looks like the Tridentine Documentary's Parts 3 and 4 will follow a trajectory similar to the first 2, one year later, and that Part 3 will be released for Christmas 2025 and Part 4 for Candlemas 2026. What wonders!    

Coming one after another through 2025 and into 2026, in print and as videos, the next 18 chapters of the documentary "This is Catholic Courage: The Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Celebrated in Latin," for every soul.

Prayer To End Abortion
Prayer To End Abortion
Prayer To End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, and for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, and never to stop defending life until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once again becomes a nation with liberty and justice not just for some, but for all, through Christ our Lord. Amen! Source: Priests for Life

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed
Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed
O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families. You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary. You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen

Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.''
Prayer For Priests
Prayer For Priests
Dear Lord,
we pray that the Blessed Mother
wrap her mantle around Your priests
and through her intercession
strengthen them for their ministry.
We pray that Mary will guide Your priests
to follow her own words,
“Do whatever He tells you” (Jn 2:5).
May Your priests have the heart of St. Joseph,
Mary’s most chaste spouse.
May the Blessed Mother’s own pierced heart
inspire them to embrace
all who suffer at the foot of the cross.
May Your priests be holy,
filled with the fire of Your love
seeking nothing but Your greater glory
and the salvation of souls.
Amen.

Saint John Vianney, pray for us.

Novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague
Jesus, You said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you." Through the intercession of Mary, Your holy Mother, I knock, I seek. I ask that my prayer be granted (mention your request). Jesus, You said, "All that you ask of the Father in My name, He will grant to you." Through the intercession of Mary, Your holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your name that my prayer be granted (mention your request). Jesus, You said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass." Through the intercession of Mary, Your holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted (mention your request). To be said for nine consecutive hours or for nine days.

Miraculous Medal Novena Prayer
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our Mother, we are filled with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing intercession, shown so often through the Miraculous Medal. As your loving and trustful children, we ask you to obtain for us the graces and favors we request during this novena, if these will be to our spiritual benefit. (Here, privately mention your petitions.) You know, O Mary, that we want our souls always to be the temples of the Holy Spirit, who hates sin. Obtain for us, then, a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart which will attach us to God alone, so that our every thought, word and deed may be directed to His greater glory. Obtain for us a spirit of prayer and self-denial, that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin and eventually enter that heavenly dwelling where you are the Queen of angels and of humanity. Amen.
Prayer of St. John Vianney
Prayer of St. John Vianney
I love You, O my God,
And my only desire is to love You
Until the last breath of my life.
I love You, O my infinitely lovable God,
And I would rather die loving You,
Than live without loving You.
I love You, Lord
And the only grace I ask is to love You eternally…
My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love You,
I want my heart to repeat it to You as often as I draw breath.

Prayer to St. Anthony
Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints. O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.

Love Those Church Signs!
Faith that has been tested is faith that can be trusted.
Heaven: don't miss it for the world!
There is no retirement age in serving Jesus.
He who dies with the most toys still dies.
Sin always has an "I" in the middle.
His love endures forever.
Is Christ in your Christmas?
In every failure God plants a seed of success.
Get even: forgive and forget.

A clear conscience makes a soft pillow.
Patience is the expression of love.
Hope in the heart puts a smile on the face.
Grace flows down.
