"I stand between two eternities. I must fall either into one or the other." ~ Saint Ambrose
"Recall yourself sometimes to the interior solitude of your heart, and there, removed from all creatures, treat of the affairs of your salvation and your perfection with God, as a friend would speak heart to heart with another." ~ Saint Francis of Sales
Still waiting for Joseph Karl Publishing's main operating system's repairs to be completed.
Until then, all video production remains suspended.
Vehicle fixed.
Tax circus 2024 ended.

Finger still paining, along with both wrists all of a sudden.
Keeping company with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane since the first day of Lent 2025 has been the source of the unfathomably sorrowful, sacrificially loving, and invaluably beautiful material for Part 4 of the Tridentine Documentary for every soul.
Also in mourning since last week along with four of our exceptional young people for the sudden passing of someone who was loved very much; the memorial service will be tomorrow, on Good Friday 2025, at 2 o'clock.

"You will note that the Lord establishes as
the prime good contemplation, that is the gaze turned in the direction of the
things of God. Hence we say that the other virtues, however useful and good we
may say they are, must nevertheless be put on a secondary level, since they are
all practiced for the sake of this one. 'You are full of worry and are
upset over many things when actually it should be over a few or even one.'
In saying this the Lord locates the primary good not in activity, however
praiseworthy, however abundantly fruitful, but in the truly simple and unified
contemplation of Himself." ~ Saint John Cassian
The Tridentine Documentary's Chapter 31, "Sacrificial Contemplation," could not have come at a more perfect time during Holy Week 2025, as the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered and celebrated in Latin - when quiet, solitude, peace, and reflection are so greatly needed.
Apostolic mission.
"Souls who aspire to a sublime union with God by contemplation usually suffer interior purgations in one way or another." ~ Saint Paul of the Cross
In or Triune God we totally trust; show us Your strength, O Lord!
