Too funny! (I had to conduct this at my 'work church' on Christmas Eve instead of being at home in our parish.) The real silent monks acclaim Him 'seven times daily' and I am very grateful for their constant praises and intercessions on behalf of the Church, her priests, and her people, among whom I number the least.
So lovely to be at home at Sacred Heart on Christmas Day--I missed your guardianship! (Did you guard Our Lord on Christmas Eve?) Happy Feast of St. Stephen!
Qoute of St. Augustine's in reference to Holy Mother Church
“This same is the holy Church, the one Church, the true Church, the catholic Church, fighting against all heresies: fight, it can: be fought down, it cannot. As for heresies, they went all out of it, like as unprofitable branches pruned from the vine: but itself abides in its root, in its Vine, in its charity. "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (On the Creed: Sermon to Catechumens (14) c. 395)
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Have mercy on us!
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Without priests there would be none
I’m here as a Catholic Christian and an American citizen -- in that order. Both of these identities are important. They don’t need to conflict. They are not, however, the same thing. ... No nation, not even the one I love, has a right to my allegiance, or my silence, in matters that belong to God or that undermine the dignity of the human persons He created.

I am lower on the totem pole! And I assure you I am always on guard whether in regalia or not!
