Putting in a plug for my Sister’s country parish. I know of at least 2 Haymarsh musicians that will be providing entertainment.
Dear Warm, Pleasant Weather,
We miss you. Please come back.
Sincerely, Haymarsh Residents
My mother’s little brother passed away this past week. If you have room in your prayers, please pray for the repose of his soul and for his family.
I looked out the window to see big brother tying on little brother’s scarf better. Pretty sure these are the sweetest moments of motherhood, seeing my children help each other is a taste of heaven. Praying that they continue to do so and pray for each other and help each other on their Journey to Heaven.

Grandpa asked that we help him with a “memories gathering” for mother on the 2 year anniversary of her passing.
Our niece attended the Seek conference. A powerful talk given by Monsignor Shea, directed more to the college age, but applicable to all.
Monsignor Shea is worth listening to… We’re blessed to have him in this diocese.
My beloved celebrates his birthday today. He was really excited about this birthday greeting. https://ieeecs-media.computer.org/media/marketing/access-articles/non-recursive-computation-of-the-probability-of-more-than-two-people-having-the-same-birthday.pdf
G EE Ks is all I can say. But in all honesty, I’m so happy there’s folks out there that get that excited about mathematics.
Quote of the Day”And above all, be on your guard not to want to get anything done by force, because God has given free will to everyone and wants to force no one, but only proposes, invites and counsels.”–St. Angela Merici
| Today’s Meditation “Among the various indications that make the holiness of God known to men, the most convincing sign is the holiness of men, who are sanctified by the divine indwelling . . . In teaching us the words, ‘hallowed be Thy name,’ our Lord also bids us, when we pray, to ask that God may be glorified by our lives. The sense of the prayer is this: ‘Grant us so to live, that all men may glorify Thee through us.’ God is sanctified or hallowed in the minds of other men through us, to the extent that we are sanctified by Him. Hence when we say: ‘hallowed be Thy name,’ we pray, as Cyprian remarks, that God’s name may be hallowed in us. Following the lead of Christ, who says: ‘Be holy, because I am holy,’ we beg that we, who have been sanctified in Baptism, may persevere in the state in which we began. Furthermore we pray daily to be sanctified in order that we, who daily fall, may wash away our sins by a constant process of purification.” —St. Thomas Aquinas, p. 350-351, Aquinas Short Summa |
“In January, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” As farmers and ranchers, that answer is easy – we’re feeding people! U.S. family farms and ranches produce 86% of our ag products. Farm programs cost each American just pennies per meal and account for less than one half of 1% of the total U.S. budget – yet are critical to making sure we keep producers on the land growing a safe, affordable and secure food supply. One U.S. farm feeds 166 people annually in the U.S. and abroad – imagine – less than 2% of our population does this amazing work! I know as a producer, I take for granted how important our work is. I certainly don’t hear it being discussed around the kitchen table or in the shop as everyone is preparing for the day’s work. I smile as I think of Greg telling our son, “Be sure to check the heifer pen – we don’t want to lose someone’s beef supply for next year!”…” – Marcy Svenningsen
