Plain Catholics in the Mountains and Valleys: Continuity and 9/11

Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12

Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.
St. John Paul II

I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI

But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Continuity and 9/11

Today, while praying for our military and for the victims of the 9/11 attacks, I was at the same time peeling and coring apples for the apple saucing and the apple buttering. Tis exactly what I was doing on that grievous day 9 years ago and every year before that day and since.

There is a time outside of time. We still grieve and yet life continues. We remember while repeating the same routines of each season.

May God bless our nation with renewed hope in the Lord and with renewed vigor in freedom. May He protect our brave military men and women facing harm.
That's me away
