The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

Consoling Thoughts From Father Faber
Jesus is ever with us; and He is ever with us as a child, partly that the burden may be lighter, partly that love may come more easily, partly because His littleness better suits our own. There is but one symbol of the Christian soul. We must never paint it otherwise before our mind’s eye. In the dark and in the bright, by dear Jordan or by dark Nile, it is truly and for ever a Madonna and Child.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
