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.

Word of the Day: Five Wounds
And the reason I always use +++++ as a divider. Five red crosses for the Five Wounds of Christ.
+++++
FIVE WOUNDS. Devotion to the Passion of Christ by concentrating on the wounds he suffered in his hands and feet and pierced side. A favourite devotion with many great saints, a Feast of the Five Wounds is celebrated in some countries on the fourth Friday of Lent. It also finds expression in the Anima Christi, with the invocation to Christ “Within Thy wounds hide me.”
