The Robin has been guarding her fortress night and day. She left once: I caught a glimpse of one egg. Still, there's only one egg.

Queen of the May!

In May, traditionally the statues of the Blessed Mother is crowned with a crown of flowers and beauty. We always did it on the first or second Sunday in May. Ave Regina Caelorum!

St Marguerite, Ora Pro Nobis!

The CofE is broke

All we need are these words...from this article.

In a meeting behind closed doors in York, the Church’s House of Bishops gave its approval to legislation to admit women to the episcopacy and rejected a series of attempts to significantly water down the powers of future female bishops.

Did you see the pretty picture?  *ahem*

Yes, there are provisions. I doubt the efficiency.

Have a jolly good, happy Victoria Day!

Believe it or not, we celebrate May 24th for Queen Victoria and her Birthday, not to drink lager and scotch and get drunk as a dog who has just broken his master's flask.

Sure, pour yourself a hardy glass of whisky/whiskey (or alternative) halfed with fizzy ginger ale, and toast to the Queen but don't overdo it.

Yes, Irishmen did drink to the Queen.

 

On funerals and the Robin

Mother robin is in her nest this morning, and I presume she'll be there all day long, so I can't snap a picture.

I noticed today that I have a few more followers! Thank you so much!

So Fr Hans Kung wants a funeral  for the Vatican II. I'd imagine it would look like this, only with black?

Further ado

It's nights like this, nights when I can't sleep...that I can really think. No noise, just silence. The gentle warmth coming from my heater, the wind blowing outside, the silent clink of my Rosary beads when I pray.

Well! Then why am I blogging if I'm in such a peaceful condition? Well I cannot sleep of course! That bird who has rented my door wreath, is mothering her egg (or eggs, I haven't checked today), and won't leave. That's not the problem either. I'm happy about the poor bird and her nest. Ecstatic, actually.

I just had the equivalent of two cuppa teas. Too much caffeine before bedtime, I suppose. I am going to pray for a good night's rest, ask my Guardian Angel to watch over me, the Blessed Virgin to guide me to Our Lord who I am asking to have mercy on me. Dear readers? You have my prayers! Any intentions that you have, I am praying for them! So, without further ado...God Bless, and Good Night! If you can't sleep either, just flip through my archives and you'll be sure to doze off.

:p

Feast of the Ascension

This is one of my favourite feast days. The Ascension of Our Lord and Saviour!

Pray: Pray Hard

Please, in everything you do, remember to pray for the regularisation of the Society of St Pius X!

Diamond Jubilee

This year we're celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of our Queen, Elizabeth. She is the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, and all the other realms. She is also head of the Commonwealth of Nations.
