Today we remember David C, who would have turned 70. May he rest in peace.
St Staurnius shows us how idolatry can be eliminated by God’s gifts of inspired preaching and miracles. Watchful God, move me to successfully and vigorously oppose idolatry in its many forms.

Today is the last day of the liturgical year. Tomorrow Advent begins. Begins the season my praying St Andrew’s Christmas Novena
(said 15x’s a day, every hr and a quarter based on 12 hr day.)
Hail & blessed be the hour and
moment in which the Son of God
was born of the most pure
Virgin Mary, at midnight,
in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.
In that hour, vouchsafe,
O my God! to hear my prayer
and grant my desires,
(mention your intentions here)
through the merits of
Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of
His Blessed Mother
Amen

The trips to Iowa during the past week were successful in accomplishing their intended purpose. An unexpected issue with the SUV will now be repaired on Thursday next week. It could have waited, and it wouldn’t have caused problems, except in my mind. Now I don’t have to think about it.
Know you are prayed for.
