Wonderful parade for the 250th Anniversary of the Military. I have yet to understand those who are protesting with this “No Kings” thing. Never has Trump acted like a king; he has had to fight and claw for everything he has done. A King would have just done an off with their head type of move. The problem as I see it… The other side is seeing all the ridiculous things they’ve maneuvered to avoid being found out and pulled out. Does it seem to be moving too quickly? Yes, it does, but knowing one is going to be dodging roadblocks has one moving swiftly so that they can be past the stage before a roadblock becomes an issue. I’m proud to be an American. I’m proud to see a President who stands up and acts in public view instead of under the cover of darkness or a cloak of diversion. I’m proud of my military children, husband, and father. Nuff said.

Today
Read Nahum 3, you have now completed another Old Testament Book.
RIAY Day 167: Glory Awaits the Faithful
Pope Leo XIV to the American People
Meditations for Each Day pg 236, The Holy Spirit wants us to cooperate with him so that we can be transformed and made holy. He wants us to persevere in prayer and daily participation in the Sacrament of the Altar. He wants us to receive spiritual clarity, keep far from us things which would displease God, avoid the spirit of the world contamination, seek divine inspiration, and listen for God’s voice within us.

Have an awesome day today.

Know you are prayed for.

Today marks the 250th Birthday of the US Army. The parade will begin tonight at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. I’m hoping to watch part of this parade on TV. I personally believe this is a great opportunity to learn about and experience some history. There is a cost for everything; some believe this is a shameless waste of money. I do not. I think it’s a great opportunity to walk back and see how it was in the past. I believe this is a great tribute to our military. As for the cost? Rather spend my tax $$ on this than cleaning up after Antifa, Gay Pride, BLM, etc. But of course, they will be there as well, voicing their displeasure as usual. Of course, the News, and left wingers are using decisive wording in their descriptions to put a negative spin on this celebration… as usual.

Have a great day!

Read Nahum 1 be sure to read the introduction
RIAY Day 164 Guided by his Hand
The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood pg 87 “Do not be disquieted by what is going on around you. The tumult is caused by the evil one to try and suppress the work which is about to begin. You must rise above it in order to fulfill my plan.”
Meditations For Each Day Pg 231 ” We may not have been called to go and spread the faith amongst the infidels at the risk of martyrdom. But we have all been called to a state of holiness. Perfection, moreover, is a gradual martyrdom.”
Saint of the Day: St. Anthony of Padua, who reminds us that none of us are lost to God.

Morning!
I have a bit of free time this morning and plan to lollygag on the front porch a bit. Well, at least until the dryer dings. The man is off to IA for the funeral of an extended family member. I will be in IA late afternoon to drop of some stuff and pick up a person who needs to come back to WI today. Say a prayer for the boy who was ill yesterday and continues to sleep.

Today
Read Micah 6
RIAY Day 162 Carrying the Cross Together
The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood pg 85 “Making Reparation For So Much Sin.” Making atonement for sin is not always easy. Reparation must be made to both the Sacred & Immaculate Hearts, if God’s justice is to be appeased.
Meditation For Each Day pg 228 “Learn From Me, For I Am Meek & Humble of Heart” Jesus Christ provided us with an example of every virtue. As the foundation of all the virtues, He insisted on the great precept of loving God above all things and our neighbour as ourselves.

Saint of the Day, St. Barnabas an apostle whose very name means exhortation and consolation. He teaches us to both encourage & comfort others.

RIAY Day 161 Sharing Eternal Victory
Saint of the Day St Landry
The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood, pg 84… “The Era of My Mercy Has Come” … I say again, rejoice that you are privileged to live in this era. Many are unaware of the importance of the times in which they are living.
Meditations for Each Day, pg 227…“The Sacred Heart of Jesus Surmounted by a Flaming Cross”… The same Jesus Who died on the Cross for us and revealed His Heart, pierced and flaming with love, will one day appear with the same glorious sign of the Cross as our Supreme Judge. Then He will say to the wicked: “Depart from me, accursed ones, into everlasting fire!“

Anniversary Greetings to Pat & Terese S… Happy 47th!

*Read Micah 4, memorize the verse/s that speak to you
*RIAY Day 160: Choose your Side
*Apostolate of Holy Motherhood: pg 83 Christ Child to Mariamante “Be not afraid to be called forth, trust in Me and My Mother…there are so few who respond in this fashion, even when called by extraordinary graces. They turn away from the call I give them and settle for less than the way of perfection.”
*Meditations for Each Day by Antonio Cardinal Bacci: pg 225 “He sees the immense tide of sin which surges forth from the human race which He redeemed by His Precious Blood, a redemption now made futile by many. He is aware of the insane blasphemies hurled by so many against His lofty throne. He sees how His gifts, His sacraments, and His graces are abused by many. He sees, finally, the number of privileged souls, often consecrated to His service, who are indifferent and ungrateful while they should be trying to make reparation for the evils of mankind by their love, prayers, and penances.”
