I make plenty with my students. They don't care. Once at a swim meet, the only time my parents attended, I felt funny on the first lap (just two laps), and on the return lap, my muscles froze, and, yeah, last place. Was it because Mom and Dad were watching? We make mistakes in the sacristy, and last Sunday an altar boy made one on the altar. In the vestibule, we started laughing.
The Bible is the most translated book in history, but closely following it on the list is Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s 1943 novella, “The Little Prince.” To date, the book has been translated into 475 languages, including rarer dialects like Quechua and Aramaic, and has sold over 100 million copies. Antoine is Anthony in English and comes from the Roman name Anthony, Mark Antony being the most famous Roman with the name. The th sound is preserved in Icelandic and among West Germanic languages, such as English, and in Catalan (most of Spain). Latin begot French begot English with a heavy dose of German. Bible's Babel.
Brothers Lucas Jussen (born Feb. 27, 1993) and Arthur Jussen (born Sept. 28, 1996) perform on stage as a Dutch duo. Very unusual. Here they play Schubert. I discovered another piano duo: Christina and Michelle Naughton, sisters. They replaced the brothers when they had to cancel a concert. Still unusual. (The Hornbostel-Sachs system classifies a piano as a percussive chordophone instrument, and like a lyre, pictured on the Steinway, or harp, it has very taut strings stretched between two points. When the strings vibrate, they produce sound. Moving a piano requires about 10,000 men. A Steinway refinisher told me he applies 15 layers of shellac - nice and shiny.) The Ocean
BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE The Ocean has its silent caves, Deep, quiet, and alone; Though there be fury on the waves, Beneath them there is none. The awful spirits of the deep Hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair. Calmly the wearied seamen rest Beneath their own blue sea. The ocean solitudes are blest, For there is purity. The earth has guilt, the earth has care, Unquiet are its graves; But peaceful sleep is ever there, Beneath the dark blue waves.

“At the time, again this is what I know based on what his teammates have told me and what really has been public knowledge. At the time of that National Championships, he was still dating women, and active with women,” Gaines revealed. “He's engaged to another man, who claims to be a woman. So two men, but they call themselves lesbians.” https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/olympics/news-lia-thomas-still-dating-women-riley-gaines-reveals-transgender-swimmer-active-women-ncaa-championships-won Riley, now 23, swam for the University of Kentucky (NCAA). Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd edition, Paragraph 2357 … Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. Bishop St. Patrick, be inclined to assist canceled priests the world over, increase the number of parish priests who say the Latin Mass, as you did, advance bishops who will defend them, and accomplish the reconversion of Ireland and Great Britain. Amen. The man born in England died on this day in 461, but not before converting almost all of Ireland. We know what we know about him from his autobiography, Confessio (I confess). The original color associated with Patrick was blue, later green.
Re-entry was attempted on March 14. Unmanned Starship disintegrated. No matter, SpaceX (HQ Hawthorne, CA) gained information for its next try. Trial and error is part of the scientific method. According to Wikipedia, Starlink is a satellite internet constellation from SpaceX, first launching in 2019, providing coverage to over 70 countries, aiming to give global mobile broadband after 2023. United has had some mishaps recently. My friend Josh, a man of steel nerves, flies the 777, and I will join him today at Mass. United Airlines Boeing 777

MARCH 16, 2024 “The Biden administration is allocating $1 billion to enhance the environmental sustainability of U.S. border ports as illegal immigration increases. “The move aims to refurbish numerous federal ports of entry across America's borders with Canada and Mexico, integrating eco-friendly innovations. “This initiative, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, intends to mitigate operational emissions and establish cleaner energy usage at these crucial gateways.” … https://washingtondigest.com/biden-administration-funnels-1-billion-to-make-federal-ports-of-entry-climate-friendly/?utm_source=WD&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=WD2&utm_content=WD2A I could not find the above information on any other news site. Meanwhile… WASHINGTON DC - FBI Director Christopher Wray, in a recent hearing with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, highlighted concerns regarding the escalation in potential threats against the U.S. Intelligence officials have observed a troubling trend: known or suspected terrorists exploiting the southern border by utilizing fake identification. https://lawenforcementtoday.com/fbi-warns-of-suspected-terrorists-infiltrating-u-s-with-fake-ids-via-southern-border One story is dated March 16, and the other is dated March 15.

Why am I posting this song? Budding humorist Alexander wants it in our eBook. Can't answer and doesn't know. SEIU is Service Employees International Union. Another senator revealed that there were pre-dispute, non-disclosure agreements. The Catholic Church did the same thing with all the sexually-abused targets, whether boys, girls, or women.
Berner says she is LGBTQ+. By the way, the alphabet keeps shapeshifting. Some say LGBTQIA2S+... My geometry is failing me: I can't keep track of shapes. A blogger is charged with knowing all sorts of things. Note: the Forbes videos give no commentary. Can't answer and doesn't know. From its own website: "The mission of the Department of Justice is to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights."
I will say what the congressmen won't say out of politeness: "You, Kristen Clarke, are another political appointee evading the questions of elected officials thereby allowing our republic to recede into history." “In 2015, Clarke opened an investigation into the Boy Scouts to look at the national group’s ban on openly gay adults and alleged hiring rejections based on sexual orientation in New York. The investigation was about ‘ensuring equal protection under the law for all New Yorkers, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals who live and work in New York.’ “In July 2015, her office secured an agreement with the Boy Scouts of America to end their policy of excluding openly gay adults from serving as leaders in the organization. The terms of the agreement applied nationally.” Wikipedia [I added color] “Membership for the BSA’s flagship Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA programs dropped from 1.97 million in 2019 to 1.12 million in 2020, a 43% plunge, according to figures provided to the Associated Press. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000. “The Girl Scouts say their youth membership fell by nearly 30%, from about 1.4 million in 2019-2020 to just over 1 million this year.” https://apnews.com/article/only-on-ap-health-coronavirus-pandemic-7afeb2667df0a391de3be67b38495972 I would not want any of my students, currently two boys 10 and 15, to be led by a so-called transgender person. People can lead their lives the way they want but not when it comes to having authority over children. That is a red line. I have read that some of these leftists say ballet and being on time are examples of white racism. Well then, I am a racist. I like ballet, and as a tutor and substitute teacher I was late once, 15 minutes because I took a wrong turn. Tchaikovsky was to blame.
A pro-Palestine activist completely destroyed Philip Alexius de László's 1914 unprotected portrait of Lord Balfour at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, March 8, 2024. Lord Balfour played a key role in the creation of Israel. Palestine Action admitted responsibility. The painting is irreplaceable; this is grand larceny. No one tackled her. The artist was of Jewish origin, and his painting of Pope Leo XIII earned him a Grand Gold Medal at the Paris International Exhibition in 1900, the same year he married Lucy Madeleine Guinness, a member of the banking branch of the Guinness family. They had six children and 17 grandchildren.

It is a two-hour drive from Richmond to DC.
Before I post something I check multiple sources, but in the end I use my own eyes and ears and a sense of truth to find the truth. One clue for me is the salaries of these news superstars. Another is the way news is given: if it is full of commentary, I tune it out.
Of course, my faith is a guide because I know it is the truth. Is that a bias? Nope. I didn't dream up the faith. It was received. Don’t dismiss the claim until you’ve read hundreds of verifiable posts in the Faith category. I first read a shortened version of this poem when I was 17. It came in a prayer book given me by Father John Enright, SJ, but all these years later the poem means more. Who is the hound that shelters me? Enright paid for the book with his own money, and he had very little. I know because one day he had to pick up his dry cleaning, and I went along in the community car, and he had to ask the bursar for $10. left Francis Thompson, poet

The House voted to ban TikTok unless it divests Chinese ownership. Let us hope the Senate votes the same way. I have been warning you about TikTok for months.
Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Gross Sin Forbidden
And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, Exodus 20:13-14 you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, Exodus 20:15 you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten. You shall not covet the things of your neighbour, Exodus 20:17 you shall not forswear yourself, Matthew 5:34 you shall not bear false witness, Exodus 20:16 you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued; for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbour. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life. https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0714.htm#:~:text=Remember%2C%20Lord%2C%20Your%20Church%2C,God%20(Son)%20of%20David! If we do not speak out against sins and even go so far as to protect those who sin, we become complicit. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states in paragraph 1869, “Sin makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them.” didaché means doctrine, from Greek διδαχή, ῆς, noun Can't answer and doesn't know. https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/02/xavier-becerra-california-record/
The appointed, unelected bureau---crat with no medical background leads health and human services. What he excelled at as California AG was bringing Trump to court 110 times and spending $41M of taxpayer money doing it. Catholic Becerra defends abortion. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that since the 1st century the Church has affirmed that every procured abortion is a moral evil; the Catechism states that this position “has not changed and remains unchangeable”. See Paragraphs 2258 through 2317 and the Didache (1st century). The manuscript is commonly referred to as the Didache. This is short for the header found on the document and the title used by the Church Fathers, "The Lord's Teaching of the Twelve Apostles”. |
