This has been a quiet Saturday. A good one.
Last night was the first spent on my new mattress. Slept better than I usually do, but my hips were still very painful and wonky today. Almost impossible to walk around the house without the big stick for support.

Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre :
“The Christian religion is a religion of the Holy Spirit; it is the religion of love, of charity. It is a religion that has transformed the world. Before, everything was hatred, egotism, pride, and obsession with the goods of this world. After our Lord, everything is the law of charity ruling within our hearts; it is sanctifying grace transforming hearts and souls. And we saw the development of marvelous things in that Christendom: convents covering all of Christian Europe. Now we have to ask God to maintain us in that spirit of Christendom, maintain us in that spirit of love of our Lord.”

This has been a good Friday, many chores handled. But my home Internet has been flickering out for a few hours. Called the ISP and was told they hope to have it fixed by early tomorrow. So I'll sign off now and hope to find all working normally tomorrow.

Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre :
“The Holy Spirit is the Apostle par excellence and by His very essence. This great truth ought to give a certain character to our own apostolate: a character of humility and confidence; a character of holding ourselves and all our faculties in a state of readiness to serve; a character of peace and serenity amid all the vicissitudes of failures, successes, trials or consolations. “In all things give thanks to God” (1 Thess. 5:18). That constancy in thanksgiving will show that the Spirit of God is in us.”

The end of this Wednesday has sneaked up on me. It's been a pretty good day. and its ending finds me relaxed and anticipating a good night's sleep.

Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre :
“All of the Christian virtues come from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I do not know if you experience that, I would say almost physically, when you are at a High Mass, a beautiful ceremony. When the sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated with all its splendor, with all its expression, with all its signification, there is no way we can leave worse than when we came. Unless we have a heart of stone or unless we understand nothing of the ceremony, or we do not unite ourselves to it at all, it is impossible not to come away better, not to come away more pure, because we have just come close to Heaven.”

A strangely stressful Tuesday is winding down. Took care of two “outside the house” chores this evening: returning a damaged item to Amazon via the UPS Store; and delivering turkey and pies to the kitchen at Church as part of an annual Thanksgiving project. That's way more f2f social interaction than I usually have these days.
Tonight will be the coldest night of the Fall so far. I'm confident the new little ceramic heater will keep the house warm.
Told Sylvia this evening that I'll be contacting the eye doctor soon to schedule my cataract surgery. really need to take care of that.

Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre :
“The Blessed Virgin Mary, who participated the most perfectly, the most profoundly, in the sacrifice of the cross and therefore in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, is the person after our Lord Himself who has really the best understood the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. She can give you the explanation of the mystery of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is when she was on Calvary, beside the cross, that she participated the most in this great mystery of the sacrifice of the cross.“

Winding down a pretty good Monday. I took care of the chores I'd set for myself and handled two other quirky ones that surprised me. If the rest of the week goes like this I'll be satisfied.
Hoping now for a good night's sleep. And hoping the big winds tonight don't bring down any big branches from my trees.
