Don't forget to pray!

Oct 16, 2022 13:33

Fr. I said the message this weekend was about the necessity of prayer.  Firstly he asked if we knew what time the church opened in the AM.  Some people said, 8.  I guessed 7...  He said between 6:30 to 7, depends on when he wakes up.  He then welcomed us to stop by and pray.  Don't tempt me!!!  Anyway, he mentioned the power of prayer is stronger than the ruling of a judge.  He also talked of when he hears children's confessions he often asks / reminds them about prayer.  He said he doesn't do it for adults because it's expected of us, like we should know better.  But then it reminded of me about the time we met.  What did he say?  Did he ask me if I pray?  Or did he ask me about my prayer life?  Like I said...  At first when I first started talking to him I was getting the vibe he thought I was scrupulous.  Maybe I am.  But his attitude completely changed when I mentioned I pray The Hours.  He then mentioned when he went to visit his parents, he was asked by his elderly neighbor to stop by so he did.  He was chatting with her, asking what he thought about the faith in America.  I want to know his answer!!!  But then he noticed she didn't have a TV nor radio to keep her company.  She said that she prayed.  Prayed the rosary.  She then said she prayed a rosary for each family in the village.  He was blown away / humbled by her faith and her prayer life.  Anyway, I often wished to be able to go to church to pray there.  But at the same time...  I have my prayer space.  I wouldn't know how to pray otherwise.  I'd prefer to go to AM Mass and not just go there to pray daily.  But at the same time when I was going to Mass, I felt like I wasn't really seeing my mother / spending time with her in the AM.  So...  I don't really know.  If anything...  I wondered if the church is open at night.  To stop by on my way home.  Lol...  I'm thinking of how I can rearrange my schedule to pop by church.  If not every morning, maybe once a week.  I'd have to leave maybe 15 mins earlier than I do.  Yeah, I'd probably have to wake up early or not pray at home.  Like I said, I'd prefer to stop by after work...

Caught up on The Mole.  I still have no clue who it is.  Everyone seems like they are trying too hard to purposely sabotage / appear Mole like...  Well Jacob does nothing, so...  I don't think Will is.  He seems too invested in winning.  But at the same time I guess that could cover his tracks.  I can't think of his making a mistake at this point either.  7500centfish thinks it is Avori.  I dunno...  As I said, she seems to be too moley and came in hot in that sense.  I thought that one girl...  I don't even remember her name.  But I felt like she wasn't very vocal, kinda hid in the background might be the mole.  But then she acted extra moley one ep and then was executed that ep as well.  Woops.  The last ep ended with 2 people left to have their names read.  I don't even remember who at this point.  But yeah, I have no clue who the mole is.

Dream  Nightmare!  I had fallen asleep to Youtube and I had a vid in my Q about...  Like the title made me think like he was trying to debunk / didn't believe in modern Ghost hunting methods and was attempting to debunk it.  Long story short he stayed at the Stanly Hotel, was scared out of his mind, but ended up not finding anything.  Anyway, dream...  I just remember sitting in a reclining chair next to a window, but I was setting it up as if it were my bed / "room" of sorts.  Like I put stuff on the windowsill.  I thought getting a surge protector / multiple sockets to plug all my stuff in.  I remember there being someone else that was doing the same, but I can't seem to remember much of this part of the dream.  So as I said, the youtube vid on ghost hunting is playing in my ear as I sleep and while lying in bed I feel as if something is hitting  me / my bed.  As always I can see what is happening, yet my eyes are closed and I purposely think if I keep my eyes closed it's not there, etc.  So yeah, the thing hitting me / my bed is some evil entity.  At some point Mom comes into my room...  It's set up as it was a long time ago, with my bed against the west wall, in front of the window.  Mom is on the right side of my bed and she is asking me to participate in contacting spirits and I'm like...  No I'm not gonna do that.  As I said, the TV is on in the actual and as they are trying to communicate with the spirits, I envision Mom is doing this.  And...  I purposely go against her wishes and am kinda like...  In a sense I know what she's doing isn't real.  Like...  You're not gonna communicate with spirits that way, kinda like spirits aren't real and I kinda mock her by praying the Rosary.  I begin with the Apostles' Creed.  I then do the starting beads and on the 3rd, Hail Mary I'm like, "watch this!" and start reciting the Hail Mary in Latin, except...  I forget the words and revert to English.  At this point I wake up in real life and continue to the Youtube vid.  I quickly fall asleep, but I feel like the dream continues.  I was then at a pool party and I was with the people of the Mole / my church.  I remember being in the pool and someone hands me a duck floatie, so I put it on.  But then I get out because I want to take a pic of me.  While I'm getting out to get my tablet, I hear someone say that I'm gonna drive my classmate somewhere because he doesn't have a car and usually walks to Mass, but because we're from the same class it's expected of me to drive.  On my way back to the pool I ask about it, but no one responds.  I ask again.  Once again, no response.  I then hear the Mole people whispering about it, that I was completely ignored and they were like shocked / thought it was fishy.  I then make it back to the pool and it's completely drained, well except some really dirty water at the bottom.  No one is saying what had happened.  I specifically remember this woman from the Mole wondering as well.  Why the pool was drained?  The pool was obviously dirty with mud and debris.  She then comments it will fill quickly, but it won't warm in enough time to continue swimming.  cc 7500centfish

Random notes...

Marna always makes call using speaker phone and it messes up my calls when I'm on an automated message thing.  Like her pressing the buttons register on my phone call and I end up having to restart or get the wrong place.

I bought stuff from Target.  But then I tried to see if it was cheaper or what to get it though Instacart.  They didn't have the same selection...  Like I couldn't find the store brand hydrocortisone through instacart.  So I just brought it for delivery straight from Target.

  • EF in the vernacularFr. Goyo says via the responses no one will be happy and it does seem to be all about Latin.  As someone who attends / likes the Novus Ordo Mass, I think the TLM needs to be preserved and in Latin.
