I’ve been having problems with blogging material.I don’t seem to have had any.After staring at my computer for the best part of an hour in the hopes that inspiration would strike, I have decided to give up and go into the church and pray.I need prayers right now…In the meantime, I thought I’d share a rather nice video from the Solemn High Mass in honour of St. Margaret Clitherow, celebrated at St

Well, yes, I do realise that technically it isn’t celebrated until Sunday in England & Wales, but as the Extraordinary Form calendar celebrates the feast today, I’m sitting in the Small Hall in Blackfen waiting for our Missa Cantata.Much as I would prefer their Lordships to restore the Holydays, part of me recognises that such a restoration might put a bit of a crimp on the celebration of Mass in the Extraordinary Form on those days – it would become much harder to find clerics able to celebrate a Solemn High Mass, for example.In the meantime, I must confess to a certain mischievous glee associated with today’s feast.

This evening Monsignor Miaowrini came in and curled up behind my knees while I was lying down reading. She normally only does this when it is extremely cold, so I was a little surprised, but didn’t think too much about it, and, after petting her a bit, I left her alone.When I decided to get up again, I started petting her so that she would move over and not get squished.

I may have mentioned before that, being of a scientific inclination, I used to tend towards a purely rationalistic approach to the Faith. I say rationalistic rather than rational because I now know that such an approach is anything but rational.

Well, as promised, I have tidied up the blog a bit. The Kitty Kill Count gets to stay – it seems to be the one thing that everyone reads!Looking at the outclicks from my blog, I doubt that many people used my blogroll as a portal on a regular basis, so I decided to change the static, alphabetical order to one which reflects recent updates.
