As For NY Jets Fans Sunday Obligation

For All Those Jets Fans Who Thought That The Game in Indianapolis fulfilled your Sunday Obligation:

I Don't Believe That You Did That. I went to 9:00AM Sunday Mass on January 12th, 1969;

Even Rex CANNOT Walk on Water, though he might try that;

For the wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth over WFAN will be great overnight and through the week ahead, be of Good Cheer & root for the NFC Opponent;

See You at Mass Next Sunday;

For Football is NOT a Religion & I don't give a flying feck, what Billy Joe Bubba says in Texas;

Pax Dominum Sit Semper Vobiscum!
Et Cum Spiritu Tuo!

"Where's My Glass Of Water"

A man is walking with God one day, in the streets. They come up on a house. God is looking for a glass of water. The man knocks on the door. A Woman answers. He asks her for a glass of water. She not only offers him the glass of water, she offers him food:

30 Years later, he and the wife are established people in the community and quite-prosperous, yet there's an impending disaster and the man is crying out to God for help;

God asked him "Where's MY Glass Of Water";

This was from a Homily, delivered by a Franciscan Priest, who was the Celebrant of The Traditional Latin Rite Mass at St Agnes Church at 143 East 43rd Street(Lexinton to 3rd Avenues On The Cross), in Midtown Manhattan. It was a Homily in connection with the End Times;

I love The Traditional Latin Mass. It's The Epistle And The Gospel, followed by the Homily, then into the Credo and then The Offertory, which is much more substantial than the Offertory In The Novus Ordo Mass. There's no BAD Music(Haugen, Haas, ETC). The True Mystery Of Faith(Mysterium Fidei) is Transubstantiation. One kneels to receive Holy Communion;

Interesting note, but in The Novus Ordo Mass at St Agnes, people also receive by kneeling at the Communion Rail. Only Priests and Deacons distribute The Eucharist and there's even Gregorian Chant and some Prayers recited in Latin at the Novus Ordo Masses there;

Never Forget God-He NEVER Forgets You;

Pax Vobiscum!

The Pharisees

The Pharisees were the Legal Experts in Matters Of Faith in Judaism, for they were the Priestly Class. Anything Regarding Faith, was settled by them. In short, they were the Go To Guys For Everything. That's why they considered The Christ as a threat to them:

Their Successors include The American Bar Association and The American Medical Association(LOL);

In the Ancient Of Days, they prescribed Punishments. Today, they'd sue;

Penance(Or Is It Torture) NOT Pennants

A lad went to The Sacrament Of Penance at his local Catholic Parish. He mentioned that he had not been to the Sacrament in 5 years:

The Priest hears his Confession of Sins Committed and comments that due to his length of time the lad had been away from The Sacrament, that the priest would have to prescribe a stiff Penance;

Priest: "Here's a Ticket for a Mets Game. AND You Have to watch The WHOLE Game. That's your penance";

For the lad did his Penance and the Mets lost-some Penance, as the Lad was a Yankee Fan;

"It's The Bloody English, I'll Tell Ya"

Outside of St Thomas Apostle Church in Woodhaven, Queens, after the 11:00AM Mass, I spoke with the Irish-Born Nurse, who gave me reports on the 2nd Generation East NY Brooklyn, known officially in Gaelic as Eire. She had just spoken to the Indian Born Priest-Mass Celebrant. He said that Indians & Pakistanis got along just fine until the English played their game of divide & conquer:

Add the Bloody English to my "Riviera Diss List" & it'll be a Great End to 2007;

Where does a Bad Irishman go, when he dies? ENGLAND;

This is a country which brought a CONFEDERATE Church to our Shores, a Church claiming to be BOTH Catholic & Protestant, ruled by a Monarchy, who had this thing about Annulments & Divorces. One wonders WHY the American Divorce Rate is so high;

They bring us a Fraternal Society of Utter Secrecy & Philosophy, which forgets about God, from a place called the United Grand Lodge Of England;

Luckily, they have no more Empire, save for the British Virgin Islands, the Falkland Islands & Bermuda, though The Queen rules that Confederate Mess called the Anglican Communion. Westminster(Catholic) is growing whilst Canterbury(Anglican) is coming apart at the seams;

Like "Fitzy" would say to England, I will say it as well & it's "Go F--- Yourselves";

A Word To Those Watching The Midnight Mass From St Peter's Basilica

John Cardinal Foley, President Of The Pontifical Council For Social Communications, is the Commentator for Tonight's Mass on NBC & EWTN. He will be working Solo & there will be moments of no commentary:

The Satellite Uplink is paid for by The Knights Of Columbus. The Order also pays for the Downlink in Mission Countries. It is on this Wonderous Night, that I'm Proud & Glad to be Part Of The Knights Of Columbus. I even get a little Teary Eyed, thinking about this;

Mercifully, you will NOT be listening to either of THESE Two, this evening, as I can Imagine that the Man On The Right Side, would be cutting one of those Altar Boy Jokes from Latin Phrases;

Pax Vobiscum;

Venite Adoremus, Dominum;

In Nomini Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritu Sancti, Amen;

He Who Exaults Himself Will Get a Kick In The Arse

Today was the Gospel about the Pharisee & The Publican.

Instead of praying to God, the Pharisee was bragging that his s--- didn't have a malodorous quality to it.

The Publican was asking for God's Mercy, admitting that he's a sinner;

Which of these 2 men received a Big Fitzy "GFY";

& which one received The Lord's Mercy;
