This was making the rounds a few weeks ago, but still on the mind. Is proximity the missing value in contemporary Catholic life? (Also: here's why it makes sense that our more distant members want to move closer.)

@hmkherman @WASPapist Indeed we use it regularly. I think it's fairly common among Ordinariate parishes. In the last few years we've always used either that or Form 1 (the old "Prayer for the whole state of Christ's Church").

Awesome Corpus Christi celebration on Sunday here.

This is an encouraging affirmation from the Holy Father of what we're planning this weekend.

Inspiration for next year in Bridgeport, maybe?

Give glory to God in all things!

We are really excited about this joint venture for Bridgeport. How often do you see something with a Knights of Columbus council representing not just three parishes but three different Catholic dioceses?

Love this little line from the collect for St. Mark: "give us grace; that, being not like children carried away with every blast of vain doctrine, we may be established in the truth of thy holy Gospel." Avoid those blasts of vain doctrine!

"The Ordinariate is much more than an alternative way of coming into full communion...  At its heart it is an acknowledgement that there was much in Anglicanism that nurtured us in the faith and led us to see that we had to seek communion with Peter."

Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Patronal Feast of the United States of America.

Reminder that today IS a Holy Day of Obligation.

O GOD, who in the foreknowledge of thy Son's most precious death didst consecrate for him a dwelling-place by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary: mercifully grant that she who was preserved from all defilement, may evermore pray for us, until we attain unto thee in purity of heart; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
