Just beginning this one.  Will update more later

We worship as you once worshipped. If we are wrong now, you were wrong then. If you were right then, we are right now".

I just finished Yes God! By Susie Lloyd. It's a parenting book about families that raised children with vocations. Many of the families were far from perfect. It was pretty interesting. It had some nice comments about how terrible the 1970s were in the church.
Check out my Lives of the saints comics!

It has a Kindle version...   :)
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

The Machine Stops, a sci-fi novella by E. M. Forster. Metaphorically heavy-handed but some interesting Christian elements so far.

While I do not have a philosophical or theological background that I envision is necessary to fully understand what this book is saying, it is still remarkable and gives amazing insight into what the Council has done. I'm only about 150 pages in, but hearing about how vehemently the Bishops opposed Humanae Vitae is disgusting.

You're all reading such brainy books!

I'm reading The Cornish Coast Murder by John Bude...1930s classic British whodunit  :whistling:
To Jesus through Mary.

Remember the Holy Souls!

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Just about to start Dante's Purgatorio. I'm looking forward to it, since I've never read it before.

I'm reading The Lamb's Supper.  It's about the connection between John's Apocalypse and the Mass.  The book itself is Novus Ordo but I think it's based on traditional sources and I've learned a few things from it.

I haven't read that either (or the other two).  Maybe I'll check them out.  Are they each stand-alone books or does they really only make sense when they're all read together?

O Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, offer, we beseech thee, to the Eternal Father, the Precious Blood of thy Divine Son to prevent at least one mortal sin from being committed somewhere in the world this day.

Radio Replies by Fathers Rumble and Carty. The three books are excellent and work as incredibly useful refreshers for Catechism. My less dignified reading includes The Wind in the Willows. It's becoming a bit of an annual tradition  ::).

I wouldn't describe The Wind in the Willows as anything less than brilliant.

Hmm. Hate to be a killjoy. And some parts of it are hilariously funny. Other parts, however, like "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" are openly pagan and pan-theistic in a typical early 20th-century way.
