Veritas Press' The New Marian Missal (1958 reprint) in almost mint condition  :)

I paid only 10$ plus 4$ for shipping.

I myself have found some excellent deals on Ebay, like a St Joseph's Missal (ages ago now), which even inclusive of post from the US was cheaper than a reprint, and in almost as good condition.

Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

The Curt Jester

A wallet.  It will be replacing the wallet that I've had for the past 25 years or so.
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the Monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!"

The boys are really liking their mini-picnic table. They seem to do much better during meals vs the booster seats. Collapses flat, so we can take it places too.

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"

A new doll for my collection that I've wanted for years.  ;D And some Fr. Faber books for Kindle. I wish TAN would sell them on their website as ebooks, but all they have is At the Foot of the Cross.

I bought a 1959 Rembrandt edition Confraternity and Douay texts Bible. Unfortunately the seller sent a KJV. Beautiful as it is, I have no use for it.

So it's being returned. *sigh*
