The Hobby Lobby case

As I've mentioned before, the argument for "religious liberty" is quite a slippery case and would eventually lead to the undermining of particular things. Now that said, the victory for Hobby Lobby is a good thing for the hopeful destruction of Obamacare. I do however have some thoughts.

1. Why should an employer pay for the moral license of anyone? A company pays an employee to do work for them, not for their time off the premises. (When not functioning in a work capacity)

2. With an entity the size of the government, considering how competent we know certain places to be, what would have happened if HL decided to not provide them anyway?

3. Is not the fact that we're depending on SCOTUS to save our behinds both a symptom and a part of the problem?

12 years...still not easy

While the Church of East and of West celebrates the solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul, today is the 12th anniversary of my mom's death.

In your charity, if you can please pray for her, and for myself, my oldest nephew, my sister and my dad. By no means do these things get any easier, Normally I find it much easier to hide my own suffering, but I guess it's one of those things that a teenage boy should not have to watch his mother deteriorate right in front of him.

For the blessed repose of my mother, let us pray to the Lord, Lord have mercy

For the souls of the faithfully departed, let us pray to the Lord, Lord have mercy

For a good account before the fearsome judgement seat of Christ, let us beesech the Lord, Grant this O Lord.

Pray for me, it's been rather rough this year, and I really do feel like breaking down

Pax Vobis

Thought of the day

If Jesus is the center of our Faith, it should logically follow that He be at the center of our churches. There is a beautiful theology as to why we have the Tabernacle in the middle, it's definitely time to revisit it.

Thought of the day

Those that are hurt often hide their pain, not because they're trying to be secretive, but rather because it is difficult to express the pain adequately. They may or may not speak of their pain, but they do pray for an apology....it would definitely help them.

Thought of the day

Pride is one of the toughest sins to overcome, the exalting of our egos makes for a tough journey. It's antidote is authentic humility, which of course requires things to be done, which we don't always wish to follow.

Pray for me, pray that I do not flee from the wolves

Thought of the day

The motion of the Liturgy must be prayed in light of the parts prescribed to each.
