I just may be adding some Masses for them after finishing off the 30 Masses for our Holy Father, Pope Benedict (bringing us to 915!) and another 30 Masses for the priests and bishops who are suffering so much in China. See the Holy Mass page.
We — all of us together (and especially me!) – are always in need of prayer! Besides Holy Mass, my favorite is the Emergency Chaplet of the Immaculate Conception.
But Father! But Father! Didn’t you say before that there were things that, like, needed to be changed, like, now?!
Yep. There are always things that need to be changed. But we always, always live in the family of faith, with its familiar hierarchy, which is always, always to be respected and loved and honored, no matter what. Just because some things need to be changed doesn’t change that at all.
The greatest obedience is sometimes manifested in offering a fraternal correction which may or may not be appreciated. Some may offer thanks for the courtesy of the suggestion, others may… not. But that’s beside the point.
Being faithful in the household of faith, where we are to have the same judgment of matters touching on faith and morals — and charity in all truth — caritas in veritate – is always to be maintained.
As the great Father Richard Neuhaus wrote repeatedly after 2002 until his death, living in the household of faith is about Fidelity! Fidelity! Fidelity!




Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter.
