- Thanks to C.W. for some Hermits Bold Blend Mystic Monk Coffee. A great wake-me-up in the morning. Very thoughtful.
- Thanks go to G.P.E. and S.M.E., for their regular donation to the hermitage. Very kind.
- Thanks go to S. & W. D., who were the “Anonymous” who sent in the book on the Liturgy the other week. Now we know! Thank you for that.
- Thanks to F.K. for a donation toward the health and welfare of Laudie, who seems to be coping well while some arrangements are made.
- Meanwhile, also for Laudie, comes a post-mortem gift from Father Bill, among whose possessions I was able to make use of some dog flea killer spray. His dog already has a new home. Thanks, Father. We pray for the repose of your soul. Hail Mary…
- Meanwhile, also for Laudie (this is becoming a trend), thanks to volunteers of the friends of animals crowd for fielding a call from yours truly about those arrangements for her. We’ll see how that goes.
I can see that Laudie is rather popular!
May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you all according to the perfect intercession of the Immaculate Conception.

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.
