Just thought I would repost this video. What he says is brilliant. A great teacher. Super-Catholic.
This repost is a bit of a chess move. 
You do like chess, don’t you?
Father Mark is the celebrant for the Funeral Mass for his mother at noon in St. Agnes Church. Interment in St. Joseph Cemetery, West Mifflin. Memorial contributions may be made to Vincentian Home, 111 Perrymont Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15237.
I was the celebrant for the funeral of both my father and then my mother. Heart wrenching.
May the angels lead her into paradise!
And may the Lord bless you, Father Mark.
Saint Michael the Archangel…
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. 
Amen. May God Almighty Receive her soul. Fr may you be consoled also by our Lord Jesus Christ… God be with you.
God continues to work miracles!
May He continues to work wonders through the intercession of Mrs Gruber and consolation to Fr Gruber and his family.
Aw, tears in my eyes! Wonderful news. Continued prayers for Father. God bless his wonderful family!
Indeed it must be a bittersweet thing to celebrate a parent’s funeral mass. However I would suspect the prayers couldn’t be said with more ferver so maybe that makes it something exceedingly happy. I guess it just depends which side of the curtain one is on.
As for the chess game – looks like you’re playing with M.C. Escher’s board.
I attended the funeral Mass of Mary Martha Gruber. Word was that the woman breathed her last even as her priest son celebrated a private Mass with her and their family around her bed. It was the first Mass she shared with her son in 42 months, since he had been denied priestly faculties in a move that can only be described as the weaponizing of the false accusation.
