Consecration to Jesus through Mary and St. Joseph.
Fr. Mic Calloway has a beautiful 33 day consecration program. A small group of us did it last year. Now the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph being proclaimed as the patron Saint of the Catholic Church.
Please consider this formula in 2021 if you haven’t already done so…
St. Joseph.
Pray for the Holy Catholic Church and it’s current Pope.

Devotion to St. Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul, for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of our Lord’s graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, he unites it to St. Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint.
~ St. Peter Julian Eymard
Consecration to St. Joseph is worth the effort.
We need to be united to the Holy Family now more than ever.
Ok.
That’s the end of my PSA.

For all of the preaching against money, this pontificate and its inner party functionaries sure do grub around for it a lot–renting out the Sistine Chapel to Porsche, grasping for the funding of the suppressed FFIs, taking control of the Knights of Malta and their resources, looting the Papal Foundation for an Italian hospital known for corruption problems, the London property fiasco, Bertone’s apartment renovation…
One would like to believe the Vatican hasn’t been compromised by a flow of yuan. But between China brazenly buying influence and Rome brazenly hoovering up cash, I’m not willing to wager much on that pious hope.
Unfortunately, money is, as they say, fungible.
