Today within the Catholic Church, we celebrate the Memorial Feast of Guardian Angels. Of all the feast days within the church, a Memorial holds the lowest ranking. There are Solemnities, which are also Holy Days of Obligation, Feasts Days and Memorials.

Let’s begin by saying Hello October! And how are you? Within the Catholic Church, the month of October is dedicated to praying the Holy Rosary. Every year I vow to follow the examples of my faith and pray the Rosary every day. I have yet to make it to the finish line.

Wow – today is the last day in September. We are three-quarters of the way through another secular year. Unlike the secular year, the Church begins a new liturgical year with the arrival of the Advent Season, four Sundays before Christmas.

Recently at a family barbecue, Hubby and I got to talking with an in-law of sorts. He is my sister’s husband’s nephew. While not a Catholic, my sister married into a very Catholic family.

Many, many moons ago (several lifetimes ago) I use to get up early to go fishing at one of the many man-made lakes in the area. The best part of doing this wasn’t the fishing, but the big country breakfast to start the day.

As the first golden threads of the morning stretch out across the sky, our souls are awakened even when the body is still sleeping. We respond to the coming day, and might even say a prayer of thanksgiving without uttering a word. It’s a connection to nature and the One who created all.

The world seems to be changing. Some see it as a very scary place. Who wants to bring children into this crazy, upside down world? Instead of living in fear and dread, why not look at this as a time of opportunity?

Every year Hubby and I put in what we jokingly refer to as our Salsa Garden. We grow several varieties of tomatoes, peppers and Tomatillos. The only things we don’t grow for the salsa are the onions and cilantro.

Just how many different ways are there to make a hot dog? That’s something my guys ask me all the time. It’s my job to come up with something different. After all, life is extraordinary – and should be lived as such.

Welcome to the Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Times, Year C in the three-year cycle. This designation simply tells the faithful what Scriptures will be read today at Mass and the proper Responsorial Psalms. It is also the twenty-first day of September. This means today we acknowledge the feast day of Saint Matthew, Apostle and follower of our Lord.
