Feast of Saint Philomena
Commemoration of Saints Tiburtius and Susanna
Dear Friends:
Well, the deed is done. We have sold our manufactured house, at a loss. We had no choice as the numbers of non-tax-deductible financial gifts sent in the past few months made it impossible for us to sustain ourselves and to pay our fixed monthly expenses. We will miss the house.
Our true home is Heaven. We get eternal merit for being detached from earthly comforts. It's not a bad deal. As a matter of fact, of course, it's a very, very good deal. All to thee, Blessed Mother. All to thy Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Jesus, Mary, and, Joseph, we love you. Save souls. We are attached only to the adorable will of God. It is good to suffer a little here in reparation for our many sins. Deo gratias!
The sale of the manufactured house will bring us God willing and Our Lady interceding, some respite from the great stress, humanly speaking, of having to post these letters and then to wait for the same people, who have given over and over and over again, to respond with generosity, sometimes with great and noble sacrifices involved. We will, of course, be forever grateful to those who made possible the purchase of the manufactured house, which was indeed very nice while it lasted.
There will be no further appeals on this site for non-tax-deductible gifts, probably for the better part of the next twelve months. Those who desire to make such gifts are, of course, welcome to do so as we do not want to see the new funds, which should be in hand in a few days, depleted without some replenishment. We leave that, however, to the Providence of God and to the intercessory care of His Most Blessed Mother, trusting that there will continue to be a few hardy souls who will help us out now and again.
The work of this site will continue as Our Lady sends me the graces won for us by her Divine Son on the wood of the Holy Cross to do so. Readers can still expect between fifteen and nineteen articles a month (129 original articles have been posted thus far this year), depending upon our circumstances and my health. Efforts to secure full-time employment will, of course, continue now as they have continued unceasingly during this past six years that have been spent mostly on the road.
We are so grateful to everyone who has given to us in the past. We will be grateful to those who will choose to help us in the future.
Thank you for reading these letters.
We pray for our benefactors daily, especially in the Memento for the Living in the Canon of the Mass.
