The sun rose behind clouds at 06:52. I hope we will have clear skies when it sets at 16:56.
The Ave Maria should ring in its 17:15 cycle and the Vatican calendar has still got it wrong. I double checked: 4-20 November @17:15, 20 Nov- 28 Dec 17:00.
In the Novus Ordo it is the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time and it is the 5th resumed Sunday after Epiphany in the Vetus. It is the Novus Feast of St. Leo the Great (+461).
There are 52 days left in this calendar year.
The 1st Sunday of Advent is 1 December. Whew! Tempus fugit.
Thank you, Lord, for this day.

Lunch with The Great Roman. One of the most honorable men I’ve ever known. I say that on the birthday of the Marine Corps.
In churchy news….
Once again we see what “pastoral concern” means to some. Bp. Joe Vasquez, the Administrator of the Diocese of Tyler, TX, which was where Bp. Strickland was before he was so ungraciously sacked, has cancelled the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass at the diocesan cathedral and other churches, segregating those people into a single place where the FSSP serves. I learned of this first via a blistering Tweet/X from Fr. Mawdsley HERE. Now that I check around, others have this too such as Diane Montagna and Raymond Arroyo and Michael Matt, etc. In fact, it is all over the place and there is not a lot of joy.
Rorate reminds us that this happen ONE YEAR after Rome sacked Bp. Strickland. (Actually one year less one day, Strickland was sacked on the Feast of St. Martin, 11 Nov.)
Still, the proximity is telling.
Meanwhile,…
Cardinal Sarah: “Banning or suspending the Extraordinary Form can only be inspired by the devil. I am of the opinion of Benedict XVI. What was holy and sacred yesterday cannot be condemned to disappear today. What harm does the Traditional Mass cause? What harm? pic.twitter.com/5njLcvKZDN

Differing view points.
An allegory (what you don’t see in this depiction, are the rats chewing the ropes and eating the stores).
Allegorical depiction of the Church as a ship, marvelled at and fought against by people from outside, filled with the great Communion of Saints. The mast is the cross of Jesus Christ, at the top the symbol of the pelican feeding its little ones with its own blood. On the keel is… pic.twitter.com/AyRq1T9RJr

Something I sent as Provincial to our Sisters today in the USA province:
Glory be to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Today’s office of readings had a beautiful passage, “Come to him a living stone, rejected by men but approved, nonetheless, and precious in God’s eyes.”
