Obedience to Christ
Internet has been in and out over the last few days. Today Paola fixed it. For now.
This Sunday we will have both Masses in the Church.
The weather is now cooler and room is needed in the Center for the tag sale, which has been extended to two days. So much stuff and some really good stuff.
Raffle tickets are coming in nicely. Keep them coming. I got my car emissioned and filled up with gas. That doesn’t happen too often these days.
Had dinner with the Diccio family. Little four month old Grace Helen is going to be baptized in a few weeks. Such a beautiful baby.
I began doing a few masses / singalongs at One McDonough Place and Wadsworth Glen. Not like it used to be, but a giant step in the right direction.
We have to be sooooo careful. I have also stopped in to see some “communion call” people. We make sure we are Covid 19 negative and wear masks and keep our distance. Can’t be too careful.
I began reading American Lion, Andrew Jackson, by Jon Meacham. In his day they had duels. And we think our political time is tough!
My poor Red Sox. As I have already stated, this is a “fake” season. Maybe next year ….
I am saying almost all the Mass with the Gianelli Sisters on Round Hill Rd in Italian. They are so patient with me.
The other day I downloaded my Covid 19 test results (negative) from the CHC (Community Health Center on Main Street) so I could go to Wadsworth Glen.
I think you will enjoy this page about making passwords. The last four are the best, especially number 2. How do they expect me to remember the password?
Guidelines for creating secure passwords
The first step in protecting your online privacy is creating a strong password. To help you choose a secure password, we have added password strength meter that lets you know visually how safe your password is as soon as you create it. Tips for creating a secure password:
- Password should be minimum 7 characters.
- Do not use words that can be found in the dictionary.
- Mix capital and lowercase letters.
- Include symbols like @ , _ , # , * and/or numbers.
- Don’t use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.)
- Don’t use keyboard patterns (qwerty) or sequential numbers (1234).
- Don’t make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters.
- Don’t use repeating characters (aaaazzzz).
Tips for keeping your password secure:
- Never tell your password to anyone.
- Never write your password down.
- Never send your password by email.
- Periodically change your password.
Church officials evaluating priest who told Catholics to ‘disobey’ bishop on mask wearing Denver, Colo., Sep 2, 2020 / 03:50 pm MT (CNA). –
Both the Archdiocese of Denver and the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter are reviewing the situation of a priest who told Catholics to disobey the orders of Church and civic officials regarding masks at Mass and other religious services.
In a video posted on YouTube Tuesday, Fr. Daniel Nolan told Catholics “do not obey the bishop, do not obey the governor. They cannot tell you to wear a mask. This is a lie. They are lying to all of us.” “If your bishop tells you, don’t do it. And I encourage everybody not to wear a mask. And I am telling you: disobey your bishop, disobey your governor. That’s what I’m telling you,” Nolan added.
His remarks came at the conclusion of a catechetical session offered at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in Littleton, Colorado, which posted the video on YouTube Tuesday, and took it down on Wednesday.
Asked about the importance of obedience, Nolan told parishioners that “we ought to obey God rather than man. And if the bishop tells you to do something that is contrary to your health, contrary to reason, and contrary to the common good, disobey it.”
FYI Any priest who openly defies his Bishop can get in some hot water big time. Father Nolan is on pretty thin ice here and The AD of Denver is not going to let this by without some response.
As I reflected on this article, I wonder what Fr. Nolan means by “obeying God rather than man?” I don’t see anything in the Bible about God forbidding people to wear masks during pandemics.
For those of us old enough to remember 1974, enjoy this picture.
