Texas attorney general moves to shut down Catholic migrant shelters
The lawsuit from Ken Paxton's office "seeks to revoke Annunciation House's authorization to do business in Texas and asks the court to appoint a receiver to liquidate their assets."
A blessed and happy Epiphany to all who observe
Interesting juxtaposition of readings for today. In the Gospel Jesus says that an army of a thousand would not go to war against an army of two-thousand. And in the Office of Readings from I Maccabees, Judas Maccabaeus says yes, actually, we’re doing exactly that.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night,
and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.
~St. Francis of Assisi,
“Canticle of Creatures”
September 3rd is the Feast of Pope Saint Gregory Who Never Had His Picture on Bubble Gum Cards

~St. John Chrysostom, from today's Office of Readings
I mean if "God Bless America" can be sung in a liturgy for Fourth of July weekend, I'd assume "Solidarity Forever" is liturgically appropriate for Labor Day Weekend.
I'm tired of acting my age, mostly because people my age are so tired.
This is someting I wish I'd realized a lot sooner in life.
