Feast of St Ignatius of Loyola

Suscipe

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.


its so easy to pray this as I did several years ago but when you start to live it it can hurt.  A lot.  But I still love good holy Jesuits!! AMDG!!!

Blue Moon leaves me....blue...very very blue

I'm having a Blue Moon Belgian White beer tonite.  It's nice and cold/frosty in this 90 degree heat.  I was looking forward to taking my first sips of this Belgian Style Wheat Ale...but after my first few sips...I do not think I will be able to finish it.

How do I describe the taste?  Let me see...

Picture a nice summer rain shower in the hottest parts of Texas. A good downpour drenches everything, even some old rusted red wagon you have in your yard.  You don't ever move that rusted ol' wagon...you leave it in your yard for a little rustic appeal.  Well, the downpour lasts all day, and everything gets flooded, especially the little rusted wagon's body.

A week goes by, and there's still a little bit of water in the wagon.

Picture yourself walking over to the wagon and falling face first into it...with your mouth open.  You take a good gulp of the water that's been resting in it for a week.

THAT'S how Blue Moon Belgian White tastes like!!!!

I give it one out of five empanadas

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Mt Carmel

 

VEE:  For some reason my pastor is taking off Monday and Tuesday this summer which Im not happy about, so I couldnt attend Mass today.   Thank god for EWTN though as I was able to watch their Mass and teh homily was preached by one of my favorite priests Fr Mitch Pacwa SJ.  Now that my summer vacation is over, well it was last week but Im slow, hopefully we will psot more here and on our neglected facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/TeamOpCarm
