I live in western New York State, near Lake Erie. We’ve been getting pummeled with a literal blizzard: high winds, snow, frigid temps. There are travel bans all over and as a result we were not able to get to the Vigil Mass for Christmas today. Chances are bleak for getting to any Mass on Christmas Day. Friday night I could not get to my Holy Hours.

You miss things more when you’re deprived of them.

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
