Too many people today are without good, strong preaching, to the detriment of all. Share the good stuff.
Was there a GOOD point made in the sermon you heard at your Mass of obligation for this 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, or the 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time?
Tell us about attendance especially for the Traditional Latin Mass.
Any local changes or (hopefully good) news?
A couple thoughts about the sign of the cross: HERE A taste…

In response to the trap question the Lord asked for a coin. Not just any coin, but a nómisma toû kénsou, a “tribute coin”. They gave him one, a denarion, a Roman silver coin commonly used also as a laborer’s day wage. This coin, we learn from Christ’s interrogation (“Whose are this image and the inscription?” v. 20) bore the image of the Emperor Augustus’ adopted son Tiberius, then reigning (AD 14-37) and the Latin lettering: TI[berius] CAESAR DIVI AUG[usti] F[ilius] AUGUSTUS … Tiberius Caesar Augustus, son of the divine Augustus.” Augustus, “deified” after his death (AD 14) by acclamation, was titled also as “divi filius” as adopted son of the officially deified Gaius Julius Caesar (in 42 BC).
The coin given to the Son of God said that Tiberius was the “son of god”, Augustus). Even if the coin was older, from the time Augustus, it would have had DIVI F on it.

After a few 504’s was finally able to get in! Hopefully this will post.
Just as coins bearing the image of Caesar belong to Caesar, we who bear the image of God, being made in the image and likeness of God, therefore belong to God. We know we are known to God at the moment of our conception “before you were knitted in your mother’s womb I knew you”.
The TLM here has been full. Ushers are needed to help seat people in the remaining open pew spots. Father made a comment on attendance at the TLM here. Prior to 2020 there were approximately 400 attending two Mass times. Now there is 800 attending four Mass times. It is good to show up early for confession if you want a seat prior to Mass. The confession line gets long and you could easily not have a seat for Mass.
