My dearest friends
For the past week our Electricity supplier has cut our power for up to 10 hours per day. This made it very difficult to do the posts but I managed. Then, on Sunday morning, at 08.00, without prior warning, our electricity went off and is still off. We managed to get our phones charged elsewhere and so I am able to let you know. So sorry! We need to save up to buy a generator.
I 🙏 I will be back soon.

Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the Catholic Church and all her teachings.
PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 95% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏

Ana, I’m sorry you have to constantly endure this. Just one day of it here will have me grumbling and griping.

Thank you Caitlynne – the Power is back!
We are so blessed in SA – we just have to look at our neighbour to see true suffering – those who live with nothing – how can we complain? 🤗💘🙏

A friend of mine who was in hospital for a few days with her sick child said almost the same thing because she saw others worse off.

How much does a generator cost? Is fuel available? Why doesn’t your government subsidize solar energy panels? Harness the wind! From what you told me they are a very disorganized lot. S A has 3 capitals doesn’t it. Sun and wind is plentiful is it not?
Also, pray to St Joseph that I might find a way to Poland to assist with the refugees from Ukraine.

Oh Hughie – there are so many more who need care and just the basics of life! If there is any available funds it will go to them firstly and there will be nothing left for anyone else – especially the original “oppressors.”
Hughie – Poland – you must be crazy? Your age is against you dear one – is it not?
