 to watch Fr. Benedict become gradually more and more frail. And you could see that his mind was failing as well. He was a giant among spiritual guides! He will be sorely missed.
Hope you had a joyous Feast Day.
Nay he rest in peace. Many of his books in my library. A true giant of the faith.

Great reflection of your memories of Fr. Benedict, Fr. C! I, too, have fond memories. I knew Fr. Benedict for many years (since he was a Capuchin.) one special memory was of thanksgiving dinner at Trinity Retreat house. It was very nice and, afterwards, he had us all pitch in with doing the dishes and cleaning up. Even Fr. Benedict (yes, he rolled up his sleeves and worked, too.) That was Fr. Benedict! He would never ask someone to do what he wouldn't do himself. Very down to earth. Sadly, one of the churches that I go to, refused to even mention Fr. Benedict's name in the prayers of the faithful. When inquiring as to why, the excuses were poor, to say the least, such as "why should we?," "if we pray for one priest, we'll have to pray for all of them," "he'll have enough prayers." very unChristian and sad reasons. we pray for people in other countries who we don't know, but exclude a saintly priest who was beloved and well known in the Archdiocese? sorry for seemingly complaining a bit, but it hurts and it's a sad truth of where the Catholic Church is heading. I find much exclusiveness and catering to a certain few and power hungry people in the church, but it should be the other way around. What happened to the Universal, All Are Welcome church? May God bless and have mercy on us all. rest in peace, Fr. Benedict. Pray for us!
Just another reflection, especially this weekend, as we celebrate All Saints and commemorate All Souls.
With the recent passing of Fr. Benedict, some of us (maybe many of us) are praying for his intercession. I know I have been. An example, a woman I know went into a coma about a little over a week ago. She came out of the coma in a matter of several days and is doing okay. Last night, the feast of All Saints, I had the opportunity (through some kind friends) to ride down to the city to Our Lady of Good Counsel church, where every first Saturday, there's Catholic Underground (Eucharistic Holy Hour) and afterwards a concert in the church hall. Last night it was Tori Harris and her band -very good and inspiring! More importantly, however, is Adoration, which the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal pour their whole heart and soul into. They are present in very real and humble ways: providing the Sacred and inspiring music; hearing Confessions throughout and beyond Adoration. The church is always filled for Catholic Underground, with people of all ages (kids, teens, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and beyond!) It's really the way Adoration should be - in every church. Unfortunately, in other churches, it's a handful of people and not even the Priest will stay and adore the Lord with the people. The Catholic Underground experience IS possible in every church, if only there was openness and people were willing to share their talents, i.e., provide music, etc...The Catholic Underground experience is all about adoring and praising our Lord and being reconciled with God and each other. Last night was was a beautiful experience! Imagine if Fr. Benedict and Fr. Andrew hadn't of founded the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. Thanks be to God that they did! They are so instrumental in helping to bring souls to God in a very real way!Yeah I see what you mean. I need to try on a suit for a wedding but instead of dragging her all the way to the store I'm gonna have it brought to the airport and I can just try it on in the bathroom while her flight arrives. That leaves everyone satisfied! I hope..

&gt;People react to jetlag differently, but the times I've traveled home, the only thing I want to do right away is find a bed and crash. Keep that in mind too.

Crap! She's only there for a week and our schedule from the second day onward (until she flies back) has pretty much been decided already. Here's hoping she can ganbaru a little and take in the sights. It's not like I'm asking her to scale a mountain or anything.The lectures were written primarily to be delivered at the summer sessions of the University of California, at Berkeley and at Los Angeles, in the summer of 1918... they are the outgrowth of almost a quarter of a century spent in work for the blind, and were written from the standpoint of a blind person, seeking to better the condition of the blind. They were addressed not to the blind, but to the seeing public, for the benefit that will accrue to the blind from a better understanding of their problems.Before hiring a 搬屋公司 https://www.goingmovinghk.com/, you must make sure that the company is legally registered and has the right insurance. You should also ask the moving company to provide you with a binding quote before hiring them. In addition, you should ask the moving company if it has business insurance. This way, you will know that your belongings will be protected during the move.
Before hiring a 搬屋公司, you should confirm that it has the proper licenses to operate in your state. Most states require that moving companies obtain a US Department of Transportation (DOT) number and have insurance. You can verify these requirements by contacting your state’s Department of Transportation. You may also be required to obtain a commercial license if you’re moving across state lines.
Obtaining a business license is important for moving companies because it helps them meet safety regulations. In the United States, this license is required for companies that operate interstate and intrastate. The FMCSA also monitors commercial drivers’ US DOT numbers and ensures that they follow federal regulations. However, state and local laws may differ, so it’s a good idea to check with the FMCSA first.
Obtaining a business license is a long and labor-intensive process. It can take several weeks or months for the license to be issued, depending on the jurisdiction and the type of business. In addition, some states have specialized licensing requirements for certain industries.
Before hiring a moving company, make sure they have an EIN. Getting an EIN is mandatory if you plan to ship your household to Australia. Make sure that the company has a copy of your EIN confirmation letter. You can get an EIN number online or over the phone.
If you’re starting your own moving company, you need to apply for specialized licensing to operate in the United States. One of the first steps is to start your business plan by applying for an employer identification number (EIN). An EIN allows you to identify your moving business as a business and file taxes.
Getting an EIN is not difficult. The IRS website offers a form where you can determine whether you need an EIN. It includes instructions for filling out the form, which is free.
Before you hire a moving company, get a binding quote. This quote will determine the price and weight of your move. Some companies will charge you by cubic foot or weight, but you should insist on a flat fee. This way, you can negotiate a lower price if you’re not satisfied with the price. You can also give up some of your old furniture to reduce the weight and price of your move.
If you’re moving long distance, ask several moving companies for binding quotes. Gather at least three quotes to get an idea of the price range. By getting multiple quotes from different moving companies, you’ll be able to find the best one for your needs. You can contact moving companies by phone, email, or through their websites. Just be sure to fill out all the necessary information so you can get a quote that is accurate and fair.
Moving companies should provide a full inventory list. This is sometimes referred to as a cube sheet or a table of measurements. The inventory should include all furniture and the approximate number of boxes you’ll need. Also, ask how much the quote will change depending on the time of year you move. Summer is a popular time to move, and prices may be higher.
Before choosing a moving company, make sure they carry proper insurance. Federal law requires them to have full replacement value protection, which pays for the cost of replacing your items at their current market value. It also covers the cost of repair if anything goes wrong. The policy should be in writing and should be clearly defined by the moving company.
Insurance for a moving company must cover a range of factors, including liability, vehicle and equipment. For example, liability insurance is required for any commercial vehicles a moving company may drive. It’s also necessary for the company to carry workers’ compensation, which covers accidents and injuries of employees. If you have an employee who works in the moving company, you’ll also need this type of coverage. You should also look into getting cyber insurance for your business.
Some movers offer cargo coverage, which will protect your household goods and personal belongings during transit. However, if you own a valuable item, you may need to purchase a separate policy to cover the entire value of your possessions. You should also make sure to take photos of your possessions before the move. Furthermore, consider using a home insurance comparison website, such as SmartFinancial, to get a free quote for your insurance needs.
