Visiting Paula and Sunday Mass at Saint Monica Parish, Second Sunday of ADVENT, 2023

Paula's Christmas tree

For about a year Paula has been asking me to help her edit her videos. I thought it would be a simple task to download them from her Android phone to her Chrome Book. NOT!

On Saturday, we tried but didn't get very far: I don't know if it is even possible. After fumbling for a while we gave up. I think there is a solution but we'll figure it out another time.

Paula heated up a really yummy Dr. Oetker pizza and we watched a really excellent documentary ( The Last Days ) by Stephen Spielberg. Trailer here The film traces the compelling experiences of five Hungarian Holocaust survivors who fell victim to Adolf Hitler’s brutal war against the Jews during the final days of World War II.

This recent, show of hatred for the Jewish people, especially within Universities, and not just students but professors as well, makes me think that this generation knows very little about the horrors of the holocaust. Either that or they are terribly cold-hearted. I wonder if our High school students even take history anymore.

Sunday, December 11,

Barb and I went to 9:AM mass at Saint Monica Catholic Church. We were blessed to have Bishop Yvan Mathieu celebrate Mass along with Fr. Champoux and Deacon Andre.

In his homily, Bishop Yvan spoke about the Saint Monica Parish Advent Mission and our Lady of Guadalupe I love Bishop Yvan. He is so easy to listen to and he's funny. I love that

Information re. the Mission and Our Lady of Guadalupe

A few pictures after Mass

Holy Face of Jesus

Praying for Fred

Jesus, we trust in You

Parish Hall

After mass, all were invited downstairs to the recently renovated parish hall for a chance to meet the bishop and have coffee and tea and yummy treats, which included homemade donuts like our mom made for us when we were kids. I miss you Mom!

After mass, we went back to Paula's for breakfast

Thanks, Paula and Barb!

ps. I don't know why I didn't take any pictures at Paula's, (well, except for the tree )

Protesters swarm White House defending Hamas

Gosh, do they not know anything about history? How can they be so stupid??? They should all be in prison for this hatred towards Israel and the Jewish people. This is the worst example of hate speech that I have ever seen.

Pro-life folks praying silently in front of an abortion facility can be arrested for simply standing quietly. Also, if you are a teacher and you tell your students that there are two sexes, male and female, well that's called hate speech too, and of course, you will be fired and there are tons of other examples

as we all know

That being said why is this violence permitted? These thugs are openly calling for the extermination of a whole nation of people.

Talk about a double standard. This generation has lost it! It's of control and I blame our political leaders for letting it get this far.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a prime example of a leader promoting hatred towards people he doesn't like. He hates pro-lifers as we all know and remember what he said about the truckers? What about the Residential School hoax. Teachers lost their jobs for stating an obvious truth that many of the children lost their lives through diseases such as the Spanish flu and tuberculosis etc. The bullshit is out of control and it stinks
