Voices of the 2024 Worcester Catholic Men’s Conference: Rosalie Berquist Mass Citizens for Life

This weekend I attended the 2024 Worcester Catholic Men’s Conference now in it’s 33rd year at the WQPH 89.3 FM table collecting prayer requests and getting so many names for the April Indulgence Calendar that I was able to fill half of May’s
I also conducted several interviews you can find most on Rumble and I will be posting them here this week but today we’re going to start with the one interview I did that was audio only. Rosalie Berquist of Mass Citizens for life
It’s a tough task promoting life in a state that celebrates the culture of death but as Christ said, it’s the sick who need a physician.
Not so Quick Chosen Season 4 Thoughts Under the Fedora (Lots of Spoilers)
Posted: March 2, 2024 by datechguy in catholic, entertainmentTags: scripture, the chosen
Well I’ve now watched the entire season 4 of the Chosen at the theatre several thoughts.
Maybe it’s because I live in Massachusetts but there were less people at most of the shows I went to. The best attended was a Saturday Matinee. The worst was a Cold Sat Evening. Yesterday’s Friday Matinee was meh.
The local theatre has switched to all recliners and table service. Got to maximize the revenue and with so much streaming you need to give folks an excuse to leave.
I suspect that the bad economy hurt attendance since everyone knows the shows will be streaming in a month.
Lot’s of faith based movies pushed in previews the biggest being Cabrini which looks like it will be great. The irony is that the whole “strong woman in a world of men” theme that the left loves is cancelled by the fact that because of her deep catholic faith she would not be given charge of orphans in NY or any blue state these days.
Ok spoilers follow so if you don’t want to see them don’t
(more…)March Indulgence Calendar and a story
Posted: March 1, 2024 by datechguy in catholic, catholic devotionsTags: catholic, catholic devotions, indulgence calandar, prayer, prayer request
Here is the March Indulgence Calendar
Here is the blank version:
and I have a little story for you. You may make of it what you will.
I brought my mike with me for total confusion because I needed to record my weekly radio show for WQPH (Queen of Perpetual Help) radio however circumstances never gave me the chance to record. So I figured no big deal I’d record on Monday which I took off but again somehow I just didn’t get a chance to record.
Now I was really getting up to a deadline so I was determined to get the show recorded right after daily mass but somehow I kept getting delayed till FINALLY I was able to get started.
I had just listed the prayer intentions for the show when the phone rang (I don’t have a cell phone) I paused the recording to hear the voice of a friend. He was hospitalized, she already had heart issues which were expected to be fatal and was now recovering from a stroke. She asked for prayers for her mother and children and there was no knowledge of how long she would be around.
Now this is the thing, if I had recorded the show at any of the times I should have it would have been in the bank and her request would have to wait for the next show to air March 9th. If I had managed to get started on my recordings early that morning as I planned same thing. And if she had called just a couple of hours later It would have been too late, I’d be at work and she would have missed me completely.
Nope she called at the exact moment in fact the last possible moment when I could squeeze in her prayer intentions to get them into the show broadcast tomorrow.
I submit and suggest that this type of thing is God’s MO and has been for millennia. Any reading of scripture shows it to be so, and I further submit and suggest that God is just as active as he was during biblical times to those who call upon him, but we’ve trained ourselves, or have been trained not to see what is in front of our faces.
At least that’s my take but feel free to make of it what you will.
