You can’t go wrong with our lady
🎵 Joachim and Anne were good folks
They loved the Lord just fine
They never imagined that the Grandson they'd be having
Would be their God divine
And would appear both as bread and fine wine 🎵

🎵 Singin'...
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the sinners who will be redeemed
Joy to you and me 🎵

🎵 That day the prince of the world
Did not know what to do
There was no sin of Adam to let him get at her
So her love of God shined through 🎵

🎵 Pray it now
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the sinners her son will redeem
Joy to you and me 🎵

🎵 You know I love Our lady
She leads me to her son
My sins are forgiven inside me he is living
That most straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
With Mary keeping the devil on the run 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the sinners who will be redeemed
Joy to you and me 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the sinners Jesus will redeem 
Joy to you and me 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world
Sinners will be free
Joy to the world
Today Mary is conceived 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to us sinners that will be redeemed 
Joy to you and me (Amen) 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world (Hail Mary!)
All the boys and girls
Joy to those sinners her son will redeem
Joy to you and me
You know I mean 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world (Amen!)
All the boys and girls
Joy to the sinners she will help set free
Joy to you and me
You know I mean 🎵

🎵 Joy to the world
All the boys and girls (Hail Mary!)
Joy to the sinners Christ will soon redeem
Joy to you and me 🎵

This month’s indulgence calendar is now available for download. Pete Rose, the first player I drafted in my 1969 Dynasty League and who led my team to a world series that season and to a division title this season (1972) died yesterday so alas he will have to wait till next month to be included.

Remember if you have a family member or friend you want included on next month’s calendar simply leave the person’s name in comments and we’ll be happy to do so and also remember them in prayer on our weekly EWTN radio show Your Prayer Intentions.

I have today off but ended waking up a full hour before my normal work alarm quipped about it on twitter leading to a slightly comical exchange with Wombat from The Other McCain site which ended in this tweet:

I mention this because one of the great things about the Indulgence calendar is that it lists many of the ways one might earn a plenary indulgence which eliminates the need for purgatory.

Of course if one still has attachment to sin the indulgence becomes partial but even a partial indulgence lessens the time in purgatory as it advances the purification of the soul which is the purpose of purgatory to purify souls that are destined for heaven which have not reached the state necessary for entry.

So even if you don’t use the Indulgence calendar for it’s standard purpose take advantage of the list of indulgences and types to earn them for yourself.

Details on how indulgences work are listed there.

Think of it, simply reading scripture for a half hour or more carries a plenary indulgence. That’s the easiest way to get it done next to doing the stations of the cross.

It’s a new month so time for a new indulgence Calendar and it’s a busy one if you live near me because there are multiple feast days for saints who have a church dedicated to them meaning lots of extra Plenary indulgences available just for going to mass.

Remember there is always a plenary indulgence available for going to mass on the feast day of a saint at a church dedicated to said saint so this month will be a big one for all those St. Anthony of Padua and St. John the Baptist churches nationwide.

I’ve decided not to do the blank ones except on request. The lines below the names listed can be used to add additional names for a particular day.
