Tuesday, September 22, 2026 Autumnal Equinox

Tuesday-Family Holy Hour   A family Holy Hour answers the need of generous souls who desire to live more perfectly the spirit of the Enthronement  and who wish to do more (we might say much more) for the Most Sacred Heart by having a weekly family holy hour. Why Tuesday. To make reparations to the Sacred Heart for betrayals; for it was Tuesday of Holy Week that Judas first made a deal with the Sanhedrin. SMOKE IN THIS LIFE, NOT THE NEXT Tue, Sep 22 — Fall Begins Cigar: Oliva Serie V Melanio (Maduro) Drink: Redbreast 12 Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Reflection: When the season of my life turns to autumn, what garments will clothe my soul? The equinox arrives, tipping the earth into the amber quiet of autumn. Leaves wither and fall, yet in the economy of grace, the close of earthly life is not decay, but the harvest of fidelity. How stark the contrast between the purgatorial flames of Innocent III and the radiant entrance of Father John de Lierre. Dying exhausted in the ...

  SMOKE IN THIS LIFE, NOT THE NEXT Thu, Sep 24 — The Power of the Mass Cigar: Factory Smokes Maduro by Drew Estate (around $2–$3) Drink: Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond (around $18–$20) Reflection: Do I truly grasp the infinite value of a single Mass offered for the dead? The drama of St. Vincent Ferrer’s sister reaches its staggering completion. Snatched from the precipice of damnation at her final breath, she nonetheless found herself enveloped in the intolerable flames of Purgatory, sentenced by divine justice to suffer until the Last Judgment.

What a sobering, magnificent reality: the Holy Sacrifice holds the power to shatter the heaviest debts of justice when human efforts fall completely flat. Tonight calls for an honest, w...

  SMOKE IN THIS LIFE, NOT THE NEXT     Wed, Sep 30 — St. Jerome (Traditional) Cigar: Strong, uncompromising  Drink: Wild Turkey 101  Reflection: Where do I seek truth with humility? St. Jerome stands in the calendar like a granite pillar—unyielding, brilliant, and aflame with the conviction that Scripture is not merely read but obeyed . His lion is not a symbol of ferocity alone, but of the courage required to confront truth without bending it to our preferences. Jerome’s strength was not bluster; it was Benedictine in its core—anchored, ascetical, and hopeful. He believed that truth, once found, must be lived even when it cuts. The tale of the unnamed French nobleman returns again as a warning. Saved only by a final act of perfect contrition, he entered Purgatory under a sentence stretching to the Day of Judgment. His crime was not ignorance but arrogance—a life lived with truth at arm’s length. Jerome would have recognized the danger immediately: pride bli...
