Berkeley, Monday, February 16, 2026 3:09 PM I am typing here a few prayers for the sake of, probably, memorizing them, but mainly, and hopefully to internalize them. Those are common prayers, so I also do not maye errors when recitating them by heart. Meals Grace Before Meals Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy […]
St. Polycarp
Started briefly on Berkeley, Saturday, February 14, 2026 7:02 PM [But updated on February 15]. Brief, and likely, shallow, nine to ten days of prayer in honor to a Saint, it is not enough to know him or her. Yet, I always wonder and admire those people who has preserved the faith with their talents […]
Notes from Mass Sermons or Rather Homilies
I might kept adding the new notes at the top. I would see. Now writing brief notes from memory for the week Feb 1 to Feb 8, 2026. Sunday, February 15, 2026 Celebrant: Fr. Nick at Saint Mary Magdalene Church. The best homilies are in the lower part. Or rather my best efforts for writing […]
Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the Hours
Berkeley, Sunday, February 8, 2026 7:32 PM The goal, at this point of this post, is to have an ongoing post with a few quotations, probably as well, with a few reflections on the Liturgy of the hours. I might use the H1 to H4 structure of this blog to move things along. How to […]
A few notes, while I might organize this blog as well
Berkeley, Sunday, February 8, 2026 6:27 PM Lord, guide my life. There will be a few blog posts, which might look as incomplete here after. [Too much noise. I unplugged the fridge. But it is hard to deal with TV noise coming from, or rather not coming from my apartment. But I guess I also, […]
Heating. Global Warming
Berkeley, Sunday, February 8, 2026 2:43 AM A parenthesis here before I start with this thought. Sometimes in conversations or advice or gift comes a book or so. As a gift is great, regardless the quality. In terms of advice, it might be OK. I keep adding to the list of books. I realized I […]
Acre-foot
Berkeley, Saturday, February 7, 2026 10:35 PM Typing this in the second floor of MLK. Library closes at 10 pm on Saturdays. A good place to work here, although, this is a distraction. And there will a few more of accounting of events. But I wandering a bit through Eshleman Hall and MLK, until find […]
A few thoughts to write them down
Berkeley, Wednesday, February 4, 2026, 2:49 am About to pray in the library. I see how satisfactory was to Saint Augustine to write continuously on a subject, but everyday. Same thing could apply to any writer. A few simple thoughts, and should not forget from other thoughts I have not checked yet. Those, of course, […]
Distractions
Berkeley, Tuesday, February 3, 2026 1:58 AM Although, it was not a long day. I was doing relevant activities until mid night. It came to my mind to check a few news. And some starts after midnight. I saw that Alcaraz, who I have followed since around 2022, won his at least seven Grand Slam, […]
Blessed Jordan of Saxony (c1190 – 1237)
Berkeley, Monday, February 2, 2026 6:28 PM Feast day: February 13 I recall reading long time that Blessed Jordan of Saxony was an excellent preacher. I wonder where I read it. He went preaching the Gospel of the Lord to the towns. It was said that moms hid their children to not being persuade and […]
