Dear Reader:

Market vendors around China are still secretly selling live wild animals despite a government ban following the coronavirus outbreak, it has been revealed. VIDEO

As of late, I’ve been frequently going to fast food places for my evening meal. Places like Wendy’s, El Polo Loco, McDonald’s, etc.. I began noticing that the night crowd got their orders to go and very few were eating inside these places. I soon got a rude awakening. Many of the homeless go inside to get out of the cold, clean up, buy something and hang out as long as they can.

After using the restroom, one homeless lady discarded belongings in the trash which stunk so badly it caused my nose to burn. Fortunately, one of the workers came over and took the trash outside to their trash bin. Seems they’re reluctant to refuse them service and if something isn’t done about it, it will just get worse.

Hi everyone,
Bishop Dolan posted on twitter a few days ago:  “We left Fr. Cekada at the ICU this evening, where he is being closely monitored.  He’s had a rough couple of weeks, with TIAs, and partial, temporary paralysis on his right side, but doctors are confident of a complete recovery.  Father is his usual cheery self. Please pray! Thanks.”

We found out he is now out of ICU but still in the hospital – he did receive Extreme Unction and it will be a long road to recovery. Please pray!
