ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:
The Rolling Stones made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on October 25, 1964, where they performed "Around and Around" and "Time Is on My Side," gaining significant national attention. This performance marked a pivotal moment in their career, helping to elevate their popularity in the United States. The show attracted a raucous audience, with fans screaming throughout the performances. Ed Sullivan noted that it was one of the wildest audiences he had ever seen. The performance helped generate over one million dollars in ticket sales for their fall concert tour. 🎸🎶

St. Raphael, healer of the sick, pray for us. 🕊️
St. Raphael the Archangel is invoked for all who are sick in soul or body, that they may be healed, as Tobias’s father was healed.
“O Raphael, Celestial Medicine, companion of travelers and healer of the sick! Guide us safely through the perils of this life, and cure the wounds of our souls, that we may enter into the eternal joy of the Lord.”
Hear more of the Sisters’ chant on our first album, Lumen, out January 15.

#MKR I couldn’t believe what I heard about Oliver that he said his octopus dish was a traditional GOOD FRIDAY meal handed down by his Nonno and rolled in salami! Really? I am Nonno’s age, we never eat meat on Good Friday. In fact I never eat meat on any Friday! 😁
I actually meant to say the octopus was stuffed with salami, not rolled. I’m surprised nobody brought this up about salami on Good Friday, especially Colin! @Fassnidge73

60 years ago today, 144 lives were lost at #Aberfan , including 116 children. For many in South Wales, the tragedy remains deeply personal.
This clock stopped at 9:13 am, a haunting reminder of that terrible morning.
At 9:15, we pause to remember.
Cofiwch Aberfan.

Someone in your family prays the rosary every day. Maybe your mother, maybe the grandmother who taught you, maybe you. And almost nobody in that family has noticed what they are asking for, over and over.
Fr. Dan Reehil, an exorcist, does the math first:
"IF YOU PRAY THE ROSARY, YOU'RE PRAYING 53 HAIL MARYS A DAY, AT LEAST."
Fifty three times a day. And every single one ends with the same request. Hear the last line the way an exorcist hears it:
"PRAY FOR US, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF DEATH."
Every bead is the same appointment, booked again: asking the Mother of God to be in the room at the one hour nobody can prepare for any other way. The hour the enemy saves his best material for, because it is his last chance.
And here is what Fr. Reehil says that hour looks like for the people who kept the habit:
"PEOPLE WHO LIVE A DEVOUT LIFE OF GRACE ARE NOT GOING TO BE MANIPULATED AT THE HOUR OF DEATH."
Not because they are stronger than you. Because they arrive at that hour with fifty three requests a day already on file, years of them, and the Mother they asked does not forget an appointment.
So the beads in your home tonight are not only for tonight. Every Hail Mary is a deposit in the one hour where everything is decided, for you and for every name you carry.
Pray one right now, slowly, and hear the ending this time:
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
👇 One word if the rosary was passed down to you by someone in your family: INHERITED.

I thank God for your life.
For the years He entrusted you to this earth…even though it didn’t deserve you. For the love that He allowed me to know so deeply as your wife.
You always had a way of making even the ordinary moments in life feel like a glimpse of Heaven. And to that, and much more babe, I’ll forever celebrate you. How blessed I am that God gave me a once in a lifetime love that I will spend the rest of my life thanking Him for.
I can’t even imagine how many scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream you’re having in Heaven since calories don’t count up there, but down here, we’ll still save a scoop for you.
Happy birthday baby.
