  SMOKE IN THIS LIFE, NOT THE NEXT June 15 Choose a cigar with backbone today — something that refuses to bend, the way Thomas More refused to betray his conscience. Better to burn now in truth than later for cowardice. Prayer O my God, we beg of Thee in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, through the merits of the Precious Blood offered in every Mass throughout the world, to grant conversion to sinners and to all who will die this day the grace of repentance and a happy death. If it be Your Will, accept this offering to console the Heart of Jesus in agony for souls lost through error against the true Church of Christ. Have mercy on the holy souls in Purgatory, especially the forgotten. Do not delay their deliverance, but let the purifying flame consume their defects so they may stand in Your divine presence. Amen.

Christ’s words to the “little flock” are not sentimental; they are a declaration of sovereignty. The Father is pleased to give the Kingdom, and More received it even as the world stripped everything else away. The Catechism teaches that the Kingdom is already present in Christ and mysteriously growing in those who belong to Him (CCC 2816–2819 ). It is not seized by force or secured by earthly g...

Smoke in This Life — June 21 Solstice • Father’s Day • Eleventh Sunday A mild Connecticut Shade, a steady pour of Knob Creek 12, and the long light of the solstice remind a man what fatherhood truly is — strength that shelters, and shelter that strengthens. Butler’s Lives tells of a woman shown Purgatory and Hell, recognizing faces she had known, and choosing to return to earth so others might reach Heaven first. That is the heart of a father — the refusal to rest while his children are still in danger. And today we remember the old promise of the two lost drops of Christ’s Blood — held in reserve for the most endangered souls, proof that no child is beyond the reach of the Father’s mercy. Reflection Question: Whose soul has God placed in my care, and what strength must I offer so they reach home.
