Bringing in the New Year in prior years meant being tuned into one of the 3 Television Networks just before Midnight, EST here in the 5 Boroughs. This was in the 1960s, 1970s, and the 1980s. There was no such thing as streaming on one’s computer or smartphone. Now one has a choice of being […]
Short Messaging Service is very useful in communication with people. One thing is one can talk around the world to someone(in Ireland and The UK, as well as Canada and Mexico)from the USA. It is cheaper than calling that person. My experience here in NYC is with those who come from Ireland and The UK. […]
I have Microsoft Office on my Samsung Galaxy A03s. In the old days on Windows, Microsoft Documents couldn’t be converted to a PDF. BUT on Mac OS X and later, Microsoft Documents could be converted to PDF format. And now on my Samsung Galaxy A03s, running on Android 12, all Docs can be converted to […]
I viewed the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, from St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church in Stuyvesant Square, Manhattan, a block away from The East Village. The Pastor, Fr Ed Cimbala, offered the Palm/Flowery Sunday Divine Liturgy for the Start of Holy Week, which unlike in the Roman/Latin Church, is the end of The Great […]
In The Sunday Before Theophany, in The Holy Gospel According To St. Mark, St. John The Baptist appears, as Herald For Christ, calling Sinners to repent of their Sins and be Baptized.

Communicant will go 6 feet away & place the Host in one’s mouth & continue to one’s designated seat. This is the […]
This Holy Day Feast, though not of Obligation, also commemorates St. Basil The Great, Doctor of The Church. I was born in Brooklyn, NY on Friday, January 14th, 1955. Later in that year, the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the NY Yankees in a 7 Game World Series. Now realizing that January 14th is January 1st on […]
As far as the Christmas Cycle(Nativity) goes in the Catholic Church, the Traditional Cycle continues until February 2nd(The Purification of Mary & Presentation of The Child Jesus In The Temple), which on the Julian Calendar is February 15th. However, the Greatly PROTESTANTIZED Calendar of the “Ordinary Form”, better known as the “Novus Ordo” or New […]
Within One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church, there are two expressions for the Great Feast of Epiphany. In The Byzantine Rite, it is called Theophany. This is a Day which has not been hijacked for Political & Cultural Reasons. Theophany is the Revelation of Christ as being baptized in The River Jordan by St. John […]
In the Roman/Latin Rite & in the Novus Ordo Rite, January 1st in the Octave of Christmas, it being the 8th Day of Christmas, is a Holy Day of Obligation in the United States, except on Saturdays & Mondays, due to being before & after Sunday. Unlike in the days of the Tridentine Latin Mass, […]
