Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

Aside from searches for the TLM in this region or at particular Parishes (locales), one of my most popular searches is for "Fr. John McCloskey ." I found a website on which he posts meditations and I'm happy to present one here . It is excellent advice as one would expect. I hope to make this an occasional feature.

I am pleasantly surprised that one of the more sought after posts on this blog is the " Lifetime Reading Plan " by Fr. John McCloskey. Here is another link to his "featured articles ." And this link takes you to his book reviews . For those who have searched, there is no "Opus Dei" Parish in Baltimore to my knowledge. I know that Opus Dei operates several high schools within the U.S. but I don't believe there is one in Baltimore. Here is a link to Opus Dei in the U.S.

Here is some news for a beautiful Sunday... Father C. John McCloskey of the Prelature of Opus Dei has a remarkable background that began on Wall Street . His biography is quite astounding as indicated here . Stories on those souls who have converted to the Faith under his spiritual guidance are also numerous . Fr. John has what he calls a Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan that I printed out years ago. While some may quibble that "this should be added" or "that should be deleted," the plan is an excellent one. It contains some of the great works of Roman Catholic literature from famous novelists, saints, Popes and apologists. Here is a just a brief look : St. Catherine – Little Talks with God (modernized version of "The Dialogues") – Spiritual Classics Cervantes – Don Quixote – Literary Classics Chautard – Soul of Apostolate – Spiritual Reading Chesterton – Everlasting Man – Spiritual Classics Chesterton – Orthodoxy – Spiritual Classics Chesterton –
