Otherwise you may need to bless a rain barrel of water and use a garden hose....:)GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-7945095110699222132012-02-04T11:31:45.756+00:002012-02-04T11:31:45.756+00:00The Dawkinseenies need to be reminded that the bus...The Dawkinseenies need to be reminded that the bus was invented by Blaise Pascal - a father of probability theory and a great Catholic Philosopher.Nicolas Bellordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063019108964247676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-3844135289641567062012-02-04T11:04:44.382+00:002012-02-04T11:04:44.382+00:00Oh wonderful!Oh wonderful!margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727534908302610374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-24879539229696695272012-02-03T20:59:56.881+00:002012-02-03T20:59:56.881+00:00This is great news. :-D You never end up blessi...This is great news. :-D You never end up blessing just ONE vehicle....<br /><br />A few years ago there was a newly minted priest at St. Anne's in San Diego (and FFSP parish) and I noticed after one of the first Masses he'd done the young priest was blessing his own car -- well, predictably he ended up blessing a lot more than just his own car. It was after a Friday weekday evening Mass, so at least he got done in about 40 minutes with all the car blessings.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-19636025520993109552012-02-03T19:19:29.068+00:002012-02-03T19:19:29.068+00:00Just wait 'til the Dawkinseenies here about th...Just wait 'til the Dawkinseenies here about this.<br /><br />Verily, I tell ye, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Paulinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764882488839589040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-11229758606966627932012-02-03T18:31:49.605+00:002012-02-03T18:31:49.605+00:00I haven't yet seen this number 7.

I know Chopin visited Sussex, but did he ever actually live here? But it remains a charming idea and it's entirely fitting that Mother Beauchamp should be commemorated. Well done - quite a coup to add to the church anniversary celebrations too. (If you could bless the 28 and 29 routes in general, it would be extremely appreciated). <br />Is she the first famed Brighton religious to be bestowed with bus?Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592406521067190359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-66300860271160364562012-02-03T16:40:42.661+00:002012-02-03T16:40:42.661+00:00My Priest and Confessor blesses autos once a year....My Priest and Confessor blesses autos once a year...<br /><br />This can be very dangerous as many times he has almost gotten trampled during the mad dash of Faithful exiting the Church parking lot after Mass.<br /><br />Be careful, Padre.<br /><br />*Pablo the Mexicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384415590309803327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-18315767944978488292012-02-03T15:31:29.407+00:002012-02-03T15:31:29.407+00:00Dear Father,
