Anyway, it is now 2013 and in the 2010 (I think) the language of the Roman Mass was changed, which I think is really nice (still stumble over the Creed, "And with Your Spirit" and a few others - hey, I am 54, and it's going to take a long time to memorize this new stuff.) I digress. I found at home a 1963 (or at least Post Vatican II) St. Joseph's Daily Missal. Can I still use this for daily scripture readings and I am not sure if it comports with the now current Roman Mass. I would tend to think yes, because I am using the Missal to "talk" to God, and I don't think he would mind if I use an older version of a prayer in private devotions. So, do I need to buy a more current Daily Missal?DianeDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-59040900960583438392013-05-28T06:19:01.464-07:002013-05-28T06:19:01.464-07:00What is the best way to choose a name/patron saint...What is the best way to choose a name/patron saint for your unborn child?

Also who is the patron saint of thrift stores (other than the saint my thrift store is named after?) For the record, St. Louise Thrift Store is my work place, and St. Louise is really great at interceding for us, our volunteers and customers. Sometimes too much. But thank-you, St. Louise!
