I wonder if there are any particular devotions to St Pius X? He was an extremely holy man.

Gentle Reader, I advise you not to leave it until your last tablet before going to see a doctor to renew your prescription.
I also advise against farting loudly.

Good night.

I have been listening to Fr Hardon quite a lot lately. He was a great and holy man. Let us ask his intercession. Fr Hardon, pray for us!

Is ubi legationem ad civitates suscepit, in eo itinere persuadet Castico, Catamantaloedis filio, Sequano, cuius pater regnum in Sequanis multos annos obtinuerat et a senatu populi Romani amicus appellatus erat, ut regnum in civitate sua occuparet, quod pater ante habuerit; itemque Dumnorigi Haeduo, fratri Diviciaci, qui eo tempore principatum in civitate obtinebat ac maxime plebi acceptus erat, ut idem conaretur persuadet eique filiam suam in matrimonium dat.

Gentle Reader, you would not believe the brain-ache that that sentence has given me over the last half hour.

Hello. A happy Feast of St Charles Borromeo to you.
I have been listening to Fr Hardon lectures, from the Real Presence website.
He was a very holy man.
Surely he is in Heaven.

Lots to do and a short space of time. I suppose this is a good thing. Only I want rest at the moment, not work. Time pressure has its benefits, though. It means, or should mean, that more gets done than might otherwise. Hey ho.
I do hope you are all having a happy Octave of All Saints. Let us call upon them all. Here is a prayer that invokes all of them:

Sancti Dei omnes, intercedere dignemini pro nostra omniumque salute.

V. Lætamini in Domino, et exultate, justi.
R. Et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.

Oremus.

Protege, Domine, populum tuum, et apostolorum tuorum Petri et Pauli, et aliorum apostolorum patrocinio confidentem, perpetua defensione conserva.
Omnes Sancti tui, quæsumus, Domine, nos ubique adjuvent; ut dum eorum merita recolimus, patrocinia sentiamus: et pacem tuam nostris concede temporibus, et ab Ecclesia tua cunctam repelle nequitiam: iter, actus, et voluntates nostras, et ominum famulorum tuorum in salutis tuæ prosperitate dispone: benefactoribus nostris sempiterna bona retribue, et omnibus fidelibus defunctis requiem æternam concede. Per Dominum, &c.

This was at one time used in the Little Office of Our Lady.

Here is the translation in the Baronius edition of the Lt. Office:

O all ye Saints of God, vouchsafe to intercede for our salvation, and that of all mankind.

V. Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, O ye just.
R. And glory, all ye that are right of heart.

Let us pray.

Protect thy people, O Lord, and preserve them by thy continual defence, who trust in the patronage of Peter and Paul, and all thy other apostles.
Let all thy Saints, we beseech thee, O Lord, assist us every where; that, while we honour their merits, we may experience their patronage: grant us thy peace in our times, and repel all wickedness from thy Church: dispose our way, our acts, and wills, and those of all thy servants, in the good success of thy salvation: render to our benefactors everlasting blessings, and to all the faithful departed grant eternal rest. Through our Lord, &c.

1. Why do I have so much to do?
2. Why do I leave everything to the last minute?
