Today, my craven lickspittles, your mission is simple. Go out, hail a bus, and sing this to the passengers: You may ask, “This seems rather light-hearted for a brooding evil genius.

A reader writes: A friend of mine’s wife suffered a miscarriage on Friday. They want to keep it to themselves for now, so no names will be provided, but they are surely in need of any help they can get. Could you ask your readers to pray for them? Father, grant them healing and consolation in this hour, through the prayers of Our Lady of Sorrows. Grant as well eternal life to this child through Christ our Lord, brother of... Read more
